Awarded by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, the contract includes the design and supply of a SCR System for Craig Unit 2, which is a coal-fired steam electric generating unit with a net capacity of approximately 428MW.
Leveraging Hitachi’s catalyst, offering high nitrogen oxide (NOx) removal efficiencies over a wide operating load range, the SCR system is expected to help Tri-State Generation meet or exceed its NOx reduction requirements, while keeping sulfur trioxide (SO3) emissions low.
HPSA president and CEO Henry Bartoli said the company is looking forward to supporting Tri-State Generation’s efforts to supply clean, efficient, low cost electricity to its customers.
”This contract represents another important milestone in the deployment of Hitachi’s proven technologies to the U.S. markets and further establishes HPSA’s important leadership position as an industry leader in the reduction of emissions from power generation facilities,” Bartoli added.
In addition, the highly reliable system is being designed for continuous operation throughout the year.
The Craig Station fires Colorado low sulfur bituminous coal as its primary fuel.
