SEATTLE, Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSign Combustion
Corporation (NASDAQ: CLIR), an emerging leader in industrial combustion technologies that reduce emissions and improve
efficiency, today announced the completion, customer acceptance and issuance of payment for the final phase of a multiphase
project. This project successfully retrofitted Duplex™ technology into enclosed ground flares for a major California oil producer.
"With the close of this initial project we have penetrated a new market vertical and demonstrated a broader application for
our Duplex Technology. Our initial analysis shows that there are over 2000 enclosed ground flares in the U.S. alone that
would greatly benefit in reduced emissions through the use of ClearSign's Duplex technology," said Steve
Pirnat, ClearSign's Chairman and CEO. "At the onset of the project we were presented with a challenging emissions
situation and were able to provide a solution for the producer with an application of our Duplex technology. We are
extremely pleased that we are able to satisfy the customer's demanding performance requirements, and look forward to working with
them on future projects."
This contract was previously announced, and was ordered through Advanced Combustion and Process Controls, the oil producer's
prime contractor and ClearSign's representative in Southern California. ClearSign's Duplex technology achieved
environmental emissions that satisfied the most stringent air regulations within California.
The results of the testing were independently confirmed by the customer and Advanced Combustion and Process Controls.
This project consisted of retrofitting multiple units, including larger capacity units, and brought them in line with
requested performance characteristics. This multi-phase project is the first application of ClearSign technology for the ground
flare market. The companies and contractor are in discussions for future flare projects.
Additionally, Mr. Joseph Colannino, ClearSign's Senior Vice President of Engineering, has
tendered his resignation and expressed to us his desire to pursue other interests effective the middle of February. Mr.
Colannino's duties will be absorbed by other staff without causing any gaps in coverage.
"I want to thank Joe for his contribution to ClearSign over the years. I have known Joe personally and professionally for
many years and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Joe has been a valuable asset to the company throughout his
tenure, and we can credit him with helping advance us from an R & D company into full commercial applications in the
market. I thank him for all he has done," said Steve Pirnat.
