Inputs for configuring the Hot-Side SCR NOx control technology are entered on the Config parameter screen. The following parameter is available:
•Catalyst Replacement Scheme: Catalyst is installed in the SCR as a series of layers. These activity or effectiveness of these layers decreases with time due to fouling and poisoning. The layers are replaced with clean layers on a regular basis in one of two ways: all at once or one layer at time (staggered). The selection of the replacement scheme involves trade-offs between capital and annual costs via the initial catalyst requirement and the replacement interval. More specifically:
•Each: (This is the default.) Individual Layers. Replacing individual layers sequentially, rather than simultaneously, increases the effective catalyst life for a given volume of catalyst, decreasing the replacement interval. This reduces the O&M cost relative to simultaneous replacement.
•All: All Layers. Simultaneous replacement may lead to a smaller initial catalyst volume to achieve the same design activity as a sequential replacement scheme. This reduces the capital cost but increases the O&M cost.
