There's a expanding consciousness of how critical it's to shield the atmosphere.

As a result, individuals, schools, communities and corporations are carrying out what they are able to to produce the planet a less hazardous put.

For instance, Dayton Electrical power & Light has launched a new Air Quality Improvement program, which is retrofitting their Stuart energy station on the Kentucky border in a way that will reduce emissions.

These steps will help keep the air clean, safeguard people from respiratory disease and permit future generations to live in a safer and less polluted world.

Dayton Power & Light is getting some of the equipment used for this retrofitting from Voith, one of the largest family-owned companies in Europe and a manufacturer of paper, automotive and energy technologies.

Both companies are actively engaged in the construction and implementation of environmentally sound technology.

Dayton's coal-firing system is going to be fitted with induced draft fans, which are driven by eight Voith Vorecons. With an output of 4.4 gigawatts, Dayton Electrical power & Light can supply a half-million households with electricity.

At the Stuart electricity station, four coal-fired plants each produce 600 MW of electricity.

To put the air-quality improvement program into practice, new filters had to be installed, which, due to a higher differential pressure, also called for the installation of new fans driven by Voith Vorecon.

The Vorecons measure about 23 feet in length and weigh 20 tons. They are considered a superior alternative to using frequency inverters, which are very expensive and considered to be less reliable. By making changes such as these, organizations are doing their part to preserve a healthy planet for future generations.
