Great River Energy's Coal Creek Station
FPD is the electrical contractor working on this unique coal-drying system enables the nation to tap into vast resources of high-moisture coal while simultaneously providing environmental benefits. The successful system will further indicate that the nation can cost-effectively use its most abundant resource.
Great River Energy Spiritwood
FPD has started construction on Great River Energy’s Spiritwood Power Station Project that involves construction of a 99 MW-equivalent power plant to provide steam to the expansion of Cargill Malt America’s malting plant, while providing up to 62 MW of baseload electricity and up to 37 MW of peaking electricity power to the grid.
Basin Electric Leland Olds
Basin Electric Leland Olds Station Power North Dakota, on the installation of two Babcock Power Environmental Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization units and auxiliary equipment. WFGD units remove sulfur dioxide from the plant’s flue gas through a wet process.
In addition to the installation of the two units Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization units and all the other electrical work on several supporting systems including;
- A new reagent preparation building with ball mills and limestone slurry storage facilities.
- Limestone and gypsum conveyance systems.
- A dewatering facility for the dewatering of the spent limestone slurry, storage tanks for the reclaimed water, and a building for the storage of the byproduct, gypsum.
- Ductwork on site fabrication and erection that will tie into the existing Leland Olds Flue gas ductwork.
Comanche Unit 3
Construction on Xcel Energy’s first new coal-fired electric generation unit in approximately 30 years is well under way and on schedule for its late fall 2009 in service date. Comanche Station near Pueblo, Colorado, is the site of the 750-megawatt generating unit. The new unit will use a highly efficient supercritical boiler and all units will have state-of-the art emission controls. FPD also provided all the electrical construction services for the new coal handling system.
