Nitrogen oxide emissionsmust be reduced
For industrial furnaces andcombustion plants, the limitvalues for nitrogen oxideemissions have been increasingly tightened up inrecent years. In addition to thecombustion-related primarymeasures, such as gradationof the combustion air and fluegas circulation, great importance is also attached toreducing the nitrogen oxidesby injecting in denitrificationagents.
Without these secondary measures, it would be difficultto achieve the limit values inforce today. In these processes, selectively-acting reducing agents suchas ammonia water or urea areusually injected into the fluegas. The success of thisprocess is to a great extentdependent on perfecting thenozzle technology employed.

SNCR process
The SNCR process is often used in refuse incineration plants, the cement industry and power stations.Here, the optimum temperaturerange in which the nitrogen oxidesare reduced at afavourable rate is approximately 900 to 1000 °C.
In addition to the temperature, the correctdroplet spectrum is alsoof particular importancefor ensuring that theprocess runs optimally:The droplets must be sufficiently large so thatthey penetrate sufficientlydeep into the flue gasflow and nevertheless stillevaporate reliably. Themost even distributionpossible of the reducingagent in the flue gas flowis also important.
Lechler twin-fluid flatspray nozzles meet theserequirements convincingly.Their high pulse rate andthe deep, flat coverage oftheir spray pattern allowoptimum mass transferbetween the reducingagent and the flue gasflow. As they are easily controllable, twin-fluidnozzles are optimally suited for the greatly fluctuating NOxconcentrations in cementworks and refuse incineration plants.
SCR process
The SCR process with injection isused mainly in power stations, butalso in refuse incineration and theglass industry. This involves injecting the reducing agent
upstream of the catalyst,whereby it must be distributed in the fluegas flow as homogeneously as possible and evaporatedvery quickly.
In practice, static mixersthat mix gas and the reducing agent are often used in addition tothe nozzles. This allowsextremely short evaporation paths at alow temperature level of approximately 300 to400 ºC.
It must be guaranteedthat the reducing agent is completely evaporated before itreaches the catalyst. To make sure of this, Lechler has developedtwin-fluid nozzles thatmeet these requirementssuperbly by virtue oftheir extremely finedroplet spectrum andtheir precise controllability, and thathave proved extremelysuccessful when usedin large power stations.

Lechler twin-fluid flat spraynozzles add to these properties with even better,complete coverage.
Lechler twin-fluid nozzles forSNCR plants atomize on thebasis of the internal mixingprinciple. Changing the air/liquid ratio allows the dropletspectrum and the pulse rate tobe adapted to the droplets. Arobust design and the correctchoice of materials allow useeven at high temperatures.

LLechler nozzles for
gas denitrification are
the result of many
years of research and
development work.
Taking our specialist
knowledge from nozzle
technology as the
basis, this has seen the
development of special
solutions for use in
SNCR and SCR plants.
State-of-the-art design,
simulation and
measuring technology
ensures in advance
that the results will
meet your requirements
exactly.
Automated production
processes guarantee
maximum precision.
Lechler twin-fluid nozzles forSCR plants operate on theprinciple of a newly developedatomization principle for whichthe patent is pending. This allows very fine dropletspectrums and extremelyshort evaporation paths to berealised together with verygood controllability of the flowrate.
Cluster heads designed spe-cially for these nozzles allowmultiplication of the flow ratesand adaptation of the spraypattern to the requirements atthe injection location, e.g.upstream or downstream ofstatic mixers.

Lechler nozzle lances tai-lored exactly to your tasks
Lechler nozzle lances tailoredexactly to your tasks ensureoptimum placement andalignment of the spray patternin the flue gas duct. They aretherefore adapted precisely tothe particular denitrificationprocess and the individuallocal requirements – anotherreason for the high functionalreliability of the
Lechler technology. In practice, different design variants and special accessory parts often openup completely new possibilities. The following area few examples of this:
n Protective tubes with barrier air connection.
n Assembly connectingpieces with flange
connection for sealing intothe flue gas duct.
n Compensators for equalising different elongations.
n Adjustable lance length.
n Accessory sets for the media connection.

Pump and regulating unitsround off the program
Only when all components areoptimally tailored to eachother can a system make fulluse of its potential. That's whyLechler pump and regulatingunits are tailored very precisely to the process-specific requirements and thefunction of the nozzle lances.Preassembled, tested unitswith defined interfaces minimise the amount of installation and commissioningwork for you.
Ammonia water or urea solutions can be used withLechler pump and regulatingunits.
Many system variants, for example the distribution andexact dosing in various injection levels or taking into account special characteristicsof the plant, are possible. Consult our experts.
