2. HOW CAN WE AVOID AMMONIA?
The Wahlco U2A® technology enables the production of ammonia on demand for the DeNOx processes by converting urea to ammonia, thus avoiding transport and storing ammonia.
Urea to Ammonia Hydrolysis
Why Urea Hydrolysis?
- Stable
- Non-volatile
- Environmentally benign material
- Safely transported, stored and handled
- Readily available in solid form, prill and granular
- Essentially 100% conversion
- Safer and generally lower operating costs than aqueous ammonia
The Wahlco U2A® Urea to Ammonia system offers a process driven supply of ammonia eliminating the dangers and costs associated with the transport and bulk storage of ammonia on site. A readily available commodity, Urea is a non-toxic, stable, non-flammable, and not subject to regulations governing toxic or hazardous materials.
- Wahlco's urea-based ammonia systems ELIMINATE the possibility of transportation related ammonia spills, liability, and cost.
- Aqueous ammonia is generally more expensive to operate than a urea based ammonia system. Based on capital cost 5 years operating cost are nearly 20% higher than those of the equivalent urea based systems.
- Wahlco's urea-based ammonia systems are safe, reliable and cost effective.
