Air Pollution Control

Fuel Tech's APC technologies are installed worldwide on over 640 combustion units, including utility, industrial and municipal solid waste applications. Products include customized NO_x control systems, which can reduce emissions from 30% - 85%, and proprietary urea-to-ammonia conversion technology, which can provide safe reagent for use in selective catalytic reduction systems.

Fuel Tech, a leader in the air pollution control (APC) business, has developed a variety of patented, state-of-the-art proprietary technologies that are focused on multi-pollutant control, specifically targeting the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) which are created from a variety of combustion sources utilizing a wide variety of fuel inputs. These technologies are detailed within the Air Pollution Control section of our website.

Fuel Tech's approach is to provide systems designed to achieve high levels of performance to meet customer expectations. Anticipated performance ranges are noted on each product page. Actual NO_x emission reduction results will vary depending on the combustion unit design, specific operating characteristics, and the starting NO_x emission levels of the combustion unit involved.

As a key participant in the APC business, Fuel Tech is a member of the following organizations:

• The Institute of Clean Air Companies (ICAC)
• Council of Industrial Boiler Owners (CIBO)
• American Coal Council (ACC)
