  2. Selective catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reduction

    SCR systems are now the preferred method for meeting Tier 4 Final and EURO 6 diesel emissions standards for heavy trucks, cars and light commercial vehicles. As a result, emissions of NOx, particulates , and hydrocarbons have been reduced by as much as 95% when compared with pre-emissions engines.

  3. Turbine inlet air cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine_Inlet_Air_Cooling

    Other benefits may include the incrementation of steam mass flow in a combined cycle, the reduction of turbine emissions (SOx, NO x, CO 2), [21] and increase in power-to-installed volume ratio. Calculating the benefits of turbine air cooling requires a study to determine payback periods, taking into consideration several aspects like ambient ...

  4. Selective non-catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_non-catalytic...

    Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) is a method to lessen nitrogen oxide emissions in conventional power plants that burn biomass, waste and coal.The process involves injecting either ammonia or urea into the firebox of the boiler at a location where the flue gas is between 1,400 and 2,000 °F (760 and 1,090 °C) to react with the nitrogen oxides formed in the combustion process.

  5. Cetane improver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_improver

    By reducing ignition time, cetane improver additives affect engine emissions, [10] and guarantee: [11] Lower fuel consumption: as the fuel takes longer to burn completely, less fuel needs to be injected for the same performance; Quicker start-up with less smoke: easier and faster combustion affects smoke emissions, especially on the long term

  6. Staged combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion

    NO x emissions may be reduced by up to 30% using this technology. This technique is used in 13 pulverized coal-fired units on a total capacity of 2.7 GW e. [5] Via fuel staged supply, a NO x reduction rate from 50-75% is also possible, though minor temperature instabilities at the reduction zone can occur and a lower temperature is necessary ...

  7. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    The reduction of NO x emissions is one of the most important challenges for advances in vehicle technology. While diesel vehicles sold in the US since 2010 are dramatically cleaner than previous diesel vehicles, urban areas continue to seek more ways to reduce the formation of smog and ozone.

  8. Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation

    The end result of this recirculation of both exhaust gas and crankcase oil vapour is again an increase in soot production, which however is effectively countered by the DPF, which collects these and in the end will burn those unburnt particles during regeneration, converting them into CO2 and water vapour emissions, that - unlike NOx gases ...

  9. Nitrogen Oxide Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_Oxide_Protocol

    Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution Concerning the Control of Emissions of Nitrogen Oxides or Their Transboundary Fluxes, opened for signature on 31 October 1988 and entered into force on 14 February 1991, was to provide for the control or reduction of nitrogen oxides and their transboundary fluxes.
