Foster Wheeler North America Corp. has been awarded a contract valued in excess of $18 million by SNC-Lavalin Power Inc. of Redmond, Washington. Foster Wheeler's Canadian subsidiary, headquartered in Ontario, will design and supply a 55 MW boiler for Fibrominn LLC's landmark green energy project in Benson, Minnesota, the first U.S. power plant to use poultry litter as its primary fuel. The Benson plant will burn over 700,000 tons of poultry litter and other biomass fuels per year undera long-term supply agreement with Minnesota poultry producers. The plant is expected to come online in 2007.
