Fuel Tech Awarded Air Pollution Control Orders Totaling $8.9M; Includes SCR Project in U.S. and NOxOUT® and ULTRA™ Systems in China

Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK) today announced receipt of multiple air pollution control orders totaling $8.9 million. The largest of these orders is the award of a Selective Catalytic Reduction system for design and supply of a nitrogen oxide control system for a wood-fired biomass electric generating unit in the southeastern United States. The system includes the SCR reactor, flow distribution devices, monitoring equipment, ammonia injection grid and Fuel Tech's patented GSG™ Graduated Straightening Grid technology, all of which are key to achieving optimal SCR performance. This is a new unit that is required by a provision of the Clean Air Act to supply the Best Available Control Technology. While the unit size is small relative to coal fired units, this is a large biomass unit that, once operational, will be one of the larger and more efficient biomass boilers in the world. Equipment deliveries for this project are scheduled for mid-year 2013.
