Fuel Tech, Inc., a world leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems in utility and industrial applications, today announced receipt of a $4.6 million contract for the supply and installation of NOxOUT® Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) technology on two newly constructed 600 megawatt coal-fired boilers in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Equipment deliveries for these nitrogen oxide (NOx) control systems are scheduled to commence during the second quarter of 2009.
The contracting party is China Datang Technologies & Engineering Co., Ltd., with the installation taking place at the Huaneng Yimin Power Plant in Inner Mongolia. The plant is a part of China Huaneng Group, the largest coal-based power generator in the PRC. China Huaneng Group successfully commissioned a Fuel Tech NOxOUT ULTRA® system in a Beijing coal-fired power plant late in 2007.
John F. Norris Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are delighted to be initiating a relationship with one of the PRC’s most influential environmental engineering firms and to be assisting this northern PRC region in attaining its goal of reducing emissions of major pollutants. To be working on another plant in the Huaneng Group is indeed an honor. We look forward to assisting other Chinese coal-fired plants in satisfying their pollution control objectives.”
