Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

Technology for power stations, Energy-from-Waste plants, and industrial plants

ANDRITZ Clean Air Technologies was among the first companies in Europe to successfully employ Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. The company now has numerous references in the DeNOx/SCR sector, which encompass a variety of applications. In addition to use in power plants (high dust configuration), we also have successfully employed selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology for waste incineration and other industrial processes.

DeNOx systems, selective catalytic reduction

Thanks to our wide-ranging expertise we are capable of customizing operational parameters, catalyst geometry and composition as well as the most suitable reagent for each application.

DeNOx/SCR systems are used in the following plants:

Power plants

  • Gas-fired
  • Oil-fired
  • Coal-fired
  • Biomass-fired

Energy-from-Waste plants

  • Household waste
  • Hazardous waste
  • Hospital waste

Industrial plants

The location of the DeNOx/SCR system within the flue gas cleaning process depends on the type of fuel involved. The tail-end configuration has proved to be highly effective in Energy-from-Waste and biomass-fired plants. The active centers of the catalyst are only harmed by a minimum of catalyst poisons, which results in a longer lifetime.

Due to the use of a reheating system, the investment and operating costs are higher for the tail-end configuration which is therefore mainly used in industrial applications.

The high dust configuration is preferred for power plants (coal, gas, oil), as the costs for reheating can be avoided. ANDRITZ Clean Air Technologies has an extensive database concerning catalyst life for a variety of fuels. Consequently, we are able to optimize and minimize the catalyst volume for every application.


ANDRITZ delivers environmentally friendly flue gas cleaning solutions, tailored to the needs of our clients and their operating environments. We are an environmental technology pioneer with a history in clean air technologies spanning 30+ years. Our products range from flue gas scrubbers and SCRs for power stations to complex flue gas cleaning systems for waste-to-energy and industrial plants. Use of cutting-edge engineering tools and global R&D collaboration with a network of recognized partners and universities are the foundations of our work. Early identification of each client’s needs help us make a long-term contribution to clean air and a clean environment.
