Fluor is providing EPC and commissioning services for a 2 x 800MW unit, coal-fired, steam-electric generating station. Fluor is using the best available control technology to minimize emissions at the new plant, which will have among the lowest sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and mercury emissions in the nation and will be 75 percent cleaner than the average U.S. coal plant. The control technology includes steam generators with selective catalytic reduction, flue gas particulate removal, and wet flue gas desulfurization systems to meet emissions requirements.
Fluor used the company’s global execution center in India to support engineering and relied on AMECO® to provide construction equipment and consumables to meet the extremely aggressive schedule. Fluor also leveraged its global procurement network to buy quality products such as the chimney, high-alloy pipe, and emissions control systems at competitive prices and with shorter delivery schedules.
Additionally, Fluor worked with state and local government representatives and community and technical colleges throughout Texas to attract, recruit, and hire local talent to meet the construction resource requirements of the project, which was expected to peak at 2,400 staff.
To meet Luminant’s aggressive schedule, Fluor relied on engineers in New Delhi, global procurement specialists to buy products, and AMECO to supply construction equipment and consumables.
Fluor is using advanced control technologies to make the Oak Grove super-critical generating station one of the cleanest coal-fired power plants in the U.S. while providing electricity to more than 1 million customers in Texas.
