Case Study: FirstEnergy achieves 98% SO2 removal and on-time FGD completion with Babcock & Wilcox

FirstEnergy achieves 98% SO2 removal with Babcock & Wilcox

FirstEnergy, a major energy company, faced the challenge of installing a new flue gas desulfurization system at its Hatfield's Ferry Station to meet emissions requirements. They engaged Babcock & Wilcox to provide a wet FGD system engineered to remove 98% of sulfur dioxide from the plant's three coal-fired boilers.

Babcock & Wilcox engineered, procured, and constructed a complete wet FGD system featuring their signature dual tray tower design and other proprietary components. The project was completed ahead of schedule, with all units meeting performance guarantees for high removal efficiency and reliability.
