Marsulex Awarded Contract By Minnkota Power For Flue Gas Desulferization System

Toronto – Marsulex Inc. announced recently that Marsulex Environmental Technologies ("MET") has been awarded a contract by Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc. ("Minnkota") to design, supply and install a wet flue gas desulfurization ("FGD") system and lime preparation system at its Milton R. Young Station near Center, North Dakota. MET will supply technology, engineering and FGD equipment for Unit 1, rated at 250 megawatts, and will also design, supply and erect the lime storage, handling and preparation system. Burns & McDonnell will serve as Minnkota's architect engineer for the project.

Engineering will commence immediately. Start-up of the FGD system is scheduled for April 2011.

Marsulex President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurie Tugman, said the win confirms MET's success with the U.S. FGD market. "MET's previous contract from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to provide FGD systems for its Fayette Power Project marked the beginning of MET's resurgence in the U.S. market. The contract value and projected revenues of the Minnkota project are comparable to those of the LCRA project, which is currently under execution. With a renewed view in the industry that fossil fuels, such as coal and lignite, are viable long-term sources of energy in the U.S., we have expanded our capabilities to both execute these projects and pursue additional opportunities as power generators add capacity or upgrade systems to improve environmental performance."

MET has one of the largest installed bases of wet FGD systems in the world. In addition to its two latest projects in North America, MET continues to have ongoing success in China where it has won numerous contracts to supply engineering, technology and equipment for wet FGD systems.
