E.ON, one of the UK’s leading power and gas companies, has recently installed two new large WEG motors at Ratcliffe-On-Soar Power Station near Nottingham. Both motors have been installed in the Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant which helps to reduce SO2 emissions, while also creating commercial quality gypsum. Ratcliffe Power Station takes its environmental responsibilities seriously and the site is run with efficiency as a top priority. The top criteria when sourcing the motors were energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements.
