NOx Dispatching in Plant Utility Systems Using Existing Tools
Abstract
Localized NOx reduction during Ozone Alerts
is a problem of increasing importance to process
industries in and around heavily industrialized
areas. New regulations by local and federal
agencies are being developed, and many utilities
are beginning to offer special tariffs to replace
loss of self generated power due to mandatory
production curtailments. Industrial plant
operators have to make instantaneous decisions
regarding which tariff to choose, which boilers/
turbines to operate and at what rate, and worry
about NOx emissions besides. Operating in such an
environment is an increasingly difficult task.
Economic dispatching of plant utility
systems is commonly done by the gas and electric
power companies and software tools for such
dispatching already exist even at the industrial
plant level. The purpose of this paper is to
show that these existing tools can be easily
adapted for NOx dispatching. This is illustrated
with an hypothetical example.
