       RE:      FUEL-TECH N.V.
                ACCELERATION REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4
                FILE NO. 333-134742

Dear Mr. Schoeffler:

         Pursuant to Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we hereby request acceleration of the
effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed
by Fuel-Tech N.V., following the filing of Amendment No. 2 thereto on August 16,
2006, to become effective on Wednesday, August 16, 2006 or as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter.

         Fuel-Tech N.V. acknowledges that:

         o    should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
              authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
              Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing.

         o    the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
              delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
              relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
              and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

         o    Fuel-Tech N.V. may not assert staff comments and the declaration
              of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
              Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
              United States.
