Thermal Energy Receives $3.6 Million Heat Recovery Order from Major Pulp and Paper Company
(via Thenewswire.ca)
OTTAWA, ONTARIO - June 3, 2013 - Thermal Energy International Inc. (TSXV: TMG), a leading provider of custom energy and emission reduction technologies for energy intensive industries and institutions worldwide, today announced that it has received a purchase order valued at approximately $3.6 million for the installation of a heat recovery system for a major North American pulp and paper company. The heat recovery system is expected to be installed and revenue earned over the next 12 months.
As previously reported, on December 17, 2010, Thermal Energy signed a Letter of Intent with the major North American pulp and paper company outlining the two parties' intent to develop and, subject to financing and approval by the pulp and paper company's Board of Directors, implement on an exclusive basis heat recovery projects at three of the customer's locations. The $3.6 million order announced today represents the project developed at the first location. The second location did not support a viable project and the pulp and paper company has decided not to proceed with a project at the third location at this time.
"This heat recovery order demonstrates the significance of our projects in paid or exclusive development and the time investment many of these large projects require," said William Crossland, President and CEO of Thermal Energy International. "We have multiple paid development projects currently in the pipeline that are being developed and finalized by our engineering team while our sales team and distribution networks continue to generate additional project opportunities in our key markets."
The heat recovery system to be installed is calculated by Thermal Energy to reduce carbon emissions by over 8,100 tonnes annually, reduce the facility's steam requirements by over 13%, and reduce the facility's oil consumption by over 25%. The energy savings alone are expected to pay for the capital cost of the project in 1.1 years after application of available government support.
