Gebr. Pfeiffer hydrators ordered by ANDRITZ Inc. aid in meeting EPA Requirements in a flue gas desulphurization system for OG&E´s Sooner Power Plant

Pembroke Pines, Florida – July 2015 - In 2014, Oklahoma Gas & Electric Corp. (OG&E) - which serves over 810,000 electric consumers in Oklahoma and Arkansas - began implementing a $1.1 billion capital improvements plan to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) clean air mandates at some of its power plants. As a result, two Circulating Dry Scrubbers for air pollution control will be added to the coal-fired units at OG&E’s Sooner Power Plant located near Red Rock, Oklahoma. The lime hydrating units for the ANDRITZ scrubbers will be supplied by Gebr. Pfeiffer.

In June 2015, as part of an AQCS (Air Quality Control System) for Sooner Power Plant units 1 and 2, ANDRITZ Inc. of Columbia, Maryland, placed an order with Gebr. Pfeiffer for four lime hydrator systems. The scope of supply will include four KLV 02/630-4.0 hydrators, weigh feeders, bag filters for dedusting of the hydrator’s exhaust vapors, erection and start-up services, as well as training. The KLV 02/630-4.0 hydrators allow for ‘dry injection’ – the process of adding water to pebble lime in order to produce a dry, volume-stable lime hydrate.
