Abstract
The present invention relates to a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor assembly for removing fine particles that interfere with SCR catalyst activity in biomass fuel applications. The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor assembly includes at least one turning vane disposed in a plenum chamber of the reactor, at least one rectifier layer disposed downstream of the at least one turning vane, and at least one active catalyst layer for removing particulate matter. The turning vane is adapted to impart a directional turn to the flue gas flowing through the reactor, and the at least one rectifier ensures even flow distribution.
