If you have a student loan, you may be doing business with them

Fuel Tech, is a technology company, which sells out NOx equipped with a retrofittable system, for the reduction of nitrogen oxide in boilers, incinerators, furnaces, and other combustion sources. The air pollution control (APC) company also makes Fuel Chem to reduce slag formation and corrosion in boilers and furnaces.

Both of FTEK's business segments targets the electricity generation sector, providing solutions to utility and industrial combustion units. With electricity demand and coal-fired generation capacity projected to increase 4.8% and 4.5% annually (according to EIA estimates), it is believed that sheer size and growth of the domestic market, creates the most substantial opportunity for FTEK's APC and FUEL CHEM segments.

There are a number of environmental regulations that will drive sustainable demand for FTEK's APC solutions. SIP Call program, requires seasonal reduction of NOx on an estimated 900 coal-fired utility boilers and 400-500 industrial units in 19 Northeast states, resulting in increased demand for FTEK’s APC products. FUEL CHEM will be driven by increasing requirements for combustion unit efficiency associated with the proliferation of slag-prone fuels and for sulfur trioxide (SO3) and NOx emissions reduction.

FTEK is pursuing a geographic expansion strategy, which offers attractive long-term growth potential. While domestic market provides substantial opportunity for both segments, it is believed that international markets, particularly emerging markets such as China, India, and Mexico are large and under penetrated.

With a strong management team, innovative technology, and an attractive business model, it is believed that FTEK has a solid foundation for sustainable growth. With unlevered balance sheet of the company and its fortifying foothold in the international markets, its easy to justify bullish sentiments for the stock.
