CER to install $11M recovery system for Wengfu Ltd.

CER signed a US$10.9 million contract with Wengfu Co., Ltd. to retrofit a heat energy recovery system into an existing sulfuric acid plant. The plant is at the company's Fuquan City facility in Guizhou Province, China.
CER's heat recovery system will be capable of generating 960 tons of steam per day at 176ºC and 0.8MPa from operations at the plant. The steam will be used to supply power for the plant, reducing its demand for electricity produced from fossil-fuels. CER's installation is scheduled for completion in August 2011.

Wengfu produces a range of basic chemicals at its Fuquan City facility including phosphate, sulfuric acid, iodine and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.

"We are excited to have Wengfu as a new customer and we look forward to helping them cut costs and reduce pollutants," CER Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Qinghuan Wu said. "CER has developed a strong design that will deliver real savings."

Installation of CER's heat recovery system is aligned with Wengfu's commitment to sustainable development and reduced sulfur chemical pollution. By using recovered heat to produce steam as an energy source, Wengfu will be able to reduce costs, energy consumption and pollutants.
