New emission control system debuts at Wisconsin Public Service
When Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) considered the challenge of how to capture multiple pollutants from its electric generating operation, it turned to a relative newcomer in emission control technology, a system called ReACT™ (Regenerative Activated Coke Technology). Though ReACT has been used for years in power plants in Japan, it had not been applied commercially in the United States until its debut at Weston Unit 3 in Wausau, WI. WPS installed the system at Weston 3 to control emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and mercury.
