SPX Corporation announced that the Chinese subsidiaries of its thermal equipment and services segment have been awarded two contracts, totaling $43 million, to deliver dry cooling systems for Salaqi (Inner Mongolia) and Midong (Xinjiang) power plants. The facilities are owned and operated by the subsidiaries of Shenhua Group Corporation Limited, a state owned, diversified energy enterprise with major businesses concentrating on coal, power generation and transportation.

"Our dry cooling systems help reduce the water consumption by approximately 90 percent as compared to other types of cooling systems, which is in line with the efforts and policies of the Chinese authorities to save water resources," said Drew Ladau, SPX Segment President." The two power plants are expected to be operational in 2010. It is anticipated that the installation of the cooling systems for these facilities will begin in third quarter of 2009, reveals the company’s press release.
