/ MEDIA STATEMENT / This content is not written by Creamer Media, but is a supplied media statement.
Engineering procurement and construction (EPC) company Lesedi participated in the Enlit Africa event in Cape Town with a focus on clean air technologies for the mining and power industries.
During the second day of the conference, Lesedi's Senior Project Manager, Leon van Wyk co-presented alongside Hanif Suchwani, Vice President of International Operations, Fuel Tech Inc. USA and Piers de Havilland, Director of Marketing and Business Development EWA, Fuel Tech Srl, Italy.
They unpacked dual flue gas conditioning technology to improve ESP (Electrostatic Precipitator) performance and presented several case studies of innovative Air Pollution Control (APC). The clean energy solutions offered by Fuel Tech can be tailored for different fuels and are ideal for large corporations such as Eskom, Sasol and the mining industry, with guaranteed performance results.
The partnership between Lesedi and Fuel Tech brings more than 30 years of Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) experience to Africa. Both parties have turnkey experience in their respective markets. Lesedi and Fuel Tech can provide Dual Flue Gas Conditioning that can be retrofitted to existing ESP applications to lower emissions for new legislative standards and The National Environmental Management Act.
The Lesedi and Fuel Tech partnership combines their extensive experience across multiple fuels with diverse applications, the ability to scale up or down to the application, a strong market presence and an established supply chain.
Leon van Wyk said that Lesedi supplies several "best of breed" engineering products from around the world. “We are technology agnostic, and form strategic relationships in order to provide the best technical solutions to our clients. This increases local reach for foreign entities and reduces participation risks for international OEMs as we understand the local market landscape and we have an in-depth technical understanding of the systems we get involved with.”
"Fuel Tech is excited to partner with Lesedi in the South African market. This partnership allows local clients access to our proven world-class air pollution control technologies, such as Dual Flue Gas Conditioning, through a well-known and well-respected company with localized technical resources and a well-established supply chain", commented Hanif Suchwani, Vice President of International Operations, Fuel Tech.
Piers de Havilland from Fuel Tech added that “this technology keeps coal generation current with today’s emission requirements. We cannot change overnight to renewable energy technologies and gas, but it is buying us time to journey through the just energy transition.”
During the cocktail event at Lesedi’s exhibition stand, Shane Pereira (Business Development Executive for Lesedi) added that few people understand the complexities of the technologies that Lesedi can offer with its partners and that Lesedi is one of the few EPC companies in South Africa with decades of expertise across all sectors of industry.
Fuel Tech Technologies to enable clean, efficient energy include the following product offerings:
FUEL CHEM® (Chemical Technologies)
