thyssenkrupp Uhde and Dyno Nobel successfully completed the nitrous oxide abatement project in Moranbah, Australia with the successful commissioning of thyssenkrupp Uhde’s highly effective EnviNOx® technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at Dyno Nobel’s nitric acid plant in Moranbah, Australia.
As per the press release, thyssenkrupp Uhde was responsible for the process engineering and provided its proprietary equipment, including the EnviNOx® reactor and the EnviNOx® catalyst manufactured by BASF. Dyno Nobel, part of Incitec Pivot Limited, is a known name in blasting technology, commercial explosives and blasting services.
With the EnviNOx® technology, it is anticipated that the Dyno Nobel nitrous oxide abatement project will abate approximately 2,00,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per annum during a lifespan of twenty years. These emissions savings are comparable to taking 50,000 cars off the road.
