Site (Location):
Jamaica Public Service (JPS) Montego Bay Division
Objectives:
To identify the environmental impacts of burning oil
To interview tour guide
Activities:
The site was visited at 10:00 Am and a trained employee was assigned to give me a tour of the power plant. I was informed of their methods of burning oil and the different types of machinery used to produce electricity. A note of the method and machinery used by JPS was made, pictures taken and observations were recorded.
Observation:
The temperature within the premises was about 31°C. The power plant uses a combined cycle to produce their energy. This specific site was said to have the most advanced technology compared to other stations island wide.

Comments:
A 120 megawatt combined cycle which is made up of three individual units; two combustion turbine generating units with a total capacity of 80 megawatts, and one 40-megawatt steam-generating unit. The two combustion turbines burn diesel fuel but can be converted to natural gas at any point in the future.
.
Follow-up Activities:
The next site visit was done on site and preparations for the air particulate test made.

Objectives:
To determine the efficiency of the power plant
To identify how it impacts the surrounding environment
To find out what measures are taken to reduce these impacts
Activities:
A tour of the site was taken about 10:00 Am, where first and second site visits were done. Questions relating to efficiency, waste and machinery management were asked and the following observations were made
Observations:
The plant’s efficiency is increased by 10-20%, as an
