Trboveljski dimnik - Trbovlje, Slovenia - Unique Chimneys and Chimney Pots on Waymarking.com

This modestly-sized coal-fired unit has the tallest power plant stack in Europe at 360m. The new chimney replaced the original 80m stack, which was unable to evacuate emissions from the narrow valley under certain temperature conditions. The second stack was poured in 210 days and tapers from a bottom diameter of 27.5m to 7.7m at the top. In total, 11,866m³ of concrete, 1,079t of reinforcing steel, and 950t of refractory were required for construction. The stack contractor was Karrena GmbH. The steam unit was modernized in 1999 and will be upgraded again by 2014 to increase efficiency and alls for biomass co-combustion. The site also hosts two 32-MW combustion turbines.
