TurboSonic Technologies, Inc. Announces Successful Start-up of Three International Projects

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.
