GEA has received an order from thomas zement for a turnkey plant for the reduction of NOX in flue gas.
The order comprises two new reactors for selective catalytic reduction (SCR), including the handling of flue gas transport by induced draft (ID) fans and integration into the Erwitte production site. The contract also includes engineering services and the supply, installation, and commissioning of steel structures, SCR catalysts, ID fans, heating circuits, duct connection, and adaption of NH3 injection from existing storage tanks. Production can continue during the installation of the SCR unit. Another very important advantage for the customer was the fact that only a short changeover time was required.
With this investment, thomas zement is supplementing its existing non-catalytic technology. After installation, this will create one of the most environmentally friendly cement production plants in Europe.
