XI'AN, China, April 26 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Sino Clean Energy Inc. (Nasdaq:SCEI) ("Sino Clean Energy," or the "Company"), a leading producer and distributor of coal-water slurry fuel ("CWSF") in the People's Republic of China ("China"), today announced preliminary, unaudited revenue of $33.7 million for the first quarter 2011 ending March 31, 2011.
“We expect to report record revenues for the first quarter of 2011,” stated Mr. Baowen Ren, Chairman of Sino Clean Energy. “We commenced production of our 300,000 metric ton production facility in Dongguan in January which is expected to contribute approximately $1.7 million to first quarter 2011 revenue. In addition, we recently announced construction of a 750,000 metric ton production facility adjacent to our existing 300,000 metric ton facility, which is expected to come online by August 2011 bringing total aggregate capacity to 1.9 million metric tons. We expect a rapid ramp in utilization rates at the Dongguan facility to contribute approximately $59.5 million of revenues based on 440,000 metric tons of production in 2011. With steady demand at Shenyang and Tongxuan, we believe that we will continue to see robust revenue and earnings growth for the year.”
