WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Dec. 22, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nalco Mobotec, Inc., a
global leader in combustion optimization and multi-pollutant reduction,
announced today it was part of a three-member consortium to be awarded a $25
million (72 million PLN) contract to install air pollution control equipment at
PGE Elektrownia's power plant in Opole, Poland.
Nalco Mobotec, through its subsidiary Mobotec Europe AB, will provide
engineering for the project and manufacturing if its proprietary ROFA(r)
(Rotating Opposed Fire Air) and ROTAMIX(r) technologies to modernize one of the
Opole plant's four coal-fired power generation units to reduce emissions of
nitrogen oxide (NOx). Nalco Mobotec's share of the project, which is scheduled
for completion in January 2010, amounts to $8.1 million (23.2 million PLN).
Remak Rozruch S.A. in Opole is the general contractor and lead company in the
consortium. Sefako S.A. in Sedziszew will manufacture the large components for
the project.
ROFA technology sets the volume of the furnace in rotation via an asymmetric
boosted over-fire air system, resulting in superior mixing and temperature
distribution, for NOx reduction while optimizing combustion.
The ROTAMIX system combines air injection nozzles with automatically regulated
lances for the injection of chemicals into the furnace where the temperature is
most favorable.
