Abstract:

In order to improve the NOx removal rate of a Urea-SCR system, a three-dimensional numerical model of a 9.7 MW natural gas internal combustion engine's Urea-SCR system was established. The effects of the static mixer, porous plate in the reactor on flow field, NH3 conversion rate and NH3 mole fraction distribution were studied. Simulation results show that, the farther the injection location is from the first-layer catalyst, the higher the NH3 conversion rate is and the more evenly the NH3 distributes. A baffle static mixer will hamper the uniformity of flow velocity at the inlet of the first layer catalyst,which is not conducive to the transformation and mixing of NH3. The porous plates arrangement in the diffuser can effectively improve the uniformity of the flow field in front of the inlet of the first layer catalyst and improve the conversion of NH3.However,it is not conducive to the mixing of NH3. Laying porous media on the standby layer of catalyst, an ideal conversion rate and decent NH3 uniformity can be obtained.
