Nearly eight years ago, the company added to the development of the CataStak, introducing the am- monia-free option. Day notes,“SCR systems utilize ammonia as the standard NOx reduction reagent. However,we can now substitute the use of am- monia for a 32.5% liquid urea solution, commonly known as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).This alternate option eliminates the HAZMAT requirements that are tied with the use of ammonia, allowing custom- ers to experience the proven, superior performance of our CataStak SCR systemwithout the hassle of storing and handling ammonia. “Although we have been selling our Ammo- nia-Free CataStak for quite some time, this year we were the first rental boiler company to provide urea-based SCR systems with our units.We currently have multiple rental customers utilizing these sys- tems, and have built an inventory for future use.This is a big step in our industry, and we look forward to providing urea-based systems for manymore rental applications.” Nationwide Boiler continues to innovate and bring new products to the market.This includes its recent development, the DataStakMonitoring Sys- tem.This is a standalone device that monitors emis- sions, efficiency, and the overall carbon footprint of a boiler system in real time. Facility engineers can now have this information at their fingertips,at a fraction of the cost of traditional CEMS equipment.The DataStakwas developed about two years ago and is nowavailable for both rental and permanent use.
