According to the agreement, signed in March 2009, between Eesti Energia Narva Elektrijaamad and Alstom Estonia AS & Alstom Power Sweden, two units at Eesti power plant will be equipped with devices that will remove sulphur emissions (SO2) from the flue gases, writes LETA.
The company reserved the option of deciding by January 31, 2010, to install desulphurization on an additional two energy units at Eesti power plant.
"This agreement is an important step in making electricity generation from oil shale more environmentally friendly and ensures that we will be able to use our production capacities in the future as well," said Director of Eesti Energia Narva Elektrijaamad Ilmar Petersen. "For this purpose we decided to install by 2012, when the sulphur emission standards become more stringent, desulphurization (deSOx) equipment on a total of four units at Eesti power plant."
The installation work for new equipment will be completed in February 2011 and the equipment will be launched.
The desulphurization project is planned to be completed by 2012.
