Through their subsidiaries and affiliates in China, the company is in the business of designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing wastewater treatment and exhaust emission desulphurization equipment principally for use in China’s iron and steel industry.
The company announced today that it signed sinter flue gas desulphurization build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts with Shougang Jiantang Iron & Steel Company Ltd.

The project commenced at the Hebei Province Tangshan City Caofeidian Industry zone facility with initial engineering design work on January 1, 2010 and the installation will be completed by September 30, 2010.
The build contract, valued at $33.8 million, includes $25.8 million construction principal and $8 million in interest and it covers the design, construction and installation of two ’semi-dry flue gas desulphurization (FGD) units’. The customer will make an initial payment of $4 million one year after the units have received product approval by the customer and environmental acceptance by the State Environmental Protection Department (SEPD). The balance of the build contract will be paid in annual installments of about $3 million.
The operating contract, valued at approximately $84.3 million, has a 10-year term and will commence upon receipt of final approval from the SEPD.
