| Black & Veatch announces startup of largest CT-121 scrubber project Black & Veatch, a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company, and Dayton Power & Light Company (DP&L) announced the successful start-up of the largest CT-121 wet flue gas desulfurization system (scrubber) project in North America at the DP&L-operated Killen Station. The scrubber was added to Unit 2 at Killen Station, a 615-megawatt (MW) coal-fired plant in Wrightsville, Ohio. The new scrubber system enhances air quality in the region by removing sulphur dioxides (SO2), fine particulates and oxidized mercury emissions. The scrubber system process removes guaranteed levels of SO2 emissions, while consuming less power than standard removal processes. The Killen scrubber system was engineered, constructed and commissioned through a collaborative effort between Black & Veatch and DP&L. The project began in 2004. The CT-121 process, developed by Chiyoda Corporation, provides superior SO2 and particulate removal from flue gas with low operating costs for all fuel choices and operating levels. Black & Veatch is the sole licensee in North America for this proprietary Chiyoda technology. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
