The emissions of NOx and SO2 are subject to increasingly severe environmental regulations. In an effort to reduce the amount of NOx and SO2 emitted by DuPont’s industrial facilities, the intern will develop new capabilities in NOx and SO2 absorption modeling. During the project, the intern will begin by learning the ChemKin™ software, which he will apply to simulate the absorption of NOx and SO2 into caustic. Caustic is a liquid solution currently used to “clean” exhaust gases from NOx and SO2 in wet scrubber equipment. This model will then permit the optimization of existing scrubbers to enhance their effectiveness. The model will also simulate the formation and reaction of NOx and SO2 with other reactants in chemical plants to identify operating conditions that could lower pollutant formation.
