friedmators Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Nice. Was thinking of taking a tour there someday. Is it worth checking out? Ping pong ball size flakes FTW My company provides the control system for the new addition they are putting together. Its called an FGD [flue-gas desulfurization]. Basically take the nasty emissions, mainly SO2, and mix them with a watery limestone slurry. By-product is gypsum. The new stuff is kinda neat. The power plant is old technology itself.

[/quote Yeah there used to be quite the plume of black smoke coming out of there. Thanks to you guys its not there anymore. Some days this winter when it was @-10 i wanted to see if the water vapor coming out the smokstack would produce some tiny flakes. I can see it from my house so just one of those thing ya wonder about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Temps taken a couple ticks downward to 30.6/29 off the high of 30.9. Perhaps things are moving back SE, thoug the wind's still northeast so perhaps it's just a fluctuation.. Trees glazed up inspite of the snow covered branches. ZR/ip continues.

I can see it from my house so just one of those thing ya wonder about. Funny u bring that up. We do get localized snow mainly in like a 500x500' area next to the cooling towers. The water is pumped up into a lake with numerous small fountains. On cold mornings the past months we would get very dense fog that sorta sat right on the lake and the road into the plant and the surrounding fields. We would get light pixie dust for a few hours until the sun burned it off. It would stick to everything. Extremely pretty and neat since from above I could see this area of complete white covering everything for a few hundred feet then absolutely nothing as soon as the elevation started to increase.

Mr Torchey Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I dont see much hope for wrap around snows besides pike area north, Im not talking about down this way, there is no chance, but I see some thoughts of coatings to a few inches, and I just dont see that on radar.

friedmators Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 i have been boating in the river for several years, love the hot water from the plant. sometimes it is too hot though. The EPA frowns on warm water. The fish love it and migrate to it and then when the plant trips off the water turns very cold and kills everything. EPA mandated a 500 million dollar cooling tower addition to a plant in PA to stop precisely this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I should have kept my track of near my head or 10 miles either side...lol.

Mica Vim Toot Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Tootnany.. How warm does it get up there in the summer? Do you ever see any 90's up there with humidity? Or are those instances rare? There are no air conditioners in houses up there. Virtually unknown. We may have 2 days of a "heat wave" at some point in late June-mid July. Lowest 90's day/ upper 60's night. I have never laid awake hot & sweaty in bed at night there when the Baroness Vim Toot was not the jigglesome culprit. Vim Toot!
