Alstom has won the order from Powergen UK plc to install a new NOx reduction technology system on Unit 1 at Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, located in Nottingham, England. It will be the first commercial installation of a boosted overfire air (BOFA) system in the UK. The system will enable Powergen to achieve NOx emission levels commensurate with those required under the European Union’s forthcoming Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD), due for implementation on 1 January 2008. Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station has four 500 MW coal-fired boilers, which were originally supplied by Babcock and commissioned during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
