Sourcebook: NOx control technology data. Final report

The report, a compilation of available information on the control of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from stationary sources, is provided to assist new source permitting activities by regulatory agencies. The sources covered are combustion turbines, internal combustion engines, non-utility boilers and heaters, and waste incinerators. The report discusses the background of NOx formation in the combustion process and major NOx sources, and describes processes for NOx control. The current status of NOx control technology is discussed, and applications to meet permitting requirements are detailed. Permitted NOx emission levels are summarized by combustion source, fuel type, and control technology. Documentation includes references and contacts for further information.
