KBR was the lead for the installation of two (2) Marsulex wet scrubbers on Units 1&2 (2x600MW), which burn mainly Power River Basin coal. Sulfur dioxide removal will be up to nearly 97%. Flue gas desulphurization (FGD) is technology used for removing sulfur dioxide from the exhaust flue gases in coal/oil burning power plants.
In conjunction with Babcock & Wilcox, KBR is upgrading the existing wet scrubber at Unit 3 (450MW) to improve its sulfur dioxide removal efficiency from 80% up to nearly 97%.
As the largest coal-fired power plant on the system, generating more than 3,200 megawatts of power, the Scherer facility is integral to Georgia Power's infrastructure and its continued operation is essential. KBR provided EPC services for its four new baghouse units as part of Georgia Power's air quality program.
