Aker Kvaerner Win Contract for Power Boiler Island

Aker Kvaerner has been awarded a contract for the supply of a power boiler island to KFx Inc. which is developing its coal beneficiation facility at their Buckskin plant in Wyoming, USA. The contract value to Aker Kvaerner is approximately EUR 60 million.

KFx Inc. will use the new power boiler to produce steam for KFx's coal beneficiation process, which utilises heat and pressure to physically and chemically transform high moisture, low heating value coals, into more energy efficient, lower emission fuel.

Kvaerner Power, part of the Aker Kvaerner group, will supply the coal-fired power boiler to KFx's Buckskin plant. The power boiler will use circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology and will have a steam capacity of 88 kilograms per second. The new boiler island will be ready in December 2008.

KFx Inc. offers combined energy, environmental and economic solutions to coal-fired power generating facilities and industrial coal users in the United States and internationally.
