July 28, 2008 - centrotherm photovoltaics
AG has registered a further success on its path to the fully 
integrated factory: a Ukrainian customer has ordered a large number 
of reactors and converters for the production of around 2,500 tons of
polysilicon. The company is also supplying engineering services to 
create the silicon factory, and, for the first time, the new vent gas
recovery system. Vent gas recovery is a chemical process in which the
gas mixture arising from silicon production is separated into its 
individual components before being reintroduced into the production 
process. This gas recovery allows a significant reduction in energy 
costs that simultaneously makes an important contribution to 
environmental protection.
The plants will be used to create a polysilicon factory in the 
southeast of the Ukraine. The delivery of the equipment is planned 
for autumn 2009. This means the order will have an impact on sales 
and earnings in 2009 and 2010.
This order raises the total order book position to around EUR 978 
million.
"Our customers are relying on technological expertise from 
Blaubeuren, and are increasingly demanding fully integrated solutions
for the production of solar cells and solar silicon. When making such
purchasing decisions, they are specifically targeting companies that 
address extensive sections of the value-creation chain," explained 
Robert Hartung, CEO of centrotherm photovoltaics AG, who went on to 
comment: "Our new vent gas recovery system allows us to integrate a 
further step in the value-creation chain. The rapid growth of our 
order book position reflects the fact that we are consistently 
pursuing the course we have opted for, and that our strategy is 
succeeding."
centrotherm photovoltaics' order book continues to experience dynamic
growth. The silicon area, in particular, has performed spectacularly,
and is being expanded further. Around 44% of the total order book 
currently derives from the company's business with plant and 
engineering services for polysilicon production.
