| Foster Wheeler awarded a contract by City Utilities of Springfield Foster Wheeler Ltd. announced that a subsidiary within its Global Power Group has been awarded a contract by City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri for the design and supply of a natural circulation pulverized-coal (PC) steam generator to be constructed at City Utilities' existing Southwest Power Station in Springfield, Missouri. City Utilities is a community-owned municipal utility serving more than 106,000 customers in southwest Missouri with electricity, natural gas, water, telecommunications and transit services. Foster Wheeler has received a full notice to proceed on this contract, valued in excess of $110 million, which will be included in Foster Wheeler's first-quarter 2007 bookings. The 300 MWe (gross megawatt electric) PC steam generator will be designed to fire low-sulfur Powder River Basin coal. To burn this fuel as cleanly and efficiently as possible, the unit will be equipped with Foster Wheeler's advanced low-NOx (nitrogen oxides) burner system. In addition, Foster Wheeler's selective catalytic reduction technology will be installed to reduce NOx emissions at the stack, and a flue gas scrubber will be used for sulfur dioxide reduction. Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for the end of 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
