An existing customer has placed an order for over-fire air (OFA) systems and burner modifications for two coal-fired units.
Fuel Tech OFA systems reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) formation by diverting air from the burner zone to the upper furnace for enhanced combustion staging.
Burner modifications adjust the combustion process to account for the lower air flow in the burner zone, which will further reduce NOx formation.
The company will deliver OFA equipments in the second quarter of next year.
The second order, placed by an existing customer, is for a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) project for a large coal-fired unit located in the Midwest US.
Fuel Tech’s SNCR process is a post-combustion NOx reduction method which reduces NOx through the controlled injection of reagent into the post-combustion flue gas path.
Equipment deliveries are currently scheduled for the second quarter of next year.
Additionally, Fuel Tech has secured an award from a new industrial customer for an ULTRA system in China.
Fuel Tech’s ULTRA process provides for the safe and cost-effective on-site conversion of urea to ammonia for use as a reagent in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx, eliminating the hazards associated with the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or aqueous ammonia.
The company will deliver the systems in the first half of next year.
