RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Until the late 1980’s, high efficiency total NOx
(NO+NO2) wet scrubbing was not available commercially.The stability and relative insolubility of the NOcomponent of NOx was the reason. Duall systems engineers recognized this problem and designed a super
efficient NO oxidation system to provide the market place with a total NOx wet scrubbing process. Currently, the competitive nature of the market has made better operating efficiency for this type system a requirement.
Again, Duall has responded.

Duall, through research and development with the University of Michigan Chemical Engineering Department, has developed a unique, high efficiency wet oxidation/reduction approach to control your NOx emissions. Refining and updating this process has led to
a new generation of total NOx scrubbers for the chemical process industry.

The table below is a sample of independent third party test results, demonstrating the incredible oxidation efficiency of NO to NO2 in a ßeta NOx 2000™ system, as well as simultaneous destruction of SO2.

Testing occurred in August of 1995. Scrubber tested was operating at 45,000 ACFM at essentially ambient conditions. Test methods using certified gas standards were: USEPA 7 for NO and USEPA 6 for SO2. A chemilluminescent analyzer was the analytical device.
