Environmental Awareness
As well as using valuable fuel resources as efficiently as possible,
the cogeneration station has several features to ensure a minimal
environmental impact.
| • |
Sophisticated
emission controls keep levels of pollutants, such as oxides
of nitrogen, to a minimum.
|
| • |
Emissions
of greenhouse gases are only about one third of a similarly
sized coal-fired station.
|
| • |
Gas
burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels so when the plant
is operating no oxides of sulphur are produced.
|
| • |
The
power station operates quietly due to the extensive use of noise
control technology.
|
| • |
SaskWater
will supply cooling water from the South Saskatchewan River.
The water usage is less than 0.1% of flow from the South Saskatchewan
River.
|
| • |
The
power station uses a closed-loop cooling system with cooling
towers.
