Fuel Tech Awarded Air Pollution Control Orders Totaling $4.3M
WARRENVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fuel Tech, Inc. (NAS: FTEK) , a world leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems and emissions control in utility and industrial applications, today announced receipt of air pollution control (APC) orders totaling $4.3 million.
The largest of these orders is from a Midwest utility for a nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction project on a coal-fired boiler. This project will utilize Fuel Tech's HERT™ High Energy Reagent Technology™ and NOxOUT® Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) injection technologies. Equipment deliveries are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013. Several other orders from various customers were received including preliminary engineering for an ASCR™ Advanced Selective Catalytic Reduction system, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling services, and an SNCR demonstration project for a domestic industrial customer.
Douglas G. Bailey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to receive the order for the domestic project to utilize our well-proven SNCR technology. The vacature of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule has created an environment where an increasing level of consent decree activity is being forecasted by industry experts, some of which may require sources to further reduce NOx emissions."
