ECEC is currently providing engineering design for the SES and Yima joint venture project in Henan province, China.
Robert Rigdon, president and CEO of SES, said: “We are pleased to join forces with ECEC, combining their extensive experience in coal to chemical project engineering and construction with our proprietary U-GAS technology design.
“Under this agreement, our companies will collaborate to identify and develop new business opportunities in China and innovative designs that incorporate our technology’s capability to provide low cost clean alternative energy solutions from low rank coal and coal wastes. We believe that this collaboration will enable us to develop additional projects as we continue to expand our technology both in China and the rest of the world.”
ECEC and SES will collaborate to identify new opportunities in China that can take advantage of the SES’ U-GAS technology ability to cleanly convert low rank coal, coal wastes and biomass into syngas and valuable energy products. In addition, ECEC and SES will be collaborating on designs and construction techniques that can take advantage of the ability of U-GAS to be modularized, further reducing capital costs and shortening construction time.
SES is an energy and technology company that builds, owns and operates coal gasification plants that utilize its proprietary U-GAS fluidized bed gasification technology to convert low rank coal and coal wastes into higher value energy products, such as transportation fuel and ammonia.
