24 Strategy on the Reduction of SO2 Emissions Discharged from the Existing Thermal Power Plants in Serbia, Serbia (2)

Study on the Most Suitable SO2 Emissions Reduction Solutions to be Implemented in Thermal Power Plants, Serbia

In accordance with relevant environmental regulations on the Republic of Serbia, Electric Power Industry of Serbia (EPS) is obliged to enable operation if its facilities in line with requirements related to the maximum permissible levels of pollutant emissions. Having in mind that sulphur dioxide represents one of the main air pollutants discharged from coal-fired TPPs, reduction of SOx emissions in units with rated output of more than 100 MW is deemed to be of utmost importance for EPS in the forthcoming period.

For the purpose of examining possible desulphurization options to be implemented in TPPs of EPS, Energoprojekt ENTEL developed a Study defining general technical solutions for sulphur oxide reduction from existing thermal power plants. Four different desulphurization scenarios were examined, with average FGD costs per kWh produced, as well as average costs of SO2 removed, calculated for each thermal power plant considered.

The Study has also proposed a schedule for implementation of desulphurization measures in the EPS power generation system.
