Fluidised-bed boilers power project in Vietnam

Foster Wheeler awarded a contract for two 545 tons per hour sub-critical circulating fluidised-bed (CFB) steam generators for the Cam Pha power plant project in Vietnam

Foster Wheeler has announced that Foster Wheeler North America, an operating unit of its Global Power Group, has been awarded a contract by Harbin Power Engineering Company (HPE) for the design of two 545 tons per hour sub-critical circulating fluidised-bed (CFB) steam generators for the Cam Pha Power Plant Power Project in Vietnam.

The contract, valued at approximately US$12 million, calls for Foster Wheeler to provide HPE, a subsidiary of Harbin Power Plant Equipment Group Corporation, with two 150 megawatt (MWe, net) CFB boilers to be used at the Cam Pha power station.

The two boilers are designed to use waste anthracite and slurry and will provide steam to a single 300 MWe reheat turbine.

The award will be included in Foster Wheeler's third-quarter 2006 bookings.

"We are delighted with this important award which combines Foster Wheeler's advanced CFB technology with our partners in China for a project in Vietnam," said Gary Nedelka, chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler North America and Power Group Asia.

Construction at the site is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2007, with commercial operation scheduled for mid-2009.
