Retrofitting Coal Fired Power Plants: Experience From the Field

Educating new and existing power plant management and personnel is critical. With more prohibitive emissions policy slated to take effect at the end of the decade now is the time to begin training your staff and planning your emissions control projects. Come hear first hand about efficient, cost effective and profitable retrofit projects that have been completed, are in progress and about the best available technology and practices. Hear from utilities that have realized that even with significant capital investment to meet emissions standards, coal-fired generation is still the lower cost alternative.

• Hear about the Clean Air Interstate Rule and it's impact on utility energy producers

• Learn about ?best available retrofit technology?

• Learn different ways to control NOx, Sulfur, Particulates and Mercury

• Hear how to keep older coal-fired power plants operating for low cost electricity production

• Hear how to meet increasing demand for electricity with your existing assets

• Learn how to minimize the impact of a retrofit project on your facility's power production

Meeting current regulations and being proactive in your plant upgrade project provides your best chance in staying ahead of regulatory matters, avoiding costly legal battles and maintaining a positive public image. There are indirect financial and economic factors to consider such as emissions credits that have nearly doubled in price over the last few years and credits for carbon emissions that will likely enter that market soon. This conference will outline the most efficient project planning, implementation and execution processes and, best available technology to address your plant upgrade needs.
