B&W PGG’s full scope of supply includes the absorber island, piping, outlet flues and other associated equipment. B&W PGG also designed and installed scrubbers for the control of sulfur dioxide emissions on the Monroe plant’s two other units.
Both of those wet FGD systems began operation last year. The B&W PGG contract is a component of Detroit Edison’s overall FGD project, which is estimated to cost about $600m and includes construction of a new 580ft chimney, a building to house the absorber system, installation of control systems and construction of additional infrastructure.
Richard Killion, president and chief operating officer of B&W PGG, said: “We’re committed to providing our customers with effective, economical solutions to comply with more stringent state and federal clean air standards.
“B&W PGG has a reputation in the power generation industry as a leader in flue gas desulfurization and other important emissions control technologies, and we’re proud to offer products and services that live up to that reputation.”
Engineering is underway at B&W PGG’s Barberton, Ohio headquarters. Monroe Unit 1’s wet FGD system is scheduled for start-up in the fall of 2013. Unit 2 is scheduled for a spring 2014 start-up.
