Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a technology company providing advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems, emissions control and water treatment in utility and industrial applications, today announced the receipt of multiple air pollution control (APC) contracts from customers in the US and China. These awards have an aggregate value of approximately $2.7 million.

A US contract was received for a NOxOUT® Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) system for a utility coal-fired unit. Fuel Tech’s SNCR technology is a proven solution as utility and industrial combustion unit owners look to comply with more stringent NOx control requirements. In addition, multiple orders were received for NOxOUT system upgrades looking to improve the reliability and performance of existing systems firing municipal solid waste. Engineering orders for utility and industrial customers conducting studies to evaluate future NOx reduction needs were also received. Deliveries for all these orders will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2019.

An order from China was received for an ULTRA® system for an industrial unit firing municipal solid waste 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 nitrogen oxide (NOx), eliminating the hazards associated with the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or aqueous ammonia. Delivery will be completed in the second quarter of 2019.

Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to announce these contracts as we continue to provide a wide range of environmental and emission control solutions for our diverse global customer base utilizing a variety of fuel sources. We have announced approximately $6 million in contract bookings in 2019, which is a solid start to our year.”
