A total package for cleaner air

"We have installed a NOx abatement system in a second of our coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands. We are using NOxCare for both. Yara is a reliable partner in our effort to reduce NOx emissions for a better environment," says Camiel Borm, purchasing manager at Essent.

NOx is a generic term for nitrogen oxides produced from all kinds of combustion, including engines and furnaces. NOx is believed to aggravate asthmatic conditions. It reacts with oxygen in the air to produce ground level ozone and is one of the main causes of acid rain.

NOxCare is our total solution of products, processes and services aimed at reducing NOx emissions from stationary and maritime sources. This works with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology used in the reduction of NOx emissions from barges, vessels, combustion plants and trucks around the world.

The technology is unique in allowing up to 95 percent removal of emissions. A century of experience in urea and ammonia production and handling makes us a DeNOx expert.

NOxCare’s urea or ammonia solution works by being injected into the SCR catalyst, converting NOx into elementary nitrogen, creating harmless water vapor.

Our NOxCare package of solutions includes a guaranteed availability of product thanks to Yara's sourcing system. We can deliver your chosen product from our unique network of plants that offer a constant back-up of supply.

Essent chose Yara over the competition for this new long-term contract precisely because of this reliability. This trust is based on 10 years of steady supply of NOxCare to Essent’s plants in the Netherlands.

Deliveries to Essent will also be environmentally friendly, with the solution sent in part on a barge equipped with NOx-reducing SCR technology.
