CoaLogix' SCR-Tech Awarded New Contracts Valued at $2.8 Million
Contracts are for delivery of Regenerated SCR Catalyst, Catalyst Management Services, and SO3 Removal Efficiency
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CoaLogix Inc. announced today that its subsidiary, SCR-Tech, LLC, has received three new orders valued at approximately $2.8 million dollars from a major utility customer with a long-term agreement. The contracts include not only Regenerated SCR catalyst replacements and services, which reduce NOx in coal fired utility plants, but also the testing of SO3 (sulfur trioxide) removal efficiency at two power generation units. SCR-Tech will begin delivery of the regenerated SCR catalyst this fall.
According to Bill McMahon, CEO of CoaLogix, "These orders reflect the ongoing confidence of a long-time customer, who has not only expanded the use of our products and services, but engaged us to perform additional testing and consulting services, helping them to improve their operations. We will utilize both regeneration plants here in Charlotte to serve these new orders."
CoaLogix has proven that regenerated SCR catalyst:
- Costs ~ 40% less than new
- Can be available in weeks, not months
- Eliminates the burden of land filling
- Requires 66% less CO2
To date, CoaLogix has regenerated over 20,000 modules of catalyst, many during actual plant outages. In addition, CoaLogix has over 25,000 MW under contract for catalyst management services. CoaLogix' NOxAssure program currently consists of over 3,000 modules of plate, honeycomb and corrugated catalyst of various specifications, representing over $20,000,000 of "new value" to coal-fired power plants.
