Project overview
The H-2101 project at the Commerce City Refinery will reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions through the installation of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system on Heater 2101 (H-2101). This heater is integral to the hydrogen production unit, which plays a crucial role in the refining process by removing sulfur from fuels while producing gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
SCR technology is widely recognized as the most effective method for reducing NOx emissions and complies with the "Lowest Achievable Emission Rate" standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The implementation of this system is projected to achieve a reduction of NOx emissions by up to 35 tons per year.
Methodologies notice
The calculations and methodologies applied in the context of the permit application submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for this project at the Suncor Commerce City Refinery (the “project”) are required by Colorado Regulation 3.
