Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, September, 2005 by Srivastava, Ravi K.; Hall, Robert E.; Khan, Sikander; Culligan, Kevin; Lani, Bruce W.

ABSTRACT

Recent regulations have required reductions in emissions of nitrogen oxides (N[O.sub.x]) from electric utility boilers. To comply with these regulatory requirements, it is increasingly important to implement state-of-the-art N[O.sub.x] control technologies on coal-fired utility boilers. This paper reviews N[O.sub.x] control options for these boilers. It discusses the established commercial primary and secondary control technologies and examines what is being done to use them more effectively. Furthermore, the paper discusses recent developments in N[O.sub.x] controls. The popular primary control technologies in use in the United States are low-N[O.sub.x] burners and overfire air. Data reflect that average N[O.sub.x] reductions for specific primary...
