DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/27/09 -- CH2M HILL, a global full-service engineering,
procurement, construction, and operations firm, today announced it has been
selected by PacifiCorp as the engineering, procurement, and construction
contractor for installation of new emission control equipment at its
365-megawatt coal-fueled Wyodak power plant, located near Gillette,
Wyoming.
This equipment, combined with the existing emissions control equipment,
will enable this power generating unit to reduce sulfur dioxide and
particulate matter emissions by replacing the existing electrostatic
precipitator and channeling emissions through a pulse jet fabric filter,
also known as a baghouse. The project will also include new duct work and
new induced draft fans. Most of the work on the project will take place
over the next 24 months. Completion of duct work tie-ins and other critical
components of the upgrade is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011.
"We are very pleased to work with PacifiCorp on this important project,"
said Don Zabilansky, President, CH2M HILL power division. "As a strategic
client, CH2M HILL maintains the highest regard for PacifiCorp and its
fleet-wide emissions reduction program. This level of corporate
responsibility parallels CH2M HILL's corporate culture."
