Denitration catalyst management method and denitration catalyst management device

An apparatus for managing a denitration catalyst that manages a plurality of denitration catalysts in an exhaust-gas denitration system that includes a measuring device, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiving unit that receives information on performance of each of the denitration catalysts that is measured by the measuring device, through a network;
• a storage unit that stores the information;
• and
• a determining unit that determines which process is to be performed, regeneration of the denitration catalysts or replacement of the denitration catalysts, or neither of the regeneration nor the replacement is performed, for each of the denitration catalysts based on the information in the storage unit.

• a receiving unit that receives information on performance of each of the denitration catalysts that is measured by the measuring device, through a network;
• a storage unit that stores the information;
• and
• a determining unit that determines execution timing for regeneration of the denitration catalysts and for replacement of the denitration catalysts for each of the denitration catalysts based on the information in the storage unit.

An apparatus for managing a denitration catalyst that manages a plurality of denitration catalysts in a first exhaust-gas denitration system, the apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit that stores information on performance of a plurality of denitration catalysts in a second exhaust-gas denitration system and information on execution timing for regeneration of the denitration catalysts, for replacement of the denitration catalysts, and for addition of a new denitration catalyst that are determined based on the information on the performance of the denitration catalysts in the second exhaust-gas denitration system;
• a receiving unit that receives information on a scale and a total time of operation of the first exhaust-gas denitration system;
• a predicting unit that predicts performance of each of the denitration catalysts in the first exhaust-gas denitration system based on the information received and the information in the storage unit;
• and
• a determining unit that determines execution timing for the regeneration, for the replacement, and for the addition for each of the denitration catalysts based on the performance predicted.
