TURBOSONIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC Bulletin Board - TSTA) today announced that it has
finalized the terms of its strategic alliance with
EnSenTech Energy Corporation. EnSenTech
Energy Corp, located in Bountiful, Utah, was recently formed to commercialize a high-speed
conveyance technology, the principles of which were discovered during the development of
rocket fuel technology for the U.S. Space Program and which are incorporated in this
technology. In addition, EnSenTech Energy products include plasma technology for waste
destruction and energy creation and pyrolosis technology. TurboSonic, in addition to receiving
a 5% equity interest in EnSenTech Energy, will provide project management and engineering
services for the new company and supply its air pollution equipment for appropriate projects.
EnSenTech Energy and TurboSonic are currently developing an engineering proposal for a major
Canadian company, which has a critical hazardous waste problem. The proposal is intended to
demonstrate how the EnSenTech Energy conveyance and plasma technology will safely and cost-effectively
move the hazardous waste material to the plasma unit for waste destruction and energy creation.
EnSenTech Energy and TurboSonic are also in the process of setting up a full-scale demonstration,
scheduled for early April, of the conveyance technology for various U.S. government agencies and
interested potential industrial users.
Edward F. Spink, TurboSonic's Chairman and CEO stated: "I am very excited about our strategic
alliance with EnSenTech Energy and the opportunity it gives TurboSonic to provide our project
management and engineering expertise in the commercialization of the EnSenTech Energy technologies.
TurboSonic will also have full rights to directly market the group's technologies. In my opinion,
these new technologies have wide-reaching applications in many industries and have the potential
to become a major profitable contributor to TurboSonic's business." Mr. Spink also stated that
TurboSonic's air pollution technology would form an integral part of many of the systems that
will use the EnSenTech Energy technology, thereby expanding the markets for the combined products.
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, Power Generation
and Petrochemicals.
