Claim: Longannet power station used water drawn from the Firth of Forth for the station's cooling condensers circulated by four electrically driven pumps.
Evidence: The chimney is 183 metres (600 ft) tall; the station did not have cooling towers, instead using water drawn from the Firth of Forth at a rate of 327,000 cubic metres (11,500,000 cu ft) per hour for the station's cooling condensers. The water was passed through coarse screens and then circulated by four electrically driven pumps.
