Alstom Aktie

weiterhin stoppkurs nachziehen und abwarten

so gut wie sicher, solange die Auftragseingänge auf einem hohen Level bleiben und keine ausserordentlichen Vorfälle (Schadenersatzklagen,...) anfallen.

...spricht doch alles für einen erfolgreichen turn-around

March 7th, 2005 ALSTOM recently closed a R$6 million contract with Tractebel Energia to modernize the electrostatic precipitator for unit 6 (with a potential of 131 MW) of UTLB Plant of the Jorge Lacerda Thermoelectric Complex located in Capivari de Baixo, SC. The modernization should be completed by the beginning of the second semester of this year. This modernization is part of Tractebel Energia’s Environmental Management System, which is continually working to better its processes in order to improve environmental impact. With this objective in mind, the company has already invested approximately R$4.5 million between 2000 and 2004 for the modernization and maintenance of its precipitators. Another $R6.5 million investment is expected in 2006 and 2007. Equipment, materials and services for modernization are part of ALSTOM’s scope of service. With 25 years of operation, the precipitator is installed at the end of a coal boiler. “The gas flow passes through internal plates in the equipment. By means of an electric field, these plates collect particles generated during the coal burning process, thereby preserving the environment,” explains Marcos Cohen, Manager of Business Development at ALSTOM. It should be noted that Brazilian coal is composed of 43% ash, compared to other countries where the proportion varies between 10 and 12%. Therefore, the precipitator is doubly important. With a heavy work demand, the product will need to be efficient and durable. The experience of working with Tractebel Energia and the analysis of the technical and economic aspects of the project were decisive in choosing ALSTOM. A leader in the precipitator market with wide range of products and services, ALSTOM offers complete services for NOx and SOx particle material. Reducing the use of combustibles leads to reduced pollutant emissions as well as improved thermodynamic cycle performance. “While competitors are focusing on precipitators, ALSTOM evaluates and proposes complete alternatives from the coal grinders, through the combustion process and all the way to the precipitator. Offering more than just services, our objective is to present solutions,” concludes Cohen. http://www.alstom.com.br/Ingles/Noticia_PaginaPrincipal2.htm
