ALSTOM and Zhejiang Feida Environmental Science & Technology Co.,
Ltd. (Feida) signed a license agreement to provide Fabric Filter
technology to the Peoples Republic of China, in October 2004.

The agreement grants Feida a license to market, sell and supply ALSTOMs proprietary fabric filter technology for particulate removal for the power generation industry in China. ALSTOM will provide fabric filter technology, engineering, and marketing support to facilitate Feidas entry into the Chinese particulate removal market for the duration of the agreement.

Chinas new environmental regulation has strengthened emission control from power plants. It has significantly lowered the maximum permitted particulate emission level from a new power plant from 200mg/Nm3 to 50mg/Nm3. As a result, the demand for more efficient particulate removal equipment such as fabric filter has grown significantly.

With proven fabric filter technology widely used in power generation, metallurgical, waste incineration and the cement industry world-wide, ALSTOM is a world-leading provider in air pollution control systems.

Feida is a leading Chinese supplier for air pollution control systems with over 500 employees. It has a variety of technologies including electrostatic precipitator (ESP), ash handing and flue gas desulfurization (FGD).

Feida and ALSTOM have cooperated for several decades introducing a wide range of technologies to China. ALSTOM granted Feida a license for its ESP technology in 1982. Now Feida enjoys the largest ESP market share for power generation industry in China. Feida is also a licensee of ALSTOMs NID FGD technology. There are now more than 10 NID FGD plants are in operation or under construction in China.

This Fabric Filter license agreement, which combines advanced ALSTOM Fabric Filter technology and the most experienced Chinese suppler for air pollution control systems, will favourably position the two parties in this large
