Babcock Noell supplies first DeNOx systems to Israel

Würzburg, 09. Feb. 2010

On 21 January 2010 Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) handed over the first DeNOx systems supplied to Israel to its customer Haifa Oil-Refineries Ltd. (ORL) at a special ceremony. These green nitrogen removal systems use the innovative SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) process which removes nitrogen by means of catalytic separation. The order value for the Würzburg-based company which specializes in the field of environmental technologies amounted to EUR 4.2 million. The package of goods and services included basic engineering as well as the delivery of the two reactors, the catalyst modules, the flue gas dampers, the expansion joints, the ammonia preparation system, the flue gas analyzers and the sonic horns required to clean the catalyst. Working with the customer, it was possible to optimize both systems within one month by means of trials and then hand them over for commercial operation. Each of the two tanks is designed for a maximum flue gas volume of 200,000 Nm³/h with 850 mg/Nm³ NOx (nitrogen oxides). The maximum NOx value in the clean gas of 150 mg/Nm³ required by the customer can be satisfied with ease by the nitrogen removal system. The DeNOx reactors are each fitted with one layer of catalysts. Instead of conventional soot blowers, much more economical sonic horns were used in the reactors as a result of plans to change the units from heavy oil to Egyptian natural gas in 2010.
