Amec Foster Wheeler today announces that BHI Co., Ltd., a licensee of its Global Power Group, has been awarded a contract by a prominent US power producer to design and supply two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) in the United States. The HRSGs will be part of a large power plant expansion in the Northeast region of the US.
Commercial operation of the units is scheduled for the second quarter of 2017.
Amec Foster Wheeler will act as a subcontractor to BHI on this project providing a liaison project manager, technical advisor services, and warranty support.
