In the US, orders were received for three Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) systems.

One award, placed by a new utility customer in the Southeast, was for two SNCR systems on large coal-fired units.

The second award, placed by a new utility customer in the South Central region, was for an SNCR system on a medium coal-fired unit.

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 for the three projects are currently scheduled for the second quarter of next year.

Fuel Tech chairman, president and CEO Douglas Bailey said the SNCR orders were placed to meet the requirements of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which calls for greater reductions in domestic NOx emissions beginning 1 January 2012.

"As the CSAPR regulatory landscape continues to evolve, it is our goal to work with our customers to understand their emission control needs and deliver a range of product solutions that serve those needs in a timely and cost-effective manner," Bailey said.

Fuel Tech is a technology company engaged in the development, commercialization and application of proprietary technologies for air pollution control, process optimization, and advanced engineering services.
