Knoxking Out NOx Emissions

The SoLoNOx system uses lean-burn technologies to reduce NOx emissions. SoLoNOx turbine systems convert fossil fuels into useful work or electricity. By improving combustion technology, Solar is able to do this with a much smaller impact on the environment in the form of NOx emissions and without the need for additional exhaust gas control measures. The SoLoNOx system has been installed on more than 3,000 turbines, and most of Solar’s current engine models can be equipped with the improved system. “It’s a pretty significant accomplishment that the new system emissions levels are expected to be better than 60 percent below previous levels,” says David Stansel, group manager of SoLoNOx™ sustaining combustion engineering.
