Reducing N2O emissions from nitric acid and caprolactam units is one of the most cost-effective ways to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. TOPSOE™’s tertiary solution uses TertiNOx™ catalysts to reduce N2O emissions by up to 99% while delivering strong NOx removal to support compliance with NOx regulations.
Installed in the tail gas downstream of the adsorption tower, TertiNOx™ helps unlock significant value from reduced CO2 emissions, while improving day-to-day operations.
Key benefits include:
Low pressure drop.
Combined N2O and NOx removal.
Higher production throughput.
Increased steam production.
Higher expander duty.
TertiNOx™ is based on a monolith catalyst design. Many competing tertiary solutions rely on pellet catalysts, which often require more complex reactor designs to manage pressure drop.
With TOPSOE™’s monolith technology, the system stays simple and compact. You can install the monolith in an existing reactor or reduce footprint with a smaller reactor design without compromising performance.
Together, we help you cut emissions, simplify operations and capture more value from every ton produced.
