TURBOSONIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC Bulletin Board – TSTA), a leading provider of air pollution control technologies, today announced receipt of an order for a SonicKleen™ Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) system valued at approximately US$1 million that will be employed in a CO2 sequestration demonstration project on a coal-fired power plant in Europe. This project is intended to determine the degree of CO2 absorption and sequestration efficiencies that can be achieved.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, stated “This amine-based CO2 sequestration project in Europe will use the SonicKleen™ WESP for removal of contaminants from the gas stream to maximize the efficiency of the amine in selectively capturing CO2. Our SonicKleen™ WESP technology is ideally suited for CO2 absorption processes, with its ability to collect fine particulate, acid mist and heavy metals that would otherwise interfere with the amine’s high efficiency CO2 absorption.”
Citing the allocation of $2.4 billion in the U.S.Senate's economic stimulus bill for CO2 sequestration research and development as evidence of the "green" push that is taking place on an international scale, Mr. Spink expressed his belief that "WESP technology is a key step in reducing emission levels from coal-fired combustion to approach that of natural gas combustion for power generation and TurboSonic is well positioned to assume a leading role in the worldwide effort to abate air pollution."
TurboSonic Technologies (www.turbosonic.com) designs and markets air pollution control technologies to industrial customers worldwide. Its products help companies in the Cement and Mineral Processing, Ethanol, Metals & Mining, Petrochemicals, Power Generation, Pulp & Paper, Waste Incineration, and Wood Products industries meet the strictest emissions regulations, improve performance and reduce operating costs.
