DECO Engineering is pleased to announce the successful completion of the hot trial on Absorber B2 at the Nikola Tesla B Thermal Power Plant (TENT B). The test involved releasing flue gas and limestone suspension into Absorber B2 and marks another key milestone in the commissioning of the Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) Plant.
This achievement follows the successful hot trial on Absorber B1, completed two weeks earlier.
Ongoing works at TENT B are progressing toward finalization. According to industry reports, construction of the FGD facility is in its final stage, with approximately 96% of the works completed and all major equipment installed as of May 2025. The project, valued at roughly €220 million, introduces advanced flue gas desulphurization technology designed to dramatically reduce sulfur dioxide emissions—by as much as 30 times—significantly improving air quality in Obrenovac and the wider Belgrade area.
In addition to its environmental benefits, the FGD system will also generate gypsum as a by‑product, expected to reach an annual output of around 300,000 tons, suitable for use in the construction industry.
The system is being developed in cooperation with Mitsubishi Power and supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), whose expertise plays a key role in modernizing Serbia’s thermal power infrastructure and aligning operations with EU environmental standards.
With the hot tests now successfully conducted on both absorbers, the project transitions into its final phase, centred on individual technical testing and fine‑tuning.
DECO Engineering’s experienced project management team continues its work on site with unwavering commitment, ensuring full coordination of all final activities toward commissioning the Flue Gas Desulphurization Plant at TENT B.
