19 April 2004 - Foster Wheeler Ltd. announced today that its subsidiary, Foster Wheeler Power Group, Inc., has been awarded a contract by American Electric Power to supply and install a state-of-the-art selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system at its Muskingum River Generating Station. The SCR is destined for Unit 5, a 600 MW pulverized-coal, pressurized-fired supercritical boiler, located in Beverly, Ohio.
The contract will provide engineering, material supply, construction, commissioning and testing for this installation. The terms of the contract were not disclosed. The booking was included in the fourth-quarter results. Engineering for the project will be completed at Foster Wheeler's Clinton, New Jersey, headquarters by the second quarter of 2004. Construction is scheduled to begin in Spring 2004, with the systems scheduled to be in operation by the spring of 2005.
The new SCR system will greatly improve air quality by reducing emissions of smog-producing nitrogen oxides (NOx) up to 90 per cent. Foster Wheeler's SCR technology is reducing NOx emissions in over 100 fossil-fuel-fired plants, making Foster Wheeler one of the leading providers of this technology.
