Alstom boosts its presence in the Turkish Industrial Market with two Air Quality Control System Projects

Alstom has been awarded two contracts, worth close to 5 million, for the supply of particulate removal systems for industrial processes in Turkey one for a new fertilizer plant and the other at an existing copper smelter plant. These new Air Quality Control System contracts boost Alstoms presence in the Turkish Industrial Market.

Alstoms 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.

To ensure we have the most efficient and reliable electrostatic precipitators for our new fertilizer factory investment in Mardin City, we preferred Alstom as a proven and reputable worldwide equipment provider, said Omer Mafa, General Coordinator of Eti Bakir A.S.

The customer will also benefit from Alstoms 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.

We are grateful to the customers for the opportunity to participate in these two projects, said Giuseppe Musico, Alstom MEA Sales Director, Environmental Control Solutions (ECS). Alstom will ensure the implementation of the most effective and efficient environmental control technology for both these plants.

This award further demonstrates the ability of Alstoms ECS business to adapt its offering to customer and market needs by leveraging its global organization and technology expertise.

To-date, Alstom has installed more than 1800 ESPs in various industries and 650 in the power sector worldwide.
