Process for reducing emissions in the operation of stationary internal-combustion engines

TLDR
In this paper, a two-stage process is provided in which a catalytic reduction stage (30) for the substantial removal of the nitrogen oxides, with the addition of ammonia (50), and an additional catalytic oxidation stage (40) in which the residual oxygen present in the prepurified waste gas is utilised for oxidation of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and excess ammonia, are connected in series.
Abstract
In order to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the operation of stationary internal-combustion engines having excess air coefficients greater than 1, a two-stage process is provided in which a catalytic reduction stage (30) for the substantial removal of the nitrogen oxides, with the addition of ammonia (50), and a catalytic oxidation stage (40) in which the residual oxygen present in the prepurified waste gas is utilised for oxidation of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and excess ammonia, are connected in series. Any leakage of ammonia from the first catalytic stage is decreased by the following oxidation step. A reduction in the amount of the pollutant components comprising nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide is achieved at virtually all excess air coefficients greater than 1.
