Company Information

Tinci's Business Overview

Tinci's specialises in the provision of environmental engineering services. Its core business is the design and management of Flue Gas Desulphurisation (“FGD”) engineering projects, which involve processes to reduce or minimise the sulphur dioxide content from industrial and utility coal-fired boiler flue gases. Its main customers are industrial companies running coal-fired electricity plants and other industrial users of large-scale coal-fired boilers

Tinci is one of the leading privately owned FGD engineering companies in Guangdong Province in Southern China and is amongst the top ten in China . Tinci is the only company in Guangdong Province capable of undertaking FGD projects for small, medium and large-sized coal-fired electricity plants

Tinci has licensed rights to use three established FGD processes from leading American and European groups, comprising wet, dry and semi-dry methods. All three processes are proven techniques in the developed economies and are licensed respectively from Environeering Environmental Co., a subsidiary of Ducon Technologies Inc. of the USA , GEA Technology ( Shanghai ) Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Niro A/S of Denmark and a member of the GEA Group of Germany , and RAGAR AG also of Germany .

Tinci designs the FGD facilities and acts as project manager for their construction. The construction works are sub-contracted with Tinci monitoring all stages of the construction process. Up to 31 December 2006, the Company had secured contracts for a total of 15 FGD engineering projects for small, medium and large-sized desulphurisation projects and two waste water treatment projects.

Tinci's research and development team has also worked with external experts and developed its own in-house FGD process, the TFGD Double Alkali process (“TFGD”). Under TFGD, the construction costs of the desulphurisation facilities are lowered and the lead time for their set up is shortened. This technique is most suitable for small-sized projects and has so far been used in eight projects, five of which have been completed. Tinci applied for a patent for TFGD in China in April 2006 and expects the patent to be granted around November 2007.

In addition, the Group undertakes waste water treatment projects and has won contracts with Yingde City Government Water Supply Company and Dongguan Liwen Papermaking Company.

Tinci is also researching processes for the elimination of nitrogen oxides from flue gas emissions (DeNOx). The technology involved is similar to FGD and Tinci intends to revise and adapt its existing FGD processes to exploit this market. Since the year end Tinci has signed its first DeNOx contract with Taiyun Steel Group in Shanxi Province . This contract uses technology from Haldor Tops?e A/S of Denmark .
