Ducon to install FGD

Ducon Technologies India (DTIPL), a Ducon group company under amalgamation with Ducon Infratechnologies Limited (BSE:534674, NSE:DUCON) has secured a contract from Wienerberger to install it’s proprietary Dry FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) system in a Karnataka plant.

Wienerberger, which currently uses pet coke as its fuel for its plant, has decided to control Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) & Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) emanating from its plant to comply with the latest emission norms.

As per the terms of the contract, DTIPL will install Ducon’s proprietary Dry FGD systems to remove SPM and other toxic components. It has already commenced the engineering process and is expected to establish the facility next year.

Commenting on the development, Aron Govil, Chairman of Ducon group said, “We are happy to partner with Wienerberger in India in their important decision. With our established proprietary technology and execution capabilities in FGD, we should be able to execute this contract on the committed lines.”

He added “As we have maintained in the past, India offers a tremendous potential for FGD systems given its higher dependency on coal and oil for power generation and the changing regime towards pollution control.” fii-news.com
