Fuel Tech awarded orders totalling USD 2.3 million

This group of orders includes baseline testing, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling and services for 15 units for five customers in the Midwest and Southeast that are evaluating Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) technology as an option to comply with their nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission requirements under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), which takes effect January 1, 2012. Often, modeling initiatives and engineering studies represent the first steps in an investment program and can lead to larger equipment and installation orders in the near future. Douglas G. Bailey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are pleased that these utility customers have selected Fuel Tech to help them evaluate their short term strategies to achieve compliance in a dynamic regulatory environment that is calling for greater reductions in NOx emissions. Fuel Tech’s SNCR technology can provide our customers with timely NOx reductions where boilers may operate across a wide load range, and these flexible systems are designed to compliment additional Fuel Tech NOx reduction technologies, including combustion modifications, ASCR (Advanced Selective Catalytic Reduction) and conventional SCR.”
