DeNOx System

DeNOx System

DeNOx System is the facility to eliminate nitrogen oxide (NOx), which is the major material causing acid rain and photochemical smog. NOx reduction technology can be divided into 3 fields: Pre-combustion denitrification, improvement of combustion conditions, and Post-combustion denitrification. Regarding the removal efficiency, Pre-combustion denitrification and the improvement of combustion conditions does not exceed maximum of 60%.
Accordingly, most of the DeNOx systems for power plant using fossil fuels apply Post-combustion denitrification, which has high denitrification efficiency. Of those, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is widely used throughout the whole world due to its excellent denitrification efficiency and high reliability.
KEPCO E&C performs engineering and construction of DeNOx system for the most thermal power plants in Korea.
