Description

Abu Qir, Egypt

Catalytic N2O destruction project in the tail gas of the Nitric Acid Plant of Abu Qir Fertilizer Co.

The Project Activity includes development, design, engineering, procurement, finance, construction, operation and maintenance of a system for catalytic reduction of N2O. The EnviNOx® process used in the Abu Qir II nitric acid plant is based on the catalytic reduction of NOx (NO and NO2) with ammonia (NH3) and of nitrous oxide (N2O) with a hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon used is natural gas of which the main constituent is methane (CH4). The reactions take place over two iron zeolite catalyst beds.
