Fuel-Tech N.V. Announces Three NOxOUT(R) Orders Totaling $2.4 Million

STAMFORD, Conn.--July 12, 2005--Fuel-Tech N.V. , a world leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems in utility and industrial applications, today announced three orders for the installation of NOxOUT(R) Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) systems with a total value of $2.4 million. One order was placed by Solvay Chemicals, Inc., which is converting the fuel source for a calciner at its Green River, Wyoming soda ash plant from natural gas to a local sub-bituminous coal. The other two orders are for multiple European installations, one at a municipal solid waste incineration facility in Italy and the other representing four cement plants, two in France, one in Belgium and one in Italy.

Steven C. Argabright, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "We are very pleased with the Solvay order as it represents the first application of our NOxOUT technology in the trona fields of Wyoming. The international order in the cement industry is particularly noteworthy as it represents significant penetration of a targeted industry in Western Europe. In addition, the European contracts are a reflection of the fine work being done by our Italian subsidiary, which is capitalizing on European market opportunities."
