Foster Wheeler has started to integrate the assets of Siemens Environmental Systems and Services (SESS) into its Global Power Group business unit.
The UK based engineering firm has finalised the acquisition of SESS, which supplies and services clean air technologies for use in power plants and industrial facilities.
The acquisition includes assets of the former Wheelaborator Air Pollution Control Company and the Advanced Burner Technology Company and will enable Foster Wheeler to offer a comprehensive line of environmental equipment alongside its steam generator products.
The offerings include design, engineering, retrofit and service of a broad range of clean air technologies for power and industrial plants including wet and dry flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) and particulate control, acid gas control, mercury control, NOx reduction and combustion optimisation systems.
"With environmental legislation becoming increasingly stringent around the world, we wanted to be in a better position to address these environmental challenges for our clients," said Gary Nedelka, chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler’s Global Power Group.
