The technical field is post-combustion noxious emissions reduction. A post-combustion apparatus 100 mixes noxious gases with a post-combustion gas fuel that burns in air at least at 1950 C., more preferably greater than 2,000 C. in a chamber that mixes the gases 330 and then ignites them on entry into a combustion expansion chamber 360 with a larger sectional surface area ensuring that there is no constriction of the exhaust system from that point in the process to avoid back-pressure. A collection vessel 460, typically using a magnet and water trap is also provided that collects particulate and other magnetic and soluble matter from the exhaust stream.

A nozzle lance for exhaust gas treatment, a combustion plant with nozzle lances for exhaust gas treatment, and a method for exhaust gas treatment in a combustion plant are proposed, whereby an added fluid can be mixed in with the active fluid in or immediately in front of the nozzle lance.

A denitrator removes nitrogen oxide in a flue gas generated from a combustion furnace by injecting a reducing agent into the flue gas. The denitrator includes a housing disposed above the combustion furnace. The housing includes a discharge port for the flue gas at one end of the housing. A cross-sectional area of flow of the flue gas gradually increases toward the discharge port. The housing gathers and guides the flue gas to the discharge port. The denitrator injects the reducing agent in another end of the housing.

An air pollution control system includes a denitration device that removes nitrogen oxide in flue gas from a boiler; a heat transfer tube for recovering part of heat of the flue gas after denitration; a precipitator that removes soot and dust in the flue gas after heat recovery; a desulfurization device that removes sulfur oxide in the flue gas discharged from the precipitator; a heat transfer tube for heating the flue gas discharged from the desulfurization device; a circulation pump that circulates a heat medium between the heat transfer tubes; a heat medium heater provided to the circulation pipe to heat the heat medium; and a control device that controls the heat medium heater based on an ammonia concentration at an outlet of the denitration device. The control device causes the heat medium heater to heat the heat medium when the ammonia concentration is higher than a certain value.

The present invention relates generally to the field of emission control equipment for boilers, heaters, kilns, or other flue gas-, or combustion gas-, generating devices (e.g., those located at power plants, processing plants, etc.) and, in particular to a new and useful method and apparatus for capturing, oxidizing, lowering the concentration and/or level of, and/or eliminating mercury present in any flue gas and/or combustion gas stream. In one embodiment, the method and/or apparatus of the present invention is applied to boilers, heaters, kilns, or other flue gas-, or combustion gas-, generating devices that have connected thereto at least one type of flue gas, or combustion gas, scrubber device (i.e., a wet scrubber or a dry scrubber).

A lithographic apparatus includes a support table and a gas extraction system. The gas extraction system is configured to extract gas from a gap between the base surface of the support table and a substrate through at least one gas extraction opening when the substrate is being lowered onto the support table. The lithographic apparatus is configured such that gas is extracted from the gap at a first loading flow rate when the distance between the substrate and the support plane is greater than a threshold distance and gas is extracted from the gap at a second loading flow rate when the distance between the substrate and the support plane is less than the threshold distance, wherein the second loading flow rate is lower than the first loading flow rate.
