United States Environmental Protection Agency Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 Research and Development EPA/600/SR-92/093 December 1993 EPA Project Summary Proceedings: 1991 Joint Symposium on Stationary Combustion NO,. Control Carolee DeWitt The 1991 Joint Symposium on Sta- tionary Combustion NOX Control was held March 25-28,1991, in Washington, DC. This symposium, jointly sponsored by the Electric Power Research Insti- tute (EPR1) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was the sixth in a biennial series devoted to the in- ternational exchange of information re- garding recent technological and regu- latory developments pertaining to sta- tionary combustion nitrogen oxides (NO*) control. Topics discussed in- cluded the significant increase in ac- tive full-scale retrofit demonstrations of low-NOx combustion systems in the U.S. and abroad over the past 2 years; full-scale operating experience in Eu- rope with selective catalytic reduction (SCR); pilot- and bench-scale SCR in- vestigations in the U.S.; increased at- tention on selective noncatalytic reduc- tion (SNCR) in the U.S.; and NOX con- trols for oil- and gas-fired boilers. This Project Summary was developed by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory, Research Tri- angle Park, NC, to announce key find- ings of the research project that is fully documented in a separate report of the same title (see Project Report ordering information at back). The Symposium The 4-day meeting was attended by approximately 500 individuals from 14 na- tions. Sixty-six papers were presented by EPRI and EPA staff members, domestic and foreign utility companies, federal and state government agencies, research and development organizations, equipment vendors from the U.S. and abroad, and university representatives. The Proceedings are compiled in three volumes. Volume 1 contains papers from: • Session 1: Background • Session 2: Large Scale Coal Com- bustion I • Session 3: Large Scale Coal Com- bustion II Volume 2 contains papers from: • Session 4A: Combustion NOX Devel- opments I • Session 4B: Large Scale SCR Appli- cations • Session 5A: Post Combustion Devel- opments I • Session 5B: Industrial/Combustion Turbines on NOX Con- trol Volume 3 contains papers from: • Session 6A: Post Combustion Devel- opments II • Session 6B: Combustion NOX Devel- opments II • Session 7A: New Developments I • Session 7B: New Developments II • Session 8: Oil/Gas Combustion Ap- plications An appendix in Volume 3 lists sympo- sium attendees.
