Foster Wheeler to Supply CO Boiler For CPC's Refinery in Taiwan

The Foster Wheeler contract value for this project was not disclosed and will be included in the company's second-quarter 2009 bookings.

Foster Wheeler's scope includes a proprietary Foster Wheeler-designed incinerator to destroy carbon monoxide in the waste gas stream from the RFCC, a boiler section to recover heat from the resulting flue gas, and a selective catalytic reduction flue gas treating system to minimize emissions of nitrogen oxides to the atmosphere. The project management will be performed by Foster Wheeler from its UK Operating Center with additional engineering support from its Indian Operations.

"This award reinforces our position as a leading supplier of CO boilers, in particular where stringent emissions limits apply. Following our recent supply of a Terrace-Wall(TM) reformer and three other fired heaters to CTCI for Bangchak Petroleum Public Co., Ltd.'s Product Quality Improvement Project in Thailand, we look forward to working together on this latest award to build on the existing good working relationship between our two companies," said Michael J. Beaumont, chairman and chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler Energy Limited.

These include statements regarding the Company's expectations about revenues (including as expressed by its backlog), its liquidity, the outcome of litigation and legal proceedings and recoveries from customers for claims and the costs of current and future asbestos claims and the amount and timing of related insurance recoveries. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve a degree of risk and uncertainty. The Company cautions that a variety of factors, including but not limited to the factors described in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the following, could cause the Company's business conditions and results to differ materially from what is contained in forward-looking statements: benefits, effects or results of the Company's redomestication, changes in the rate of economic growth in the United States and other major international economies, changes in investment by the oil and gas, oil refining, chemical/petrochemical and power industries, changes in the financial condition of its customers, changes in regulatory environments, changes in project design or schedules, contract cancellations, changes in estimates made by the Company of costs to complete projects, changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies worldwide, compliance with laws and regulations relating to its global operations, currency fluctuations, war and/or terrorist attacks on facilities either owned by the Company or where equipment or services are or may be provided by the Company, interruptions to shipping lanes or other methods of transit, outcomes of pending and future litigation, including litigation regarding the Company's liability for damages and insurance coverage for asbestos exposure, protection and validity of its patents and other intellectual property rights, increasing competition by non-U.S. and U.S. domestic companies, compliance with its debt covenants, recoverability of claims against its customers and others by the Company and claims by third parties against the Company, and changes in estimates used in its critical accounting policies. Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the formation of these forward-looking statements and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized, as well as other factors, may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond the Company's control. You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
