This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Enrique Bosch on advanced DeNOx technologies for minimizing costs in combustion facilities. It discusses increasingly stringent NOx emission standards in India, combustion optimization systems that can reduce NOx emissions by 20-30% with low capital costs, and flexible combustion designs that improve boiler efficiency and flexibility while reducing NOx. It also presents an advanced selective non-catalytic reduction technique and case studies demonstrating over 50% NOx reduction. Finally, it analyzes the relative capital and operating costs of different NOx control technologies to meet different regulatory limits.
