Case Study: Alliant Energy achieves up to 98% SO2 removal with Babcock & Wilcox circulating dry scrubber

Alliant Energy achieves up to 98% SO2 removal with Babcock & Wilcox

Alliant Energy required an emissions control solution for its Lansing Generating Station to manage pollutants from burning Powder River Basin and bituminous coal. Babcock & Wilcox was selected to provide its Circulating Dry Scrubber (CDS) technology to address this challenge.

Babcock & Wilcox integrated a CDS system upstream of the plant's existing fabric filter. The solution was designed for a 98% SO2 removal efficiency and was completed with a minimal tie-in outage of less than six weeks. Following implementation, the system passed all performance guarantees for emissions and consumables, providing Alliant Energy with a reliable system that lowers operational costs.
