| Foster Wheeler to supply CFB boilers to Hanwha International Corp. Foster Wheeler Ltd. announced that a subsidiary within its Global Power Group has been awarded a contract from the Hanwha International Corporation for the design and supply of three circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) steam generators for a chemical facility located in the Yeosu area of Southern Korea. Hanwha International Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical Corporation, which is a leading petrochemical manufacturer and supplier in Asia. The three 100 MWe (gross megawatt electric) CFB steam generators are designed to fire bituminous coal. To burn this fuel as cleanly as possible, limestone bed material will be used to capture the fuel's sulfur within the CFB boilers. The CFB boilers will also be equipped with Foster Wheeler's advanced selective non-catalytic NOx reduction technology to minimize NOx emissions from the plant. Construction of the CFB boilers is expected to begin in the summer of 2007, with commercial operation of the plant scheduled for the end of 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
