Fuel Tech Wins Major Air Pollution Control Orders
Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a renowned technology company specializing in advanced engineering solutions for emissions control, has recently announced an impressive acquisition of air pollution control (APC) orders totaling around $2 million. These contracts come from both new and loyal clients, reflecting the company's growing footprint across the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Details of the Recent Orders
The company secured an order from a long-time domestic customer aimed at supplying a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system paired with a UDI™ Urea Direct Injection™ reagent delivery system for an industrial plant located in the Eastern US. The implementation of the SCR system is expected to significantly enhance the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by utilizing safe urea reagents, tackling emissions effectively at the client’s newly established production facility. Impressively, this marks the fifth order from this customer over the last two decades, showcasing Fuel Tech's reliability and the trust built over years. Deliveries for this project are anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Demonstration Projects in Europe and the US
Moreover, Fuel Tech has entered into contracts with two distinct clients located in the US and Europe to showcase their Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) technology specifically tailored for biomass-fired units. This technology stands out as a proven solution for operators of industrial combustion units aiming to meet stricter NOx control standards. The demonstrations of this advanced technology are scheduled for the fourth quarter of the current year, with the potential for subsequent equipment orders to follow in the first half of 2025.
Implementation in Southeast Asia
Adding to its impressively diverse portfolio, Fuel Tech has also received an order from a new global client based in Southeast Asia for an SCR system utilizing aqueous ammonia as its reagent. This particular system is set to be installed on a gas-fired industrial process unit, with delivery timelines expected to conclude by the third quarter of 2025.
Leadership's Insight on Recent Developments
President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent J. Arnone expressed enthusiasm regarding the recent contracts, stating, “We are pleased to announce SCR system contracts using our UDI technology, which has been utilized by this customer at multiple locations over the past two decades, and for a new SCR customer in Southeast Asia. SNCR demonstration agreements for biomass units reflect the flexibility of this technology to address emissions control issues across multiple fuel sources.” His comments underline Fuel Tech’s commitment to driving innovation in emissions control and their adaptability to meet diverse client needs.
