Yup... coal fired. We have scrubbers on both units. Two 1300Mw BBC units. Takes about a day to a day and a half to get one up and running after you shut it down. This is the winter outage for unit one, it'll be out for 90 days... really hurts ya on the overtime.

Well Men, I'm off for a few hours. Gonna have to head to bed and think about my day, what I accomplished and what I wished to accomplish.

Chances are, just going to shut it down.

We have thoses here, for now. Company's downsizing, and contracting most of the maintenance out. I don't see it lasting long, contractors don't have ownership of the equipment, and just don't care.

at least you'll get to burn a few feet of 100-18 on my wheeler lowbed. I know the work will be top quality, just hoping the bill is enough to get on your guy's xmas list lol.
