Progress In Baldwin City

Congratulations to Baldwin City on recently completing a large scale project at their power plant #2.

Both Universal Silencer and Fairbanks Morse Engine were on site last month replacing the exhaust stacks on units 7 & 8.

Severe vibration issues made the project necessary. The new silencers, once again, have built in catalyst with ground access, but with a more robust external shell and interior baffles to redirect the exhaust flow.

After the installation was complete, both units were started, and tested great; free of vibration. The catalyst bricks were reused from the original stacks, and pre-tested as well. Both units achieved 80% + carbon monoxide reduction.

Baldwin City plans to bring out Aeromet Engineering in early June to compliance test and recertify them. The good news is that Universal Silencer and FME covered the entire cost of the project under warranty!

Thanks to Chris Lowe, Rob Culley and the staff in Baldwin City for doing great things for public power.
