Abstract
Selective catalytic reduction as one of the secondary NOx control technologies is widely used in industrial sources including coal-fired power plants and large boilers. The performance of an SCR-DeNOx system is sensitive to the installment of its components such as turning vanes and hybrid grids. In this work, three-dimensional CFD simulations are carried out to analyze the breakage failure of an SCR-DeNOx system for a certain 350MW coal-fired power plant. Research results are consistent with the phenomena that occur in the industrial application. It reveals that the breakage failure in the industrial application is likely to be caused by the inappropriate installation of the turning vane 3 locating closest to the catalyst, especially the angle of the turning vane 3. The analysis further shows that the lifetime or the breakage of the catalyst layers depends highly on the gas velocity, the fly ash distribution and its particle velocity.
