Pete Lien & Sons operate the Frannie Lime Plant supplying FGD lime to Basin Electric, PPL, Colorado Energy and Otter Tail Power

Wyoming Lime Producers (WLP), a division of Dakota Coal Company, owns the Frannie Lime Plant, a limestone processing plant near Frannie, WY. Pete Lien & Sons of Rapid City, SD operate the plant under a Lime Plant Marketing and Operating Agreement. The Frannie Lime Plant converts limestone to high quality lime through a heat transfer process called calcination. Lime quality has a direct relationship with limestone quality. All coal-based power plants that use a dry scrubber system are demanding higher quality lime because of the more stringent Clean Air Act requirements. Customers include power plants operated by Basin Electric, PPL Montana, Colorado Energy and Otter Tail Power Company.
