Allegheny Energy completes Pleasants Power station environmental project

摘要

Allegheny Energy has completed a 105 million dollars construction project to reduce emissions at its 1,300-MW Pleasants Power generating station in Willow Island, WV. The project, which began in 2005, will remove an additional 30,000 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions annually by sending 100 percent of the flue gasses through the station's flue gas desulfurization equipment (scrubbers). Previously, 85 percent of the flue gasses at Pleasants were scrubbed.
