Midwest utility placed the largest of the orders for nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction projects on two coal-fired boilers.

These projects will employ Fuel Tech’s HERT High Energy Reagent Technology and NOxOUT Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction injection technologies.

Fuel Tech president and chief executive officer Douglas G. Bailey said, "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.

Deliveries of the equipment are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Fuel Tech also secured an order for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling from a domestic utility that is carrying out an engineering study for particulate matter control options to meet the Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS) Rule.
