Name of the Project
Nikola Tesla B power plant – flue gas desulphurisation (FGD).
Location
About 60 km south-west of Belgrade, in Serbia.
Project Owner/s
Public Enterprise Electric Power Industry of Serbia (EPS).
Project Description
The project entails the installation of two sets of one of the world’s biggest FGD systems for the Nikola Tesla B coal-fired power plant.
The power plant uses lignite coal as fuel, which has higher levels of sulphur and lower caloric value than other coal types. The installation of the FGD systems will reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide and particulates by 96%, achieving the level of 130 mg/Nm3 required to comply with the European Industrial Emissions Directive and the new best available techniques reference requirements issued by the European Union.
The newly ordered FGD systems will each have a capacity of 670 MW. They will be installed in units 1 and 2 of the power plant, which combined have an output of 1 340 MW.
