The order was placed for two industrial boilers that burn coal and other gases, incorporate other Fuel Tech technologies such as Low NOx Burner (LNB), Over-Fire Air (OFA) and NOxOUT selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR).
Fuel Tech president, chairman and CEO Douglas Bailey revealed that the company has seen greater engagement from the operators of power plants and industrial units in the area due to stringent NOx control regulations in the Pacific Rim.
"These ASCR contract awards display our unique capability to integrate technologies ranging from Low NOx Burners, Over-Fire Air and hybrid SNCR/SCR into one system that offers a competitive and capital-efficient NOx reduction solution to power plant units of all sizes," Bailey added.
Scheduled to be installed in the first and third quarters of 2013, the solution utilizes the company’s proprietary advanced selective catalytic reduction (ASCR) technology that provides for lower capital costs, improved fuel flexibility and decreased requirements for equipment footprint.
