Ever tightening emission regulations and the increasing role and unpredictability of renewable power generation in certain markets is impacting the way gas fired power plants operate. Many gas units are now operating on non-design variable duty cycles forcing power producers to look at the impact on overall unit efficiency, reliability, emission compliance and SCR system performance. The impact of cyclic operation on units with SCR may cause increased ammonia slip and NOx emissions, ammonia sulfate and bisulfate or bisulfite salt formation causing corrosion, increased pressure drop, tube cleaning costs, and ammonia usage. As a result, more than even before, the best practices for preventative maintenance, unit efficiency including SCR inspection and testing must be evaluated, and in some cases adjusted.
Now offering Certificates of Completion for all our Webinars.
Concord Environmental has many years of extensive design and field experience on combined cycle and simple cycle units manufactured by all major SCR system integrators and HRSG OEMs. They have incorporated this knowledge and experience into new Concord SCR systems. Concord Environmental also provides in-depth analysis of your existing SCR system needed for high reliability and unit efficiency. This includes helping you develop the right preventative maintenance plan including inspection procedures, catalyst testing, modeling, and if needed, component redesign.
Bill Gretta, PE, Engineering Director for Concord Environmental, an expert in SCR technology, will present an informative webinar that provides actionable strategies for:
Understanding what will improve your SCR’s performance
Reducing ammonia consumption and ammonia slip through AIG tuning
Understanding SCR catalyst deactivation and the importance of regular testing
Increasing efficiency and power output by lowering system ΔP
The impact of load cycling on the SCR Catalyst
Combined Cycle case study presentation
In this webinar you will also learn:
How to develop a PM inspection plan for SCR systems
The Importance of regular SCR and CO catalyst testing
Design reviews of your system
Using CFD modeling to enhance performance
Best practices for cleaning your catalyst and AIG
