A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, when designed for a simple cycle turbine, presents a significant calculation and modeling challenge due to its compact design and stringent performance requirements. In particular, uniform flue gas velocity profiles, required by environmental catalysts installed in the ductwork of this system, must be met. Custom flow devices optimized for the turbine. SCR system and ductwork are required. Cold flow and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling are employed to design flow devices that provide adequate velocity profiles. The purpose of this paper is to present (1) steps taken to optimize the ductwork internals and (2) measured and calculated velocity profiles.
