Abstract

The emission of Nitrogen Oxides is extremely harmful to the environment. Power plants play a large role in the production of Nitrogen Oxides and as such their emission levels are highly regulated. Because of this, we were tasked with creating a model of the emissions created when burning syngas for the power plants to use. To do this we used a high pressure chamber to simulate the conditions of a power plant. We burned varying types of syngas in the pressure chamber. As the syngas burned, we collected the emissions and analyzed them to create our model. My job was to create the temperature controller and the pressure reader to use in the chamber, which was successful.
