CER inks $23M system Installations contract

CER manufacture and install two, large-scale waste heat recovery systems for sulfuric acid production for Hubei Sanning Chemical Co.

It will be located at the Hubei’s production complex in Zhijiang City, Hubei Province, China. The contract for the two systems, which was executed represents an approximate gross total of US$22.7 million to CER.

Of the two heat recovery systems ordered by Hubei Sanning, one is rated to produce 22 tons-per-hour of low-pressure saturated steam and will be retrofitted to an existing 300 thousand ton-per-year sulfuric acid plant. This system is scheduled to be completed in December 2011. The second system for Hubei Sanning will be incorporated into a new, 800 thousand ton-per-year sulfuric acid plant under construction at the site. This system is rated to produce 125 tons-per-hour of high-pressure superheated steam and is scheduled for completion in January of 2012.

Hubei Sanning previously contracted with CER to install a heat recovery system for another of its sulfuric acid plants in Sept. 2009.

Hubei Sanning is the fertilizer and coal-chemical subsidiary of Jincheng Coal Group, one of China's leading industrial chemical and fertilizer producers. Sulfuric acid is a basic building-block chemical used in fertilizer manufacturing.

"We are pleased to have been selected again by Hubei Sanning to manufacture and install heat recovery systems for new and existing sulfuric acid production in Zhijiang City," Qinghuan Wu, Chairman and CEO of China Energy Recovery, said. "The scale of these projects underline the confidence Hubei Sanning has in CER's engineering capability and the performance of its waste heat recovery systems."
