SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) NOx Removal System

When exposed to the strong ultraviolet rays of the sun, nitrogen oxides (NOx) contained in the exhaust gas emitted from the chimneys of factories and power plants generate photochemical oxidants and PM2.5 particles. These substances are harmful to humans and plants. Furthermore, NOx causes a chemical reaction in the atmosphere to become nitric acid. Nitric acid oxidizes lakes, rivers and soil. It also causes acid rain, which adversely affects plants and organisms. Hitachi Zosen provides denitration catalysts and denitration systems that decompose this NOx by reacting it with ammonia to make it harmless. By doing so, we contribute to the reduction of air pollution.

Major products

Denitration system

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are contained in combustion gas emitted from fixed facilities such as thermal power plants, refuse incineration power plants, and chemical plants, and from marine diesel engines. We react NOx with ammonia to decompose them into nitrogen and water, thus making them harmless and reducing NOx emissions.

System components

The denitration system consists of a NOx-removal catalyst, denitration reactor, ammonia injection system, ammonia dilution system, and ammonia storage and supply tanks.

NOx-removal catalysts

NOXNON800

Hitachi Zosen started developing the denitration catalyst in 1969 and commercialized it in 1973. We made various improvements to realize our current product NOXNON 800, which we have supplied since 2016. We supply NOXNON800 not only in Japan but also in the United States, China, and other parts of the world.
