When completed, the power plant will produce process steam and electricity for Solvay Sodi- one of the largest soda ash plants in the world.
Soda ash is used mainly in the production of glass and detergents, in the paper and leather industries, and in metallurgy.
Foster Wheeler's scope comprises the design and supply of the CFB boiler island, including fuel and limestone crushing plants, and boiler house steel construction, erection and commissioning.
The boiler will be fueled by petcoke and imported hard coals.
Work on the project has already started, and the boiler island is scheduled to start commercial operation in the last quarter of 2008.
"This is a significant win for Foster Wheeler".
"It is the first CFB boiler to be built in the Balkan region and this award opens up another important new market for Foster Wheeler".
"This win is a good basis for further expansion in Southeastern Europe," said James Stone, chief executive officer, Foster Wheeler Power Group Europe.
"The CFB technology has been selected because of its fuel flexibility and its ability to control pollutant emissions cost-effectively".
