AEP to Install New NOx Controls at Muskingum

LCG, Aug. 23, 2001--American Electric Power Co. said yesterday it would build a new emission control system on one unit of its Muskingum River power plant in southeastern Ohio.

The selective catalytic reduction, or SCR, system will reduce nitrogen oxide, or NOx, emissions from the 585 megawatt unit by about 85 percent, the company said. AEP is reducing NOx emissions to comply with new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

Construction will begin this month and the installation should be completed by May 2003.

The Muskingum River plant SCR unit represents an additional investment of $71.4 million by AEP in NOx reduction technology, the company said. Muskingum River plant's Unit 5 also is equipped with low-NOx burners.

AEP said that since 1993 has invested more than $160 million to install low-NOx burners on its Midwestern power plants and has reduced NOx emission rates by about 30 percent through that effort.

Of the new SCR system, Muskingum general manager Dan Kohler said "This not only represents a strong investment in our plant's future, it also represents an important contribution to the health and diversity of the local area economy," and added that there would be a lot of jobs offered during construction.
