BOB MCGINTY - MITSUBISHI

BIO: Mr. McGinty is the Senior Manager Business Development SCR NOx Emission Control Systems for Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas (MPSA), and is responsible for NO_x emission control systems throughout the Americas including the United States, Canada and South America.   His work in the emission control marketplace spans more than 25 years for highly complex pre combustion and catalyst based post combustion emission control systems in the power and petrochemical industry.  His field of expertise includes Selective Catalytic Reductions Systems, Low NOx Burner Systems and Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems for boilers, gas turbines and refinery process heaters.  His experience encompasses projects in the United State, Mexico, Asia and the Middle East.   Prior to joining Mitsubishi, Robert’s work included technical, managerial and sales positions for national and international based emission control companies including the Research Cottrell Companies, Environmental Laboratories, Applied Utility Systems and Johnson Matthey.

For over 40 years Mitsubishi has been involved in the development, design and supply of SCR catalyst and SCR systems for the control of NO_x.  Mitsubishi is considered one of the original pioneers of SCR systems and catalyst technology with more than 600 SCR systems operating worldwide.  Mitsubishi catalyst technologies have been licensed globally with focus on the homogeneous honeycomb catalyst technology and joint development of plate catalyst technology.  In 1989 Mitsubishi teamed with Corning to form the joint equity US based catalyst company Cormetech, to manufacture and supply extruded homogeneous honeycomb catalyst technology products.  Mitsubishi continues to bring superior catalyst and SCR support system technologies to the world for control of NOx pollution, ammonia slip control catalyst, and pollution control products for solid fuel based combustion systems.

Today’s environmental regulations are continuing to demand stringent NO_x emission controls in the gas turbine arena and industry is finding it necessary to install SCR systems on all sizes of gas turbines, from small single digit MW producing peaking turbines to large frame simple cycle gas turbines producing in excess of 200 MW with similar NO_x control requirements for combined cycle gas turbines.

ABSTRACT: This discussion will focus on fundamental SCR/CO system design and manufacturing, catalyst design & selection, flow modeling, tempering air systems, and constructability for long life and reliable control of emissions for simple cycle or combined cycle gas turbine applications.
