 “…..Frame combustion turbine can be and has been successfully coupled with SCR to
meet strict environmental standards. These two mature, proven technologies – frame-type
combustion turbines and SCR systems – are not inherently incompatible or infeasible to
combine, but do require proper design and engineering…..

• Frame technology and SCR emission control systems are both proven technologies.

• The Marsh Landing Generating Station (MLGS) comprised of four F-Class turbines that
began operation in March 2013, has achieved its performance requirements, including
emission limits, using an SCR with an air tempering system designed by Mitsubishi.

• Recent advances in SCR design and catalyst formulation, along with commercial
experience, have eliminated any engineering basis for distinguishing between Aero-
derivative and frame-type combustion turbines in terms of the economic viability of
using SCR to comply with strict environmental limits…..”
