Coal Catalyst Applications

Cormetech designs and manufactures catalysts unique to coal-fired applications that ensure long-life and highly effective catalyst performance. We offer guarantees tailored to the individual client requirements.

High NO_x Removal
Cormetech catalysts are ideal for a variety of flue gas properties, particulate characteristics and temperature ranges accommodating both high and low dust applications for a range of coal types. Our catalyst composition minimizes deactivation caused by poisons such as arsenic and calcium oxide deposits. Our integrated design of the SCR catalyst and its modular frame maximizes NO_x reduction and balance of plant operations.

Low SO₂ Conversion
SO₃ mitigation is a growing need among coal-fired power plants. A challenge faced by several power plants is to lower SO₂ conversion, while maintaining high NO_x reduction levels and low ammonia slip. In order to meet this need, we have developed a breakthrough low SO₂ conversion catalyst that utilizes our unique extrusion expertise, product and materials know-how and extensive field experience of catalyst technology. The low SO₂ conversion catalyst is optimized to reduce volume, pressure drop and SO₂ oxidation. This low SO₂ conversion is achieved due to advanced features such as:

• Greater open area
• Thinner catalyst walls
• Excellent material utilization
• Improved composition and geometry for catalyst strength
