Efficient emission reduction through state-of-the-art technology
Clean air and sustainable energy generation are essential goals of modern power plants. Engineering Dobersek has made a decisive contribution to reducing emissions by supplying and installing a state-of-the-art flue gas desulphurization (FGD) system in the 600 MW unit of the Šoštanj power plant in Slovenia. The system significantly minimizes sulphur dioxide emissions and thus contributes to compliance with strict environmental regulations.
