Fuel Frontiers Engages Shaw Stone and Webster as Engineering, Procurement and Construction Manager for Waste-to-Fuel Facilities

  Share With Friends

Fuel Frontiers, Inc. (FFI), a subsidiary of Nuclear Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: NSOL), and Shaw Stone & Webster, a division of The Shaw Group Inc., have entered into a General Services Agreement for the joint development of waste-to-alternative fuels operations in the United States and Europe.

Shaw will provide project development and front-end engineering services for FFI's alternative fuels plants, including support for the selection and evaluation of commercial plasma gasification and gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology systems. The company also will be the exclusive Engineering, Procurement and Construction Manager (EPCM) for the anticipated waste-to-fuel facility at Toms River, New Jersey.

FFI's core business is the implementation of state-of-the-art commercial technology to transform low-value, end-of-life waste materials such as used tires, refinery sludge, waste coal, wood wastes, and agricultural waste byproducts into high-value, ultra-clean diesel and other synthetic fuels. FFI, as the owner of the proposed fuel plants, anticipates developing them using the Design-Build model with SS&W as the EPCM in addition to providing commissioning, operation and maintenance of the facilities.

FFI's current focus is on six plant construction and operations projects involving different plant feedstock sources. These include the announced plant at Toms River, New Jersey and two other plant sites using scrap tires. Additionally, three other plant sites in development in the southern United States will use refinery waste streams.

Shaw Stone & Webster offers technology and full EPC services in the process and power industries, providing a competitive advantage to its biofuels and syngas clients. The company has extensive experience of current commercial technologies for biofuels production and have carried out major feasibility studies, conceptual design and detailed engineering for bio fuels and gasification plants. SS&W has engineered and constructed more than 20 coal-fired plants over the past 40 years and has more recent experience with flu gas emission controls systems than any other contractor.

"Shaw becomes the lynchpin for FFI execution of its First Round of plants producing ultra-clean diesel from scrap," says John C. Young, FFI President.

The Shaw Group Inc. is a leading global provider of technology, engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance, fabrication, manufacturing, consulting, remediation, and facilities management services for government and private sector clients in the energy, chemical, environmental, infrastructure, and emergency response markets. A Fortune 500 company with nearly $5 billion in annual revenues, Shaw is headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and employs approximately 21,000 people (of which some 800 are based in the UK) at its offices and operations in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
