BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The Shaw Group Inc. has been awarded a contract by RTI International to support development of a new synthetic gas technology.

A contract price was not revealed Tuesday.

Baton Rouge-based Shaw Group will conduct a study for a demonstration unit to be built for the Tampa Electric Co.

Synthetic gas can be used as a power generating fuel. Current technologies require warm syngas to be cooled before it is cleaned for use as a fuel. Shaw Group's project involves a technology allowing warm gas to be cleaned -- and cutting costs for power generators.

Pilot tests of the project were conducted successfully by RTI and Eastman Chemical. Shaw Group is working on a commercial demonstration unit.
