levels are discussed in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 presents control costs and cost effectiveness for each control technique. <strong>Environmental</strong> and energy impacts associated with the use of NO x control techniques are discussed in Chapter 7. 1-2
CHAPTER 2 SUMMARY This chapter presents a summary of the information contained in this document. Section 2.1 presents a summary of uncontrolled NO emission levels <strong>from</strong> different types of cement kilns. x Section 2.2 presents a summary of NO emission control x technologies and NO emission reductions for these technologies. x Section 2.3 presents a summary of the capital and operating costs as well as the cost effectiveness of NO control technologies and x Section 2.4 provides a summary of the impacts of these technologies. 2.1 UNCONTROLLED NO EMISSIONS x In cement manufacturing, conditions favorable for formation of nitrogen oxides (NO ) are reached routinely because of high x process temperatures. Essentially all NO emissions associated x with cement manufacturing are generated in cement kilns. In cement kilns, NO emissions are formed during fuel x combustion by two primary mechanisms: ! Oxidation of molecular nitrogen present in the combustion air which is termed thermal NO x formation, and ! Oxidation of nitrogen compounds present in the fuel which is termed fuel NO x formation. Often the raw material feed to the kiln may also contain a significant amount of nitrogen compounds which may lead to feed NO x formation similar to fuel NO x formation. Because of the high 2-1
