Equipment deliveries for this project, which is designed to satisfy nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission requirements in anticipation of the upcoming Asian Games, are scheduled for the third quarter of 2010.
Additional orders include: engineering services and equipment for a coal generating station in eastern Canada; a catalyst study on a combustion turbine in the eastern US; and several mapping and modeling and equipment orders in the US.
Douglas Bailey, chairman, president and CEO of Fuel Tech, said: “We are encouraged to have received our first LNB and OFA project in China. As stated in the recent publication of the government’s NOx control technology policy directive, which sets the framework for the twelfth five-year plan, low-NOx combustion technologies are the first priority consideration for retrofit plants.
“Additionally, this contract represents our third NOx control order and seventh unit award in Guangzhou city, where the Asian Games are scheduled to commence in November 2010. This province has afforded Fuel Tech NOx control opportunities as new environmental regulations have been issued in preparation for the games, calling for the installation of systems to reduce NOx by as much as 80% by September 30, 2010.”
