The process is to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen gas (N2) and water (H2O) with the addition of a catalyst. Ammonia from urea solution reacts with NOx from the exhaust emission to reduce the harmful substances from combustion diesel engine. For a long time, the method has been applied in other industries, such as incinerators and power plants, to treat flue gas. In recent years, SCR was brought into automobile diesel engine to control exhaust and achieve emission standards set by the European Union and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). |
