• SCR cat alyst for gas t urbines can pot ent ial ly be regenerat ed, but is seen as an unproven and im pract ical solut ion
• Unlike coal applicat ions, gas t urbines usually ut i l ize a single layer of cat alyst , m ak ing rel iabil i t y and st able per form ance m ore cr it ical
• The cat alyst deact ivat ion observed for gas t urbine unit s is m ost of t en due t o a general wear ing out of t he cat alyst over t im e (e.g. dust ing, t herm al fat igue)
• Regenerat ion of t h in-walled, sm all pit ch cat alyst can weaken t he overall st ruct ural in t egr it y
