Tour of First Energy’s Eastlake Plant

Join us for a tour of this landmark power plant capable of supplying 1200+ MWatts of electricity to the Cleveland Area. The plant has been in continuous operation since 1953 and currently employs 300 people.

Specific Environmental Measures of Interest:

• The plant burns very low-sulfur western and medium sulfur eastern coals.
• Generating units use electrostatic precipitators, which remove more than 99% of particulates from flue gas. The gases pass between fields of electrically grounded plates to which the electrically charged dust is attracted.
• Coal ash captured by precipitators is either sold for a variety of uses including the manufacture of concrete, structural fill, roofing shingles and ice-control material, or is placed in specially designed landfills. Five units are equipped with low nitrogen-oxide (NOx) burners which reduce NOxemissions by 30-40%. Two units use Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) technology to reduce NOxby an additional 25%.
