Business Wire
Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a world leader in advanced
engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems
and emissions control in utility and industrial applications, today
announced the receipt of multiple air pollution control (APC)
contracts from customers in China. These awards have an aggregate
value of approximately $2.0 million.
Fuel Tech received multiple awards for NOxOUT® Selective
Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) systems for a variety of coal and
gas fired utility boilers. Our SNCR technology is a proven viable
solution as combustion unit owners look to comply with more
stringent NOx control requirements mandated by China. Equipment
deliveries for these projects are occurring in the current fourth
quarter.
The Company received additional orders in China for ULTRA™
systems that will be installed on multiple coal-fired utility units
being retrofitted with NOx reduction technology. Fuel Tech’s ULTRA
process provides for the safe and cost-effective on-site conversion
of urea to ammonia for use as a reagent where Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOx, eliminating the hazards
associated with the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or
aqueous ammonia. Deliveries for these projects are scheduled in the
current fourth quarter and first quarter of 2017.
Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, “These orders continue to demonstrate our capabilities
to provide safe, cost-effective environmental and emission control
solutions on a global basis. With our industry-leading suite of APC
products and services, we believe we are well positioned to compete
for additional opportunities in the domestic and international
markets.”
