1  .     INTRODUCTION      SUMMARY

1.1  Purpose of Project

The purpose of this project is to review and assess the current status of commercial and advanced flue gas NOX control technologies for utility and large industrial boiler applications in support of P ETC' s program development for the Proof-of Concept Test and Evaluation of Advanced NOR Control Processes. Emphasis has been placed on the following areas :

o  Understanding the- current status of advanced technologies and their potential applicability;

o  Qualitative assessment of technology advan t ages and disadvantages ;

          Identification of data gaps and poorly understood phenomena;

O      Identification of recent significant technology advances; and   Strategic use of various technologies .

Each technology (or group of similar technologies) is evaluated in a separate section of the report . A general overview of a technology is initially provided, followed by a specific review of key technology operating mechanisms , components, materials, systems integration, etc . Results are provided from recent test programs sponsored by DOE and others . Large- scale design configurations are quantitatively examined ( if sufficient data was available) . R&D cons iderati ons and recommendations are provided. In addition, a technology assessment data sheet has been completed for all technologies reviewed; a blank form is shown in Figure 1•1. These data sheets can be updated on a regular basis and can be compiled into a separate quick reference resource .

The remainder of Section 1 briefly examines the broad-based NOX emissions issues and their impact on control technology, reviews the current control regulations in Germany and Japan and their overall approach co NOX control, assesses the need for more advanced NOX control technology , reviews the utility boiler NOX control market characteristics and examines key aspects of integrated NOX control technologies and implementation strategies.

1.2  Major NOX Emissions Issues

Recent research findings link nitrogen oxides (NO. N02 and N20, collectively called NOX) to a broad range
