CCA to License ARIS NOx Reduction Technology from Clean Diesel Technologies |
Simplified SCR Design to Enable Stationary Power Generation & Marine Engines to Meet Stringent Emission Compliance Levels |
MONROE, CONNECTICUT, Oct. 5 -/E-Wire/--
Combustion Components Associates (CCA), a company that develops, manufactures and markets air pollution control technologies announced today that it has acquired licenses for the ARIS NOx reduction technology for stationary power generation engines from Clean Diesel Technologies (CDT). The license gives CCA the marketing rights to the ARIS NOx reduction technology in North, Central and South America. The ARIS technology is a urea-based SCR system for NOx emission control from stationary engines including marine and railroad engines. This license follows CCA's existing licensing arrangement with CDT for the ELIM-NOx SCR system for NOx emissions reduction from heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

Making the announcement, R. Gifford Broderick, President, CCA said "Under this agreement, CCA will sell complete systems for NOx control from stationary engines using the urea SCR process. The ARIS NOx reduction technology has been evaluated by us to be the most cost-effective urea SCR system, and its performance has been proven in over 100 commercial installations in the US and Japan. We shall offer the technology with proprietary advancements for new and retrofit stationary engines. This product line complements CCA's existing business of controlling NOx emissions from large utility boilers through burner modifications, overfire air systems, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and other innovative NOx control technologies using urea." Regulations in several ozone non-attainment regions of the country such as New York, Houston-Galveston, Dallas-Fort Worth and Southern California require new and existing stationary engines operating in excess of a limited number of hours to install NOx emission controls or face curtailment in hours of operation. CCA's ARIS SCR system is designed to overcome this, enabling stationary engines to be used for prime power generation without operating restrictions.
|
The CCA ARIS SCR system reduces NOx emissions in diesel or lean burn natural gas engines by metering precise amounts of urea - a safe non-hazardous reagent into the engine's exhaust stream. When injected into the exhaust stream, urea decomposes to ammonia and reacts with oxides of nitrogen (NOx) across a catalyst (located downstream of the injection point) to reduce NOx. It is an integrated system with only 4 components that need to be installed. These include a tank (on which the ECU, pump, filter, level and back pressure sensors are mounted), injector, catalyst housing, and wiring harness.
|
In addition to its cost-effectiveness, performance efficiencies, fuel economy and simplified controls, a unique feature of CCA's ARIS SCR system is the proprietary 'self-learn' monitoring feature. This 'self-learn' feature uses sensors to record various engine parameters such as NOx and exhaust temperature. The 'self-learn feature' allows CCA to obtain the data to program the ECU for the injection strategy during system design itself, which would simplify system start-up by customers.
