TURBOSONIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC Bulletin Board - TSTA)
today announced the successful start-up of an industrial
waste fuel combustion system at a cement plant in Romania,
the first such operation for TurboSonic in Europe. The
installation involves fluidization and injection of heavy
petroleum wastes from local refineries which lowers fuel costs
for the cement plant and provides environmental remediation
for the refineries. The TurboSonic atomizing spray nozzle
systems are capable of creating fine droplets even with heavy
sludge, ensuring optimum combustion of the waste fuels.
TurboSonic also completed the start-up of two
evaporative gas cooling systems, one at a cement plant in
India and the other at a PT INCO nickel smelter plant expansion
in Indonesia. Both installations rely on TurboSonic's air
atomizing spray nozzle systems, used extensively in the Cement,
Metals and Waste Incineration industries, to cool off-gases prior
to treatment in pollution abatement equipment. TurboSonic has
over 450 evaporative gas conditioning systems worldwide.
"Over the last year, the Company has made a
significant investment in marketing its products on a
worldwide basis. The start-up of these installations
reflect the success of these marketing efforts." said Ed Spink,
President and CEO of the Company.
TurboSonic Technologies designs and markets proprietary air pollution control technologies to
industrial customers worldwide. Its products are designed to meet and exceed the strictest
emissions regulations, improve performance, reduce operating costs and recover valuable by-products.
Industries served include Pulp & Paper, Metals & Mining, Cement, Waste Processing & Incineration,
