Fuel Tech Receives $2.4M Air Pollution Control Orders In China

Fuel Tech, which provides advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems and emissions control in utility and industrial applications, has announced receipt of air pollution control orders totaling $2.4 million.

The three orders included the award of a NOxOUT Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) project at an industrial plant in Guangzhou City, the capital of Guangdong Province. 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.

The company has also received an award of two ULTRA systems for two small coal-fired units at a district heating plant in Beijing. District heating plants reportedly generate and distribute heat to satisfy residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating.

Fuel Tech's ULTRA process reportedly 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.

Douglas Bailey, chairman, president and CEO of Fuel Tech, said: "These orders reflect diversity both in geography and in our air pollution control project mix. The NOxOUT SNCR order from China represents our fourth NOx control order and eighth unit award in Guangzhou City."
