Alstom, a leading multinational company which holds interests in power generation, electrical grid and rail transport infrastructure, has been awarded two contracts, worth around to €5 million ($5.59 million), for the supply of particulate removal systems for industrial processes in Turkey.

The contracts are one for a new fertiliser plant and the other at an existing copper smelter plant, said a company statement.

These new Air Quality Control System contracts boost Alstom’s presence in the Turkish industrial market, it added.

Alstom’s scope of supply includes the full engineering, supply, construction and commissioning advisory services for four electrostatic precipitators (ESPs).

Driven by a new regulation, Turkey will align the emissions of particulate matter (PM), Sulphur Oxides (SOx) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), to the same levels as regulated in the European Union, by 2019.

Omer Mafa, general coordinator of Eti Bakir, said: “To ensure we have the most efficient and reliable electrostatic precipitators for our new fertiliser factory investment in Mardin City, we preferred Alstom as a proven and reputable worldwide equipment provider.”

The customer will also benefit from Alstom’s unique Switched Integrated Rectifier (SIR) – a control system upgrade that significantly reduces particulate emissions, has high removal efficiency, low power consumption, a compact layout and proven track record, it added.

Giuseppe Musico, sales director of Alstom MEA, environmental control solutions (ECS), said: “We are grateful to the customers for the opportunity to participate in these two projects.”

“Alstom will ensure the implementation of the most effective and efficient environmental control technology for both these plants,” he added.

This award further demonstrates the ability of Alstom’s ECS business to adapt its offering to customer and market needs by leveraging its global organisation and technology expertise, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
