TurboSonic Receives Order for European Biomass Gasification Project Valued at Approximately $1.5 Million
TurboSonic Technologies, Inc., a global provider of clean air technologies, announced receipt of an approximate $1.5-million order for the supply of a SonicKleen™ wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) system for a green energy project. The equipment is scheduled for delivery by June 2013.
The WESP system will remove particulate matter, acid mist and condensed oils and tars from a biomass gasifier in a waste-to-energy facility.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic, CEO, noted, “This is the second European biomass related contract awarded to TurboSonic this year and we are excited by the global increase in biomass projects for power generation. TurboSonic’s advanced technologies and reference base are well suited to the demands of this growing industry.”

TurboSonic Announces WESP Orders
TurboSonic Technologies, Inc. has announced the receipt of a US$1-million order for a SonicKleen™ Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP). It will reduce submicron particulate matter and sulfuric acid emissions from a steam generator used for enhanced oil recovery through steam injection. Equipment delivery is scheduled for the current fiscal year.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, commented, “This repeat order, the third order for an oil reservoir steam injection application, demonstrates that our customers recognize and value our technical excellence and innovation. Despite reports of continued international economic turmoil, our sales pipeline continues to grow.”
TurboSonic has also announced receipt of a US$2.7-million order for turnkey supply of a SonicKleen™ WESP to control particulate emissions from a wood pellet production plant. Project completion is scheduled for the 2012 calendar year. This customer is a leading supplier of wood-based panel and pellet production lines. The order is the first with this European customer and is for a pellet production facility under construction in the U.S. Demand for wood pellets as a biomass fuel is an increasingly important component of the global energy market. The use of wood pellets as fuel has been classified by the U.S. EPA to be a carbon neutral fuel source and the European market has increased its reliance on biofuels in place of burning coal for heat and power generation.

TurboSonic Awarded WESP Contract for Green Energy Project
TurboSonic Technologies, Inc. has been awarded a contract by a U.S. customer for its proprietary SonicKleen™ Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) technology for particulate removal for a green energy facility that will generate over 100 MW of power. Contract execution is subject to a “notice to proceed” expected in June 2011, with delivery scheduled for April 2012.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, noted, “The selection of TurboSonic’s SonicKleen™ WESP for this project was particularly gratifying because TurboSonic was selected as a result of an international competitive bidding process, conducted by an independent consulting engineer, involving a wide range of competitors, designs and technologies. We believe that the many patented advanced features of the SonicKleen™ WESP and our extensive design and application experience weighed heavily on our success. Given the current emphasis on energy efficiency, waste-to-energy and alternate fuel sources, this is a significant step in TurboSonic’s penetration of this new market.”

TurboSonic Awarded Order for Approximately $900,000 for Clean Air Technology
TurboSonic Technologies, Inc., a global provider of clean air technologies, announced that it was awarded an order for approximately US$900,000 for its Turbotak Scrubber technology by a U.S. facility producing oriented strand board (OSB). TurboSonic expects the emissions control system to be delivered and installed during the current calendar year.
TurboSonic has marketed Turbotak Scrubbers since their invention in the 1970s. The Turbotak Scrubber is a proven, versatile technology that simultaneously removes particulate and acid gases from industrial process gas streams. It has been successfully applied to applications in many industries, with installations operating for decades without significant maintenance requirements.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, stated, “TurboSonic is a leading technology supplier to the wood products industry for dryer and press emissions control. This order represents the third major equipment order from the same international company for OSB press emissions control, and is another example of our objective to target large multinational companies in our markets. The patented Turbotak Scrubber selected for this project will be employed to saturate process gases and control emissions upstream of a biofilter.”

TurboSonic Announces Receipt of $2-Million Contract
TurboSonic Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of clean air technologies, announced the receipt of a US$2-million contract for the design and supply of SO2 abatement equipment for Essroc Italcementi’s Martinsburg, WV plant. This is the second contract awarded to TurboSonic this fiscal year by Italcementi for this plant, the first of which was for a SoniCool™ Evaporative Cooling System, announced in July 2008. Italcementi is one of the world’s largest producers and distributors of cement, with operations in twenty-two countries worldwide.
This latest contract is for TurboSonic’s TurboSorb Semi-Dry Absorption (SDA) technology for the reduction of SO2 emissions — a major concern worldwide because of the hazardous health effects (respiratory illness) and negative environmental impact, such as acid rain, which occurs when SO2 is emitted to the atmosphere. TurboSorb SDA technology uses TurboSonic’s patented Turbotak spray atomization technology for effective control of acid gas emissions, which has been employed in the waste incineration and power generation industries. Equipment is scheduled for delivery this calendar year.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, stated, “This is another contract won through the collaboration of our North American and European offices and yet another repeat order from a large, multi-national corporation, consistent with our strategy of focusing on building long-term loyalty and growth through customer satisfaction. With its 63 plants worldwide, Italcementi certainly fits into our vision for growth
