WARRENVILLE, Ill., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a technology company using advanced engineering processes to provide emissions control systems and water treatment technologies in utility and industrial applications, today announced the receipt of air pollution control (APC) orders from new and existing customers in the US and Europe. These orders have an aggregate value of approximately $1.4 million.
A contract was received from a new customer in the US for an ULTRA® system to be installed on a natural gas turbine with a heat recovery steam generator and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system at a medical facility in the Midwest. Fuel Tech’s ULTRA process provides for the safe and cost-effective on-site conversion of urea to ammonia for use as a reagent where SCR is used to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx), eliminating the hazards associated with the transport, storage and handling of anhydrous or aqueous ammonia. Delivery is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
An order was received from a customer in Europe for a Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) system on a biomass-fired unit. Fuel Tech’s SNCR technology is a proven solution for industrial combustion unit owners looking to comply with more stringent NOx control requirements. This order is to purchase equipment following a successful demonstration project that started in late 2024. The new permanent equipment is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2025.
A domestic contract was also received for advanced engineering from an existing customer in the Eastern US for a biomass unit as a first step towards an Advanced Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (ASNCR) system, which is a proven solution for industrial combustion unit owners looking to comply with more stringent NOx control requirements. Work is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2025.
Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to announce these contract awards to support the needs of a wide range of industrial customers. These orders bring us to $4 million in near-term contract wins that we were expecting to close by early in the second quarter of this year, and to $5.6 million in announced bookings year to date. We are continuing to actively pursue additional APC contracts that are likely to be awarded by the end of the second quarter of 2025.”
