Introduction
The ammonia (NH3) gas is injected to remove the NOx and thus reduce the NOx concentration in the stack flue gas.
With conventional NH3 analyzers that perform measurements indirectly, NH3 concentrations are obtained through a sampling system. Therefore, there are problems with the maintenance and running costs of the sampling system, and time delays in measurement. The TDLS8000 Laser Analyzer is the solution to all these problems.
Expected Benefits
- Eliminates the need for sampling and reduces the maintenance and running costs of the sampling system
- High-speed response, possible to apply measurement results to control the NH3 injection volume, and reduction and optimization of the NH3 injection volume
- Continuous monitoring, NH3 emission volume monitoring, and environmentally friendly
- Extends the service life of NOx removal equipment and reduces the ammonium sulfate precipitation of the air heater
Process Overview
The NH3 gas is injected to remove the NOx and thus reduce the NOx concentration in the stack flue gas, as well as to increase the dust collection efficiency of the dust collector (ESP) and prevent erosion. Excess NH3 injection increases the running cost and the residual NH3 amount, resulting in the generation of a foul odor. Therefore, the NH3 concentration in the stack flue gas is measured, controlled, and monitored.
Example of Boiler Flue Gas, NOx Removal Process (Oil and Gas Fuels)
Solution Details
As compared with conventional NH3 analyzers that perform measurements through a sampling system, the TDLS8000 is able to measure the NH3 concentrations in furnaces directly and thus reduce the maintenance and running costs.
Field Data
Changes in NH3 Injection Volume and Measured Values (Installation Point A / Without NOx Removal Equipment)
The TDLS responds to NH3 injection volume changes at high speed and thus is able to control and monitor the optimum NH3 injection volume.

Chemical
Chemical plants rely on continuous and batch production processes, each posing different requirements for a control system. A continuous process calls for a robust and stable control system that will not fail and cause the shutdown of a production line, whereas the emphasis with a batch process is on having a control system that allows great flexibility in making adjustments to formulas, procedures, and the like. Both kinds of systems need to be managed in available quality history of product, and to be able to execute non-routine operations. With its extensive product portfolio, experienced systems engineers, and global sales and service network, Yokogawa has a solution for every plant process.
