The environmental retrofit project involves adding activated
carbon and dry sorbent injection systems for Unit 3 at the plant to
control emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide and acid gasses. Fluor
will also install a new pulse jet fabric filter to remove
particulates from the emissions of Unit 3.
“We look forward to working with AEP on this power project,”
said Matt McSorley, president of Fluor’s Power business. “Fluor
will deliver our construction expertise in order to improve the
environmental efficiencies of the Northeastern power station.”
Fluor will be responsible for the demolition, installation and
erection of the above-ground mechanical and structural systems and
components, and the work will be performed by Fluor’s direct-hire
construction staff. The company will also provide other associated
engineering and procurement services.
Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, AEP is one of the largest
electric utilities in the U.S. and serves more than 5 million
customers in 11 states. The Northeastern power station is operated
by AEP’s Public Service Company of Oklahoma.
