Graham Corporation, global designer, manufacturer and supplier of components that include raw materials to nuclear energy facilities, today announced that it has been awarded $5.0 million in new orders to construct ejector systems for placement at facilities in China.
The manufacturer said the first order calls for ejector systems to be built in Graham’s Batavia operation and then installed at four Chinese nuclear energy facilities currently under construction. The second order is for an ejector system in an existing oil refinery.
"Of significance is our entrance into the nuclear energy industry in China, which is expected to expand significantly over the next ten years," James R. Lines, Graham's President and CEO, said. "The four nuclear energy reactors currently under construction in China are well advanced in their procurement cycle for critical equipment. I believe that these orders are a testament to our strategy in China to establish our capabilities, build awareness and develop customer relationships. We have earned a large share of incremental capacity added during the past six years in the Chinese oil refining market, and we are now successfully expanding into the petrochemical and nuclear industries."
The orders have planned delivery schedules within the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2013.
