Abstract
A system includes a gas production source configured to produce a gas stream comprising nitrogen oxides (NO) and a hydrocarbon injector disposed downstream of the gas production source and configured to inject a hydrocarbon into the gas stream. The hydrocarbon is configured to oxidize molecules of the NOin the gas stream to produce a higher order compound of nitrogen and oxygen (NO). The system also includes a removal device disposed downstream of the hydrocarbon injector. The removal device is configured to remove the NOfrom the gas stream via absorption or reaction.
