Talk:Ferrybridge power stations

Proposed edits
Never edited an article before, so thought i'd put these ideas and bits of information here first for people to comment on before messing about with stuff and making a mess of things.

Firstly, the FGD for Units 3 and 4 is now complete and operational.

Also there are now plans for a multi fuel CHP plant on the site. http://www.sse.com/Ferrybridge/TheMultiFuelProject/

And a carbon capture pilot scheme is currently under construction, which will capture 1% of the flue gas from Unit 4 (equivalant to 5MW). http://www.sse.com/Ferrybridge/TheCCSProject/

The figure of 218 million litres of CW an hour doesn't really mean anything to me... it's quite a difficult thing to imagine... maybe stating something along the lines that this equates to the 4 CW pumps delivering roughly 60 tonnes of CW every second... or enough to fill an olympic sized swimming pool in under a minute, might help people visualise just how much 218 million litres an hour is.

There is a note stating "Not to be confused with Eggborough Power Station or Drax Power Station" at the beginning of the article, which is fair enough as they all sit in a line within about 15 miles of each other and are easily confused, but there's no similar note on either the Eggborough or Drax articles. Seems sensible that this warning should be included on all 3 articles or none at all, rather than just one. Cms108 (talk) 00:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Pre-nationalised owner
I've just listed all owners of the stations since nationalisation. Who operated the A station prior to nationalisation? Fintan264 (talk) 18:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:42, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Removal

 *  In 1999 however, Ferrybridge Power Station, along with Fiddlers Ferry power station in Cheshire, was sold to Edison Mission Energy with the provision that Unit 4 be restored to its original condition.

Needs source. The article already lacks some sources. Further detail needs sources too.

A station chimney(s)
< Ferrybridge A's boiler room and turbine hall still stand today; its single large concrete chimney has been demolished. >

The illustration showing the 1927 buildings clearly shows four chimneys - presumably one for each pair of boilers.

End of barge transport
Aire_and_Calder_Navigation cites Nicholson Waterways Guide (Volume 6) as saying "Coal carrying came to an abrupt halt in 2003 when the St Aidan's opencast mine was exhausted and the coal from Kellingley colliery was found to have levels of sulphur content high above the acceptable limit." So does the sentence, "Barge transport ended in the late 1990s" need amending?Johnragla (talk) 09:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I can't provide an independent citation for this, but I was employed at Ferrybridge during 2002 and they were definitely still receiving coal by barge then - I watched some being unloaded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.113.170.97 (talk) 15:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
