An in-situ method for regenerating a deactivated catalyst removes a calcium sulfate layer masking active catalyst sites. A reducing agent conver ts the calcium sulfate to calcium oxide, which is then removed, by reintrainment in to the flue gas steam using soot blowers or sonic horns. The method is particularly usef ul for regenerating selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts used to remove n...

A method is provided for improving a signal-to-noise ratio in a received signal. The method involves receiving a spread spectrum signal (SSS ) with a power level below a noise floor of a receiver. The SSS is generated by modulating a data signal using a spreading sequence (SS) comprised of a random number sequence (RNS). The SS can be generated using a chaos generator or any other deterministic me...
