Black & Veatch has completed engineering, procurement and construction management of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) additions at each of the J.M. Stuart and Killen Generating Stations located on the Ohio River east of Aberdeen, Ohio, for Dayton Power & Light Company (DP&L).

Each of the four 585 megawatt (MW) units at the J.M. Stuart Station as well as the 600 MW single unit at the Killen Generating Station will be completed by the required operational date. Both projects involve the addition of selective catalyst reactors, ammonia injection systems and various support systems for removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the flue gas, which will result in cleaner air for the surrounding environment. DP&L is adding the SCRs in response to the Clean Air Act Amendments and Ohio NOx State Implementation Plan (SIP) Call legislation, which requires power generating facilities to decrease nitrogen oxide emission levels.

To successfully execute the project, an alliance team was created integrating ownership, engineering, fabrication and construction partnerships, which lowered costs and put the project on schedule. The alliance team consisted of Black & Veatch, Dayton Power & Light, Shurtleff & Andrews, SSSI, Enerfab, Steag, APi Construction Co. and Classic Industrial Services. The compact designs coupled with the implementation alliance approach have resulted in a cost-effective SCR project for DP&L.
