The more than 2000 steam boilers operating at the thermal power stations of Russia can be divided into three groups, taking into account their operating lifetimes and steam parameters, which determine the efficiency with which they produce electrical energy. Given the expected rise in penalties for harmful discharges into the atmosphere, it is proposed that a way of reducing the nitrogen oxide emissions be chosen for each group that will minimize the expenditure for the owners of thermal electric power plants.
