Selective Catalytic Reduction to low NOx Emissions with Ecocube


Nitrogen oxides are chemical oxides produced during combustion at high temperatures. Sources of nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx emissions) include commercial as well as industrial sources. This includes combustion sources like power plants, boilers, furnaces and automobiles.

Nox emissions cause a wide variety of environmental and health impacts, such as acid rain, deterioration of water quality, global warming and ground level ozone. Some of the harmful health effects include wheezing and breathing difficulties, inflammation on the skin, decreased visibility, triggered asthma or allergies in adults as well as children. Nox emissions are a serious health risk especially if you are staying in high congestion areas.

Many industries and manufacturers have become focussed on nitrogen oxide reduction in their operations. This not just helps to enhance quality of outdoor air around their operations, but also improves health of workers and people living in nearby areas. Strict environmental and health protection restrictions challenge manufacturers and industries to achieve their target in NOx reduction. One of the best ways to reduce Nox reduction is by using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). SCR works by transforming harmful exhaust gases in to harmless ones. The nitrogen oxides are converted in to nitrogen and water by using a reducing agent like ammonia or urea. This reaction is carried out in the presence of a suitable catalyst. This technology is one of the most cost-efficient, fuel-efficient and proven technology for nitrogen reduction.

Safety Power provides a perfect solution for today's regulatory environment. ecoCUBE by Safety Power is designed to reduce nitogen oxide, carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons and particulate matter by using  selective catalytic reduction technology. The modular design of ecoCUBE uses Computational Fluid Dynamics to incorporate high NOx removal activity and high mechanical and thermal performance. With its space saving design, it can accommodate engines in the size range of 500kW to 20mW. Provided with an in-built silencing system, it can be mounted indoors, outdoors or floor/ceiling.
