SCR CATALYSTS FOR POWER PLANTS

Denitrification for every

fuel and every

power plant design.

Ceram Austria designs plant-specific SCR catalysts for almost every fuel and power plant concept, from gas turbine power plants in simple and combined cycles to large coal- and oil-fired plants. Our SCR solutions have proven themselves in countless facilities worldwide and are based on decades of practical experience and deep process understanding.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGE

Wide fuel spectrum. Variable operation.
Constant emission levels.

Power plants today operate with a wide range of fuels and operating conditions under increasing regulatory pressure. Both require denitrification solutions that fit the specific plant.

Energy generation covers an exceptionally wide process window: natural gas, coal, oil, hydrogen, and biomass burn at different temperatures, with significantly varying dust and ash content. Gas turbines with heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) in combined-cycle operation require SCR systems with maximum performance at minimum back pressure. At the same time, the expansion of renewable energies is fundamentally changing the operation of conventional plants: power plants operate more frequently in part-load and peak-load modes, balancing grid fluctuations, and must maintain their emission levels across the entire load range. This necessitates denitrification that works reliably not only at the design point but also at part load.

Regulatory and market-driven factors

NOx limits: Emission limits for large combustion plants increase the demand for high-performance SCR systems.
Grid stability & load flexibility: The expansion of renewable generation increases the demand for flexible, low-emission peak load coverage.
Growing demand: Global electrical energy demand is rising as a result of the electrification of mobility, electric cooling and heating needs, and the transformation toward electrically powered industrial processes.

OUR SOLUTION

NOx reduction and dioxin removal in a single stage.

SCR catalysts for NOx reduction, combined with the catalytic removal of dioxins and furans, can be implemented at Ceram Austria in a single catalyst stage.

Honeycomb catalysts

Extruded honeycomb catalysts for high-dust, low-dust, and tail-end industrial applications. High NOx selectivity, specifically adapted to the exact exhaust gas and temperature profile of your project.

Too much power in the grid?

Ceram Solarstone stores excess grid energy and industrial process waste heat thermally and makes it directly usable for subsequent processes. Developed for power-to-heat applications, this ceramic heat storage unit enables efficient intermediate storage and permanently reduces the use of auxiliary fuels.
