Since the preparation of Romania entrance in European Union was in a rush in 2005, I worked for the first national project of smokes treatment in an electrical plant. This plant burns coal so as to produce energy, thus lots of Sox were produced.

The main objective was to evaluate the dimensions the desulfurization process and the treatment factory. I was the privileged contact of Black & Veatch consultants from USA.
