Sulphur dioxide emissions refineries • Annual emissionRecovered sulphur • 1985 9200 tonnes (22 000 tonnes S) • 1990 5500 tonnes • 1995 1950 tonnes • 1997 (64 000 tonnes S) • 2001 1600 tonnes • 2004 1500 tonnes +64000 tonnes S
Nox emissions refineries • 1990 2800 tonnes (~90 mg/MJ) • 1995 2250 tonnes (72 mg/MJ) • 2001 1676 tonnes (50 mg/MJ) • 2004 1475 tonnes (41 mg/MJ) 50 mg/MJ=~180 mg/Nm3
Minimize NOx emissions • Energy efficiency • Maximize share of gas as fuel • Low NOx burners • SNCR and SCR for certain units
SCR at Swedish refineries • Preem (L) FFCU 90 % red. (1994) • Shell Boiler (1998) • Preem (G) Reformer 91 % red. (1998) CDU 77 % (2003)
Refinery total 2006NOx emissions Preem (L) • 26.000 TJ • 37 mg/MJ (2005 34 mg/MJ) • Average • 867 Tonnes NOx/year (2005 655 t/y)
