The denitration efficiency is closely related to the uniformity of flue gas and reductant agent within the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor for the coal-fired unit. Based on the established mathematical model for SCR denitration reaction

a user-defined subprogram is used to couple the multi-component flue gas flow with reaction process. The reliability and effectiveness of the CFD model are verified by comparing the measured and simulated data of the SCR performance of 330 MW level coal-fired units at different loads. According to the hydrodynamics of flue gas and reductant agent together with the chemical reaction process in SCR reactor

a new intensification scheme is proposed by optimizing the structure of deflectors in front of the ammonia injection grids. Furthermore

the effects of operational conditions on emission mass concentration of NO and NH3 are investigated. The results indicates that

the maldistribution of the incoming flue gas to the ammonia injection grids leads to the poor mixing behavior of flue gas and reducing reagent. However

the denitration efficiency of the SCR reactor can be improved by about 3.37% through adjusting the upstream guiding plate structure and installing the baffle around the flue duct wall. Taking the SCR denitration device in this work as an example，the appropriate molar ratio of NH3 to NO is 0.94 when the initial NO mass concentration is 650 mg/m3

which could meet with the emission limit for air pollutions of 50 mg/m3 for NOx and 2.5 mg/m3 for NH3

respectively.
