Ross,
secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, joined leaders from Duke Power and Stokes, Forsyth, Guilford and
Rockingham counties today to break ground on a project that will reduce sulfur
dioxide emissions by approximately 95 percent at Belews Creek Steam Station.
The project is expected to cost approximately $500 million and is the
second of a series of four sulfur dioxide "scrubbers" Duke Power is installing
on its coal-fired power plants in North Carolina.com . Other subsidiaries are engaged in waterborne
transportation, coal and synthetic fuel production and electric generation and

The ELIMINATOR will innovatively use a series of pressurized tanks
and valves to replace an entire process required by the Rankine steam
cycle that is used in all existing nuclear and coal-fired power plants
- pumping the liquid phase working fluid from the condenser (that is
at low pressure) into the vaporizer (that is at high pressure) by use
of an electric pump. By eliminating the parasitic energy load of the
electric pump on a Rankine steam cycle, the ELIMINATOR recovers this
energy as usable electricity that a power plant could then sell,
increasing its revenues. Nuclear and coal-fired power
plant owners have the most to gain from the economic, environmental
and public relations benefits generated by Encore's technologies,
which can help reduce our dependence on foreign energy imports . The company's smaller coal-fueled power
plants in North Carolina, located in Eden, Salisbury and north of Charlotte,
are having advanced technology installed to further reduce nitrogen oxide
emissions .
