Marsulex Power Generation Group Wins Contract to Supply Flue Gas Desulfurization System to Chinese Power Utility
TORONTO, Sept. 7 - Marsulex Inc. (TSX: MLX) announced today that its Power Generation Group has been awarded a contract to supply technology, engineering and selected equipment for Baotou Donghua Thermal Power Company (jointly owned by Huadian Power and Donghua Power Company) at the Baotou Power Plant in the People's Republic of China. The Company's limestone-gypsum flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system will be installed to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) emissions by 95% from Baotou Units 1 & 2, a total of 600 MWe. The contract, which represents the fifth successful project in China for Marsulex, has been awarded through China Huadian Engineering Company (CHEC), one of the Company's licensees. The project, which Marsulex won against international competition, is due for completion in early 2006. Marsulex President and Chief Executive Officer, David Gee, said the project is another important win for the Company and its licensee. "The demand for retro-fitting existing coal-fired plants in China remains strong and our reputation and track record of success continues to grow. Huadian Power, a joint owner of this plant, is one of the largest power generation groups in China, and we believe our relationship on the Baotou project will lead to other opportunities." Mr. Gee noted that Marsulex is currently supplying similar technology and services to the Gaojing Power Plant, which is located in a western suburb of Beijing.
