04 January 2012 Foster Wheeler is to design and supply a circulating fluidised-bed (CFB) steam generator to South Korean GS Engineering and Construction for an Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) energy facility at its Green Energy Centre in Daegu Metropolitan City.
According to the Zug, Switzerland based engineering and construction contractor and power equipment supplier, a subsidiary of its Global Power Group has been given a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) on the project on a Build, Transfer, Operate (BTO) basis by the owner and developer of the project - GS Engineering and Construction
The Swiss company did not reveal the terms of the agreement and the value of the LNTP will be included in its fourth-quarter 2011 bookings.
Foster Wheeler said that it will design one CFB steam generator for the project. The CFB steam generator will be designed to burn 380 tonnes per day of RDF while meeting applicable environmental regulatory requirements.
Gary Nedelka, chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler Global Power Group explained that South Korea has been an exceptional market for the company's CFB steam generators.
"This project represents the opportunity for both electricity production as well as an alternative to landfilling and is another example of how the fuel flexibility of a CFB steam generator can provide environmentally friendly solutions for owners," added Nedelka.
The company said that it hopes to finalise the contract and to receive full notice to proceed assuming all negotiations with Daegu Metropolitan City are complete in the first quarter of 2012, at which time the full value of the contract would be booked.
Commercial operation of the new steam generator is scheduled to begin by the end of 2014.
