OTTAWA, ONTARIO / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / January 5 2015 / Thermal Energy International Inc. ("Thermal Energy" or the "Company") (TSXV: TMG), a global provider of proprietary energy efficiency solutions to the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors, announced today that it has received a heat recovery order valued at approximately $260 thousand from a leading regional manufacturer of interior lining products including plaster, plasterboard, metal and ceiling solutions for the construction industry. The order is expected to be fulfilled and revenue earned over the next six months.
"This is an initial order from a customer operating in a new market sector for our products," said William Crossland, CEO of Thermal Energy. "The order announced today is for a trial-sized heat recovery system, with the expectation that once the product demonstrates its effectiveness the customer would move forward with a full-scale system. Moreover, this customer has several other sites that would benefit from our energy efficiency products, and so we look forward to developing additional projects with this customer and within this market sector in the future."
The heat recovery system to be installed is expected to result in a payback period of about two years.
With this order Thermal Energy's order backlog currently stands at approximately $4.2 million of which approximately $0.5 million is related to long-term contracts and is not expected to be reflected in revenue within the next 12 months. Thermal Energy includes in "order backlog" all purchase orders received for product or services that have not yet been reflected as revenue in the Company's published financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, and amongst other things, based on management's expectations, estimates and projections, the anticipated effectiveness of the Company's products and services and the timing of revenues to be received by the Company. Statements relating to the expected installation and revenue recognition for projects, statements about the anticipated effectiveness and lifespan of the Company's products and statements about the expected environmental effects and cost savings associated with the Company's products are forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, some of which are outside of the Company's control, could cause events and results to differ materially from those stated. Fulfilment of orders, installation of product and activation of product could all be delayed for a number of reasons, some of which are outside of the Company's control, which would result in anticipated revenues from such projects being delayed or in the most serious cases eliminated. Actions taken by the Company's customers and factors inherent in the customer's facilities but not anticipated by the Company can have a negative impact on the expected effectiveness and lifespan of the Company's products and on the expected environmental effects and cost savings expected from the Company's products. Additional heat recovery and GEM(R) steam trap projects being developed by the Company may not result in orders for the Company's products. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any such statements except as required by law.
