Lab At Colorado State University Installs Donated Engines Worth $600,000
Tuesday, April 28, 1998
FORT COLLINS--Three large industrial engines donated to
Colorado State will be delivered to the university's engines and
energy conversion laboratory April 24. Seventy-five Environmental
Protection Agency administrators and rule-makers will view the
newly installed engines and tour the lab April 28.
The lab, located in the old Fort Collins power plant at 430
North College Avenue, conducts research into reducing pollution
from engines of all sizes. The three recently donated engines,
gifts worth $600,000, will be installed in the lab by crane
beginning at 8:30 a.m. April 24.
The engines were donated by Waukasha Engine Division,
Caterpillar and Colorado Interstate Gas. Additional services were
donated by Cooper Energy Services and Pamco/Stewart and Stevenson
in Denver. The new addition to the lab will also be supported by
Woodward Governor and numerous other Colorado based companies.
The lab will conduct a tour for 75 EPA administrators at
4:45 p.m. April 28. The visit stems from a new study the lab will
conduct for the EPA. In this project, the lab will study methods
of reducing hazardous air pollutants. The EPA hopes to learn how
cooperative research facilities such as the engines and energy
conservation lab can help meet air pollution challenges.
