| The performance of nitric oxide (NOx) removal processes depends on adding the reducing agent in the appropriate stoichiometric ratio. Therefore, a fast, close-to-the-process online analysis and control of the NH3 concentration in the flue gas after a NOx removal plant is essential for increasing the efficiency of the nitric oxides removal process. The laser diode spectrometer LDS 3000 is perfectly suited for this job because it gives accurate readings obtained directly in hot flue gases. more |
