  • Flue Gas Scrubber for Valero
Energy & Chemical

Eichleay completed this $750 million grassroots environmental compliance project to enable the client to comply with an EPA consent decree.

The primary objectives of the overall effort were to reduce particulate, NOx, and SOx emissions. Major elements of scope included two Foster Wheeler high-pressure CO furnaces (the largest of the kind in the world) to heat crude more efficiently and produce steam without consuming fuel, two KTI SCR units, a Rentech waste heat boiler, and state of the art environmental technology consisting of a Belco pre-scrubber unit and a Cansolv absorber tower. The project also contained extensive earthwork, soil nail and tieback anchor retaining walls, electrical infrastructure upgrades, as well as utility upgrades and distribution. During the course of its three-year duration, construction manpower peaked at over 1,500 personnel.
