Vietnam: FCT Combustion Inc has secured a supply contract for its Turbu-Jet AF burner that fires low calorific value coal and fuel oil to Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin). It will be used at the group’s 0.8Mt/yr Quan Trieu cement plant in Thai Nguyen Province. Viet Bac Mining is a partner in the project.

US-based FCT Combustion, which launched its Turbu-Flex burner in April 2018, said that the product would enable the operator to switch between different fuels and optimise for each with one burner. Switching between alternative and refuse derived fuels (RDFs) is intended to allow cement and other industrial plants to lower fuel costs and improve kiln performance. The burner also offers reduced maintenance, as there are no moving parts needed to change the air supply.

Managing Director Con Manias said that FCT is mainly focused on building its footprint in Southeast Asia. It has recently won projects in China, Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia, prior to this one in Vietnam. The company is also working on an upgrade to the hot gas generator at Votorantim Group’s Vidal Ramos plant in Santa Catarina, Brazil. It is also supplying its Turbu-Jet AF burners with blowers, ignition, and flame detection systems to CSN Cimentos’ Arcos plant in Minas Gerais state, also in Brazil.

The company say that it has projects running in six continents due to a ‘surge’ in burner orders. It is currently working on projects in the US, Canada, Brazil, Ecuador, Poland, France, Egypt, Belgium, Italy, Algeria, Oman, Belgium, France, Ukraine, and Turkey, besides Asia Pacific.

US: FCT, the rotary kiln pyro-processing company, is pleased to announce that Adriano Greco has joined the team at FCT as Global Sales Director, based in the United States.

Mr Greco is known to many in the cement industry through his previous activities as Managing Director of Greco and as Sales Director for Gebr. Pfeiffer. FCT said that his experience and professionalism would be 'invaluable as FCT extends its reach to the markets across the globe.'

FCT already has operations in Australia, United States, Europe, Middle East and Canada and continues to expand with projects in every continent.
