A method for the control of nitrogen oxides content in the combustion fumes of a thermal power plant is disclosed; the method comprises the on-site production of ammonia by the steps of: electrolysis of water as a source of hydrogen; separation of air as a source of nitrogen, formation of a make-up gas and synthesis of ammonia in a suitable synthesis loop; said on-site produced ammonia, or a solution thereof, is used for a process of reduction of nitrogen oxides in the combustion fumes.

Devices, systems, facilities, and methods for post combustion capture of emissions from a natural gas generator used to power a data center disclosed herein. The facility includes a process for capturing and sequestering CO.sub.2 from a post combustion capture of the natural gas generator utilizing the heat from the flue gas and from the data center. The CO.sub.2 rich streams from the post combustion capture system are sent to sequestration of some form via a sequestration compressor, thereby reducing the overall emissions from the facility.

A flue gas additive is provided that includes both a nitrogenous component to reduce gas phase nitrogen oxides and a halogen-containing component to oxidize gas phase elemental mercury.

A method for removing noxious, hazardous, toxic, mutagenic, and/or carcinogenic compounds and/or precursor compounds from a comingled gas, liquid, and/or solid stream is described. In one embodiment, the method is used to prepare the stream for feeding to an oxidizer, such as a thermal oxidizer, to reduce the amount of particulate matter discharged by the oxidizer and includes passing the stream through an ambient or chilled temperature condenser followed by an optional gas/solid separator, and one or more gas scrubbers prior to feeding to the oxidizer.

A method and a boiler for decreasing the amount of nitrogen oxides in flue gases of a boiler, which flue gases are generated in the combustion of fuels and air. The boiler has a water circulation system comprising superheaters and a furnace for combustion of fuel and for generating flue gases that contain nitrogen oxides, which flue gases mainly flow upwards in the furnace and further to the superheater zone and via other heat recovery surfaces of the boiler out of the boiler, and a nitrogen oxides reducing agent is introduced into the flue gases. The nitrogen oxides reducing agent is introduced into the flue gases prior to the superheater zone, after the temperature of the flue gases is decreased by at least one heat exchanger that is located upstream of the nose of the boiler and upstream of the introduction of the nitrogen oxides reducing agent.

The invention relates to an aeration system for seawater oxidation in flue gas purification devices, with at least one tubular diffuser (TD), covered by at least two perforated membranes (20), which are positioned one after the other and at a distance to each other in a direction of the central longitudinal axis (A) of the diffuser (TD) as well as at least one support member (SP), which encircles a membrane-free section (FS) of the tubular diffuser at least partially, and at least one sliding means (40), arranged between the support member (SP) and the membrane-free section (FS) of the tubular diffuser (TD).

The boiler (1) has side tubed walls (2) enclosing an inner space (3) and a device for selective non catalytic reduction (7). The device for selective non catalytic reduction (7) has a lance (8) carrying a hose (9) having at least a nozzle (10) and a hose drive mechanism (11) for driving the hose within the lance. The lance (8) protrudes into the inner space (3) from a side tubed wall (2) of the boiler (1).

A heat exchanger includes a heat recovery unit that causes a heat medium to recover heat from flue gas through first heat exchange by bringing the flue gas into contact with a fin tube; a reheater including a preheating unit configured to preheat flue gas through second heat exchange by bringing the flue gas into contact with a tube, and heating units that heat the flue gas through third heat exchange by bringing the flue gas into contact with the heat medium; and a control unit that calculates a recovered heat quantity to be recovered by the heat recovery unit from the flue gas through the first heat exchange, and that controls temperature of the heat medium after the first heat exchange within a predetermined range.

A method for improving effectiveness of a steam generator system includes providing air to an air preheater at a mass flow such that the air preheater has a cold end outlet temperature defined by the improved air preheater operating with increased heat recovery (HR) of at least 1% calculated according to the equation: HR=100%?((Tgi?TgoAdvX)/(Tgi?TgoSTD)?1). The method requires either reducing the amount of heat that flows into the air preheater from the flue gas and/or increasing the amount of heat extracted from the flue gas. The method includes mitigating SO.sub.3 in the flue gas which is discharged directly from the air preheater to a particulate removal system and then directly into a flue gas desulfurization system. The method includes extracting heat from the Flue gas to create equipment preheat and/or flue gas stack reheat air with the latter being fed to heat the flue gas prior to entering a discharge stack to raise the temperature of the flue gas to mitigate visible plume exiting and to mitigate corrosion in, the discharge stack.
