Dosing Control of Urea in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to enhance the reduction of Nitrogen oxides
Abstract: Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an effective aftertreatment technique designed to comply with rigorous emission criteria established by global regulatory authorities for the elimination of nitrogen oxides from exhaust streams. Since NOx and ammonia reagents are poisonous and an excess of either is therefore very undesired, it poses an intriguing control problem, particularly at high conversion. SCR systems must reduce NOx emissions as much as possible and reduce the possibility …
