Posted on: Monday, 2 June 2008, 06:00 CDT
US-based utility PPL Corporation has inaugurated a $600 million environmental improvement project at its Montour power plant north of Danville, Pennsylvania.
The environmental improvement project includes the installation of a scrubber system to clean the emissions from the plant. The scrubbers are expected to remove at least 97% of sulfur dioxide from plant emissions.
PPL has said that the scrubbers will also reduce mercury and other materials, to contribute to significant improvements in environmental performance.
William Spence, PPL's executive vice president and COO, said: "Today we are celebrating a major investment in Pennsylvania's environment, economy and electricity infrastructure. Equipped with the most advanced pollution controls available in the industry, PPL's Montour plant is among the cleanest coal-fired power plants in the country."
