RTO-SCR collaborative system in industrial VOCs and NOx collaborative management solution

Selective catalytic reduction process diagram

Definition of Selective Catalytic Reduction

The SCR denitrification system mainly consists of SCR reactor, flue gas heating mixing system, ammonia storage and injection system, pulse soot blowing and control system, etc. The SCR reactor is the core equipment of the flue gas denitration system. It is arranged vertically, and the flue gas flows vertically downward. An air flow distribution device and a baffle are installed at the entrance to ensure smooth flue gas flow and uniform air flow distribution, creating conditions for the smooth progress of the denitration reaction. A four-layer steel welded frame is installed in the reactor to carry the catalyst that accelerates the denitrification reaction rate and provides sufficient space for the denitrification reaction.

The Necessity of RTO-SCR Collaborative Governance

Compound pollution: Most industrial processes emit VOCs and NOx at the same time

Policies are becoming stricter: the EU IED directive and China’s ultra-low emission standards require simultaneous control

Temperature matching: RTO outlet temperature (300-500℃) is highly matched with SCR optimal reaction temperature (280-400℃)

Cost economy: sharing flue and control system, reducing total investment by more than 30%

Application Case

Take the chemical industry as an example

Project background
• Nature of the enterprise: annual output of 8,000 tons of pesticide intermediates (containing chlorobenzenes and pyridine compounds)
• Original treatment process: three-tower RTO (processing air volume 150,000 Nm³/h)
• Operating status: 24-hour continuous production, 8,000 hours of annual operation
• Geographical location: Shangyu Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shaoxing, Zhejiang

core issues faced

NOx emission exceeds the standard: NOx emission after RTO operates alone is 220-280 mg/Nm³

Implement new standards: NOx ≤ 100 mg/Nm³ (special emission limit) required from 2022

Environmental protection penalty risk: facing daily fines of 100,000-1 million yuan
