3 September 2009 - Aker Solutions has signed a contract with Shandong
Chenming Paper Holdings Ltd. for the supply of technology,
engineering, equipment and site construction support services for an
integrated chlorine dioxide plant to be installed for Zhanjiang
Chenming Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shandong Chenming
Paper. The new plant will be located at the company's greenfield pulp
and paper mill in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, Peoples' Republic of
China - home to a 700,000 tonnes per annum bleached hardwood kraft
pulp mill and the world's largest fine-paper production line.

Aker Solutions' integrated chlorine dioxide technology and
proprietary sodium chlorate electrolysers offer a proven low cost
method of producing  high purity chlorine dioxide in situ. This
avoids the dependence on the cyclical global chlorate market or the
solids handling problems associated with importing and storing sodium
chlorate crystal, sulphuric acid, or methanol.

"Aker Solutions' integrated chlorine dioxide technology has been
widely adopted by world class pulp mills as a means to gain a
production advantage. With the successful execution of this latest
project award, our experience will span some 30 integrated chlorine
dioxide plants designed and built around the world," said Doug Shaw,
president of Aker Solutions' Chemetics business.

Project execution and management, including engineering, procurement
and construction support services, will be performed by Aker
Solutions' offices in Vancouver and Beijing/Shanghai. The integrated
chlorine dioxide plant is scheduled for start-up in mid 2011.
The Aker Solutions contract party is Aker Chemetics, a division of
Aker Solutions Canada Inc.
