Abstract

The first commercial installation of NOXStar (formerly known as SACR) emissions reduction technology is due to take place shortly at TVA's Colbert 4 plant in Alabama. Not as expensive as SCR but much more effective than SNCR, the NOXStar process involves injection of ammonia-based reagent with small amounts of hydrocarbon into the boiler superheater/reheater pass to autocatalyse post combustion flue gas.
