N2O Decomposition: Caprolactam Plants

Certain processes for the manufacture of caprolactam can have high N2O emissions.  The CRI N2O abatement technology is highly effective in reducing N2O emissions from caprolactam plants.

The CRI N2O decomposition catalyst is stable in the presence of the trace quantities of sulfur oxide (SOx) sometimes present in caprolactam process tail gas.

A detailed technical description of the technology can be found under Nitric Acid Applications.
