Fuel-Tech N.V. Announces Two FUEL CHEM(R) Demonstrations and a Modeling Order.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Fuel-Tech N.V. (Nasdaq: FTEK), a world leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems in utility and industrial applications, today announced two FUEL CHEM(R) demonstration orders and a modeling order for the Company's proprietary Targeted In-Furnace Injection (TIFI) technology. The first demonstration is to be conducted for a major, targeted utility on one of the largest coal-fired boilers in the United States, with start-up anticipated in August. The second demonstration, on a very large, industrial coal-fired boiler in West Virginia, is also scheduled to commence next month. A TIFI modeling order was also received from another major utility on two large Powder River Basin coal-fired boilers located in the Midwest. One or two follow-up demonstration orders from that modeling activity are expected to be received by the end of the third quarter.

Steven C. Argabright, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "These announcements represent significant potential FUEL CHEM business from three new domestic customers, including two major utilities identified as high priority prospects. In the case of the industrial boiler, we are particularly pleased that the demonstration arose from a referral to Fuel Tech by a major coal company. Momentum continues to build in the FUEL CHEM business and we are optimistic that additional orders will be forthcoming from new and existing customers in the months ahead."
