Tenova Goodfellow to install EFSOP at Ontario power plant

Tenova Goodfellow announced that it signed a MoU with Ontario Power Generation to install and demonstrate the Goodfellow EFSOP® system along with advanced optical sensors at the Atikokan Generating Station at Atikokan in Ontario. EFSOP® technology will be used to monitor and optimize coal only and coal biomass co firing.

The project will focus on the use of both conventional and next generation EFSOP® systems for monitoring and controlling combustion and related NOx & SOx emissions as part of the Ontario Ministry of Energy’s Atikokan Bio Energy Research Centre. Ontario Power Generation is supporting the Centre’s research program by hosting some of the projects at the Atikokan station.

The Atikokan project is part of a three tier demonstration project partially funded by Sustainable Development Technology Canada an arm’s length, not for profit Corporation created by the Government of Canada. Through the Ontario Centres of Excellence, additional funding has been secured from the province in support of the biomass power demonstration project at the Atikokan Generating Station.

Ontario Power Generation becomes the third industrial partner to sign on to this Sustainable Development Technology Canada sponsored program to test Goodfellow EFSOP® at combustion intensive industries, joining St Marys Cement and Hamilton Steel.
