Case Study
Sintering Machine CO Removal — Field Test
Field test of CO oxidation catalyst performance on an industrial sintering machine flue gas stream.
CO: 1,499 ppm → 18 ppm
Reported result
The original field test record reports CO concentration reduced from 1,499 ppm to 18 ppm on 2022-08-23.
Data completeness note
For full engineering evaluation, the following data should be attached to the original record:
- Gas flow rate
- Operating temperature
- O₂ concentration
- CO inlet / outlet concentration
- Catalyst volume
- Space velocity
- Reactor dimensions
- Continuous operating time
- Test instrument and testing organization
What this case demonstrates
The test shows the CO oxidation catalyst achieving high single-pass conversion on a real sintering stream. Sintering flue gas CO control is one of our documented application areas.
Engineering takeaways
What the record shows is a point measurement: CO at the catalyst outlet reduced from a reported inlet of 1,499 ppm to 18 ppm under the test conditions of 2022-08-23. What a full evaluation needs is the accompanying context — flow rate, temperature profile, oxygen content, moisture, SO₂ and dust at the test position — to convert a point result into a sizing basis.
For engineering follow-up we recommend a repeat measurement campaign that captures the CO range over normal operation, including charge cycles and upset periods, plus catalyst inlet/outlet temperature. That data supports reactor sizing for the peak rather than the average.
