EXHIBITIONS are being held at Warrington’s Fiddler’s Ferry Power Station today (Friday) and tomorrow to explain proposals for the installation of new equipment designed to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions.
The proposals by Scottish and Southern Energy involve installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) equipment.
In SCR systems, ammonia vapour is injected into the flue gas stream, passing over a catalyst.
Emissions of nitrogen oxide are reduced by 80-90 per cent, it is claimed.
Today’s exhibition will be between 2-8pm while tomorrow’s will be between 10am and 1pm.
Nitrogen oxides are one of the main ingredients involved in the formation of ground-level ozone, which can trigger serious respiratory problems.
They also contribute to formation of acid rain, damage water quality, cause visibility impairment, react to form toxic chemicals and contribute to global warming, according to experts.
The 2,000mw Fiddlers Ferry power station dates from 1971. Since July 2004 it has been owned by Scottish and Southern Energy.
More information on this project is available at www.sse-fiddlersferry.com.
