Marsulex Environmental Technologies (MET) has been awarded a contract to engineer and supply replacement headers, branches and nozzles on the four spray levels at Dominion’s Mt. Storm Station Unit 2 Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) system. The replacement of these FGD internals will reduce header clogging and increase both operational reliability and the life of the absorber.
Mt. Storm Station Unit 2, located in Mt. Storm West Virginia, has a net generating capacity of 555 megawatts and was put into commercial operation in 2001. MET designed and supplied the FGD system on the unit in 1999/2000, which is designed to remove up to 90% of the SO2 emissions with three spray banks operating.
MET President and CEO, stated
“We are pleased to have been selected by Dominion for this important project and to continue our work at Mt. Storm. MET looks forward to improving the operational reliability with the new equipment.“
