Project Title

Multi Nitro Indonesia Nitrous Oxide Abatement Project

Country

Indonesia

Project description

The project activity encompasses the catalytic destruction of nitrous oxide (N2O) using a secondary treatment process. Under normal operating conditions, the plant manufactures nitric acid from ammonia and air.

The project activity will involve the insertion of a platinum group metal secondary catalyst immediately below the primary catalyst within a high pressure reaction chamber.

As long as the secondary catalyst is within the reaction chamber where temperatures are in the region of 800 - 1000°C, it will cause the breakdown of N2O to nitrogen and oxygen without any further energy inputs.

The applied methodology is AM0051 / Version 01 "Secondary Catalytic N2O Destruction in Nitric Acid Plants".

The project is a normal scale CDM project activity.

Crediting period is 7 years renewable and expected to start from 01/10/2007.

Estimated annual average emission reduction is 41,432 t-CO2.
