TVA adding emissions controls to Rogersville plant
February 15, 2007 by Walter Schneider.
Wate, Knoxville, Tennesse, February 14, 2007
ROGERSVILLE (WATE) — The Tennessee Valley Authority says a plan for adding new equipment at its John Sevier Fossil Plant will reduce some emissions by as much as 95 percent.
TVA plans to install equipment to further reduce sulfur dioxide emissions and nitrogen oxide emissions at the 712-megawatt plant in Rogersville.
Sulfur dioxide contributes to the formation of acid rain and haze problems. Nitrogen oxide contributes to ground-level ozone pollution. (Full Story)

Settlement entered in AEP’s sulfur case

By John O’Brien - Charleston Bureau
CHARLESTON — On a clear day, it’s said a person can see forever.
On a windy day five years ago, the citizens of Mason County may have been able to see a blue cloud of sulfur rolling toward them over the Ohio River.
“It just depended on the weather conditions,” AEP Director of Media Relations Pat Hemlepp said. “If it was windy …”
That cloud, part water and part sulfur trioxide, helped spawn a lawsuit against AEP that ended with a settlement being recently reached in an Ohio federal court.
The settlement, entered Dec. 6, sets certain limits on sulfuric acid emissions from American Electric Power’s coal-burning General James M. Gavin Power Plant, located just across the Ohio River from Mason County in Cheshire, Ohio. (Full Story, off-site)

Petroleum Coke — “Fuel from Hell”
November 25, 2006 by Walter Schneider.
UK: The Environment Agency has approved plans to extend an 18-month trial burning of petcoke by a further six months, to June, 2007.
Selby District Council’s environment board met representatives from Drax and the Environment Agency on Thursday to discuss the trials.
They were commissioned last June to look at the environmental effects of burning petroleum coke - a by-product of the American petrochemical industry.
Green campaigners have dubbed petcoke the “fuel from hell” due to its high sulphur content, which causes acid rain. It also contains the heavy metal nickel, which is carcinogenic, and the irritant vanadium….(Full Story (off-site)
