Beck drives reduce emissions the precision electric actuators for dampers and valves, reduced NOx emmissions, reduced maintenance and improved efficiency at TVA Kingston.

At TVA Kingston simple improvements did yield significant results. In 1996, EPRI embarked on a control upgrade project that included the replacement of Kingston's Unit #9 pneumatic actuators with Beck drives on all the boiler dampers and burner tilts mechanisms. The results were astounding. EPRI atrributes two thirds of the significant improvements in NOx emissions directly to the Beck drives. No SCRs, separated over-fire air(SOFA), or low-NOx burners were used. Some 9 years later the plant still enjoys the benefits offered by Beck and has since replaced the pneumatic actuators on all of Kingston's Units with Beck drives.
