V2O5

Honeycomb monoliths in modules, Extrudates

SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalysts for DeNOx applications on low-sulfur offgases, by selective catalytic reduction with NH₃. Developed primarily for use on nitric acid plant stacks, and offered with BASF's licensed nitric acid process technology.

O4-85

V2O5

Honeycomb monoliths in modules

Includes a wide range of honeycomb SCR catalysts, for removal of NOx by selective catalytic reduction. For DeNOx applications on flue gases from utility boilers, gas turbines, process boilers, fired heaters, etc.

O4-86

V2O5

Honeycomb monoliths in modules

Destruction of dioxins and furans in the flue gases from chemical- or municipal-waste incinerators. Typically used in conjunction with O 4-85 for removal of both NOx and dioxins in the same unit.

O4-88
