Emissions controls
URS has brought clean-air solutions to new and operating fossil fuel power plants for more than three decades. Our complete solutions range from defining the optimal process and supplier technology of all available options to engineering, design, procurement, construction and start-up.To help operators of coal-fired power plants meet increasingly stringent air quality regulations, URS applies a variety of clean-air technologies that reduce sulphur dioxide, sulphur trioxide, mercury and other particulates from process emissions. These technologies include flue gas desulphurisation systems developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) that remove 98 percent of sulphur dioxide from coal-fired plant emissions, which URS offers in a joint venture with MHI called Advatech LLC.
URS also is an exclusive provider of a patented sodium bisulphite (SBS) injection technology that reduces sulphur trioxide emissions. We offer the process in a variety of configurations ranging from a simple process technology package to a fully-installed turnkey system.
