Foster Wheeler gets limited notice to proceed with steam generator in Korea

ZUG, SWITZERLAND: Foster Wheeler AG announced that its subsidiary Global Power Group has been given a limited notice to proceed by GS Engineering and Construction for the design of a circulating fluidized-bed (CFB)  steam generator for the Green Energy Centre BTO (Build, Transfer, Operate) Project of Daegu Metropolitan City, South Korea, the owner and developer of the project. Commercial operation is scheduled to begin by the end of 2014.

Foster Wheeler will design CFB steam generator for the project, which is expected to burn 380 tonne per day of refuse derived fuel while meeting applicable environmental regulatory requirements. “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,” said Gary Nedelka, Chief Executive Officer, Foster Wheeler Global Power Group.
