BLACK & VEATCH'S CT-121 SCRUBBER PROJECT SUCCESSFUL FOR DP&L.Black & Veatch, Overland Park Overland Park, city (1990 pop. 111,790), Johnson co., NE Kans., a residential suburb of Kansas City; inc. 1960. There is printing and publishing, and the manufacture of apparel, aircraft parts, cement, prepared foods, salt, chemicals, marine accessories, and signs. , Kan. a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company, and Dayton Power & Light Company (DP&L) has announced the successful start-up of the largest CT-121 wet flue gas desulfurization Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is the current state-of-the art technology used for removing sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the exhaust flue gases in power plants that burn coal or oil to produce steam for the steam turbines that drive their electricity generators. 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 oxidized having been modified by the process of oxidation. oxidized cellulose see absorbable cellulose. mercury emissions. The scrubber system process removes guaranteed levels of SO2 emissions, while consuming less power than standard removal processes. "This is a milestone project that demonstrates DP&L's commitment to providing an environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] solution, while effectively meeting its customers' electric needs," said Mike Perry, executive vice president of Black & Veatch. "This innovative scrubber system is the most advanced, reliable and cost-effective technology worldwide." The Killen scrubber system was engineered, constructed and commissioned through a collaborative effort between Black & Veatch and DP&L. The project began in 2004. Black & Veatch is currently working with DP&L to complete construction of similar scrubber systems at the DP&L-operated 2,388-MW, four-unit, J.M. Stuart Station in Aberdeen, Ohio Aberdeen is a village in Brown County, Ohio, United States, along the Ohio River. The population was 1,603 at the 2000 census. Aberdeen is connected to Maysville, Kentucky by the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge to downtown Maysville and the William H. . Completion of the final unit is scheduled in 2008. Black & Veatch is installing CT-121 scrubber systems in utility facilities worldwide that generate a total of approximately 9,900 MW. The CT-121 process, developed by Chiyoda Corporation, provides superior SO2 and particulate removal from flue gas Flue gas is gas that exits to the atmosphere via a flue, which is a pipe or channel for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator. Quite often, it refers to the combustion exhaust gas produced at power plants. 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.
