The joint venture company will provide comprehensive flue gas treatment solutions for the removal of PM2.5 particulate matter and other pollutants emitted by coal-fired power plants and other sources.
Tentatively named Zhejiang Feida MHPS High-Efficiency Flue Gas Cleaning Systems Engineering, the new Hangzhou-based company will initially employ around 40 people and will be capitalised at $6.66m (approximately CNY680m).
The equally-owned joint venture will be headed by an executive from MHPS and is expected to begin operations this autumn.
Additionally, the joint venture will develop and market technologies and products in China, using high-performance environmental system technologies from parent companies, intended to eliminate airborne pollutants such as PM2.5 fine particulate matter.
