Description

TAPPI TIP 0416-25 – Nitrogen oxide emissions control from biomass and kraft recovery boilers in the pulp and paper industry

This TIP provides basic information on nitrogen oxide (NO_x) formation and control technologies. After years of limited interest in applying NO_x regulations on industrial boilers that fire biomass derived fuel (hog fuel, bark, wood chips, saw dust, sander dust, railroad ties, pulp mill clarifier sludges, construction and demolition debris, and red and black pulping liquors), regulators in some states are establishing NO_x emissions limits on boilers that are strict enough to impact boiler operations. Informed decisions on fuel usage, operating parameters, NO_x control technology implementation, and impact on other pollutant generation will be needed. This TIP offers background information to help engineers, operating staff, and managers understand the issues and the options that are available to meet compliance requirements.
