Lurgi Lentjes wins major order from Ireland
Lurgi Lentjes AG has won a contract to build a flue gas cleaning plant for Money-point power station in Ireland. The order is worth about EUR150 million and was awarded by the Irish power utility ESB (Electricity Supply Board). This project represents an-other major order for Lurgi Lentjes.
Lurgi Lentjes is to build a total of three flue gas cleaning lines for the three 305 mega-watt units of the Moneypoint power station by 2008 and is to gradually integrate them into the existing plant while it is in operation. Lurgi Lentjes' state-of-the-art denitrification and desulfurization technology will ensure that Moneypoint will fully comply with its obligations under the Large Combustion Plant Directive. This technology can cut nitrogen oxide emissions by more than 85 percent using the selective catalytic reduc-tion process and sulphur dioxide emissions by over 90 percent using the dry circulation fluidized bed desulphurisation process. The coal-fired Moneypoint power station supplies around twenty five percent of the country's total energy needs.
