The first order placed by an existing customer requires the company to provide ULTRA systems for two medium-sized coal-fired units that are being retrofitted with nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction technology.

As per the second order, placed by a new customer, Fuel Tech will provide ULTRA systems for two coal-fired units being retrofitted with NOx control technology.

Equipment deliveries for the projects are expected to occur in the second half of 2012.

Fuel Tech’s ULTRA process provides for the safe and cost-effective on-site conversion of urea to ammonia for use as a reagent in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx, eliminating the hazards associated with the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or aqueous ammonia.

Fuel Tech is a technology company engaged in the development, commercialization and application of proprietary technologies for air pollution control, process optimization, and advanced engineering services worldwide.
