KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced that its subsidiary Roberts
& Schaefer (R&S) has been selected by Seminole Electric
Cooperative, Inc. to provide engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) services for the Bottom Ash and Economizer Ash
Handling System Replacement project in Palatka, Fla. R&S will
facilitate the turnkey installation of the wet bottom ash system
for the two 650 Megawatt (MW) units at the coal-fired power
plant.
The plant’s existing wet systems will be replaced with DRYCON™
dry bottom ash systems. The DRYCON™ is expected to increase
efficiency at Seminole’s existing facility. The new system is
expected to lower operating and maintenance costs to the utility
while improving environmental performance. Installation of the
equipment is scheduled during the spring and fall of 2012. This
project marks the first utilization of the technology in the U.S.
and will be the first conversion of a wet to completely dry bottom
ash system in almost 20 years in North America.
“We are proud to be a part of this unique, historical project
and look forward to building a relationship with our newest
client,” said Mark Williams, Group President, Infrastructure,
Government & Power. “The execution of the region’s first-time
installation of this technology will enhance R&S’s expertise to
carry out future projects of this kind.”
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company
supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals,
civil infrastructure, power, industrial, and commercial markets.
