Development of Advanced SCR Catalysts: Applications which fit the following description should be submitted under this funding opportunity title of Development of Advanced SCR Catalysts (DE-PS26-04NT41898-14). National NOx emissions may be capped at levels well below current emissions under proposed multi-pollutant control initiatives to address continued concerns about secondary fine particles (including those formed by reactions with NOx) and ozone. Such proposals would essentially extend the current NOx State Implementation Plan Call to twelve months and expand it to all 48 contiguous states. While selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the workhorse for the largest units of the existing generating fleet in meeting current NOx regulations, future more stringent requirements drive the need to lower the cost of this technology. Accordingly, development of advanced SCR catalyst technology that is cheaper and has fewer balance-of-plant issues than current SCR technology could offer a lower cost option for the smaller units. In order to adapt SCR technology to hard to retrofit boilers, three options are proposed for research: 1. Development of a more reactive catalyst than current commercially available catalysts that would require a smaller reactor with less catalyst and able to operate at higher gas velocities to achieve NOx removal efficiencies of 90%. 2. Development of a catalyst that would operate at low dust conditions and temperatures experienced after the particulate removal device to achieve NOx removal efficiencies of 90 percent. 3. Development of a catalyst for items (1) or (2) that has a dual function of oxidizing elemental mercury. In both cases, it is suggested to have the reducing agent to be other than an ammonia-based reagent or methane due to their balance-of-plant issues, availability, and cost. Utilization of combustion gas constituents such as carbon monoxide would be a plus. In all cases, an economic goal of developing the technology at 3/4 the levelized cost of the current state of the art SCR technology should be established. The proposal of the successful applicants should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the process conditions of a coal-fired utility boiler equipped with low NOx burners for the targeted area of catalyst development.
