January 10 2017 - 8:50AM
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 the US. These awards have an aggregate
value of approximately $4.0 million.
An order was received for an ULTRA® system that will be
installed on natural gas-fired units in the Pacific Rim being
retrofitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) 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
SCR is used to reduce NOx, eliminating the hazards associated with
the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or aqueous
ammonia. Engineering is expected to be completed in the first
quarter of 2017, with the first equipment deliveries starting early
in 2018.
A second order was received for two ULTRA systems that will be
installed on natural gas-fired units in the US Northeast being
retrofitted with SCR technology. Delivery of these systems is
scheduled for fourth quarter 2017.
Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, “These orders reflect Fuel Tech’s ability to provide
safe, cost-effective environmental and emission control solutions
for units utilizing a variety of fuel sources, including natural
gas. With our industry-leading suite of APC products and services,
we believe we are well positioned to compete for additional global
opportunities.”
