Laval Nozzle Lances

Special twin-fluid nozzles for DeNOx applications.

In DeNOx applications with SNCR processes, small Laval nozzles are usually used. These nozzles are characterized by a high discharge velocity, enabling the optimum droplet spectrum to be introduced into the reactor with a great penetration depth. Our research has shown that the discharge velocity has a greater effect on the denitrification process. Moreover, these nozzles without internals are extremely insensitive to clogging and can be precisely controlled.

Properties

Small spray angle
Small spray angle15°, suitable for small cross-sections and horizontal ducts

In addition to the optimum temperature, parameters such as droplet size and droplet velocity are also of crucial importance for the denitrification reaction. Only with the appropriate nozzle and the right control concept, droplets can penetrate deep enough into the flue gas flow to ensure optimum distribution of the reducing agent.
