$600M project cleans air

PPL scrubber removing 97% of sulfur dioxide, official says

Construction of the scrubbers has multiple benefits, Munroe said.

"It's a win-win-win. It's good for the environment, good for the community and good for the local economy," he said.

All the fabrication was done on site, with several hundred PPL employees and subcontractors working, and 30 new full-time positions for operation and maintenance of the scrubbers resulted. In addition, the U.S. Gypsum plant will need about 150 full-time employees.
