Abstract: Trends of ambient NO_X levels in the Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia, are increasing, and the regulators have identified areas requiring substantial reductions to control the atmospheric NO_X concentrations. In this study, a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for the control of NO_X emissions in stack gases from 2-ethyl hexanol plant in the Jubail Industrial City was investigated. At least 70% reduction in NO_X concentration in the flue gas post the SCR treatment was achieved. Despite the high cost of the catalyst (approximately 12,000 $/m³) and reagent, the SCR system is cost effective for this high-capacity industrial process.
