South Korea's Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Ltd. has won an Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) (TASE: ELEC.B22) international tender for sulfur dioxide scrubbers for the company's Ashkelon and Hadera power plants. Doosan beat seven companies in the tender. The tender is worth $140 million.

Doosan will provide the scrubbers for units 5 and 6 of the Orot Rabin Power Plant in Hadera, the plant's two largest units. Doosan has an option to provide scrubbers for units 1 and 2 at the Rothenberg Power Plant in Ashkelon. IEC says that units 3 and 4 of the Orot Rabin Power Plant had the scrubbers installed when they built.
