John F. Norris Jr., president and chief executive officer, commented, “We are pleased to be expanding our presence in the Asia Pacific market with the signing of our first two FUEL CHEM contracts in the Republic of Korea. In this instance, the use of high-sulfur, heavy fuel oil has resulted in severe corrosion issues and we believe the use of TIFI Targeted In-Furnace Injection technology will help resolve this problem as well as reduce the units’ oil consumption.”

Norris concluded, “While the market in China is, by far, the dominant area of interest in the Asia Pacific region, we hope to make further inroads in the Republic of Korea and other regional markets as appropriate applications for our unique technology are identified.”
