(EnergyAsia, February 7 2012, Tuesday) --- Engineering giant Foster Wheeler AG said a subsidiary of its Global Power Group has been awarded a contract by Yuen Foong Yu Paper Mfg Co Ltd to design and supply a circulating fluidised-bed (CFB) steam generator for captive use at its industrial paper complex in Yangzhou in China’s Jiangsu Province.

Foster Wheeler will design and supply the 50 gross megawatt electric (MWe) plant and auxiliary equipment and provide site advisory services.

Due for start-up in the fourth quarter of 2013, the CFB steam generator will be designed to burn coal-blended with paper sludge while meeting applicable environmental regulatory requirements.

Mark Garvey, CEO of Foster Wheeler Power Group Asia, said:

“We welcome the award of this project by Yuen Foong Yu, a valued and repeat customer. This is our fourth opportunity to supply a Foster Wheeler CFB to a Yuen Foong Yu project. This award confirms again Yuen Foong Yu’s confidence in our world-class, competitive and environmentally friendly CFB technology.”

“Since 2005, both parties had the intent to cooperate on this second Yangzhou project which we are now happy to announce,” said C. J. Chang, general manager for Yuen Foong Yu Paper’s East China Area.
