Scheduled to begin operation in the spring of 2007, this will be the first SCR installation in the USA on a boiler firing 100% petroleum coke.
Foster Wheeler designed and supplied the original pulverised-coke boiler for the Deepwater plant, which started commercial operations in 1986.

"This award confirms our leadership in low-NOx solutions in the USA, and reflects the quality and the depth of our technical and project execution expertise".
These combustion and SCR systems will improve air quality, reducing smokestack emissions of smog-producing nitrogen oxides by nearly 90%.
Foster Wheeler's proven combustion and SCR technologies have been extremely effective in reducing NOx emissions from fossil fuel-fired plants.
With more than one hundred installations, Foster Wheeler continues to be a leading supplier of environmental solutions.
"We are pleased with our choice of Foster Wheeler", said Jennifer Didlo, President of AES Deepwater.
