The DeCONOx process combines regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO or RNV) with a low-dust selective catalytic reduction (SCR): two proven technologies in a single system that fulfil two totally different tasks in exhaust gas purification. This combination makes it possible to reduce organic carbon compounds and carbon monoxide. The installation of catalysts also reduces the NOX concentration. The demand for energy in the afterburning is mainly or entirely covered by the fuels – CO, VOCs – contained in the flue gas, thus reducing the energy demand compared to pure low-dust SCR. The system will run autothermally with around 6500 mg/Nm³ CO in the flue gas.

Rebecca recently started working for Palladian Publications in September and is looking forward to discovering all there is to know about the cement industry through her role as Assistant Editor on World Cement.
She graduated from the University of Oxford in 2015 with an MSt in Classical Archaeology, although she spent too much of her time doing sport, from rowing to cheerleading.
She is now living in Woking and enjoys reading, writing, travel and pretending she has the ability to cook.
