The environmental retrofit project is expected to reduce Nitrogen Oxide emissions by 40 to 50 percent.
Weston 1 is preparing for installation of the "Separated Over Fire
Air" equipment that will reduce nitrogen oxide emissions at the power
generator by 40 to 50 percent. Energy Projects' Mark Spears inspects
delivery of the equipment that will be installed in the next few weeks.
The recently arrived nozzle heads on the low NOx burners are
inspected by Mark Spears and Kelly Zagrzebski of WPS.
The burners are part of a boiler modification that will reduce Nitrogen
Oxide emissions at the plant by 40 to 50 percent.
Lined up and ready for installation. The equipment needed to reduce
NOx emissions at Weston Unit 1 is in place and will soon be installed
during the unit's regularly scheduled maintenance outage this fall.
Kelly Zagrzebski and Mark Spears discuss the environmental retrofit
projects that will take place at seven of the company's coal-fueled
units.
A large storage and laydown area is needed for all the equipment
associated with the environmental retrofit emission control projects that
will soon begin at Weston Unit 1. The project begins in fall of this year,
and will involve retrofitting seven units in two different locations, the
Weston Power Plant near Wausau and the Pulliam Power Plant in Green Bay.
