OTTAWA, ONTARIO / TheNewswire / December 13, 2018 – Thermal Energy International Inc.
(“Thermal Energy” or the “Company”)
(TSX-V: TMG), an innovative cleantech company and provider of proprietary energy efficiency and emissions reduction
solutions, has been commissioned by a multinational food and beverage conglomerate to add a second FLU-ACE®
to its existing heat recovery system.
This heat recovery project, valued at approximately $2.4 million, is an extension to the Company’s
proprietary FLU-ACE® technology already deployed at the beverage processing plant. This newest project is
expected to provide the multinational business with additional utility savings of approximately $415,000 per year.
This figure encompasses natural gas saving of approximately $385,000 and a reduction in water usage of approximately 8
million gallons annually, the equivalent to $30,000 a year.
Upon commissioning, Thermal Energy’s combined FLU-ACE®
and GEMTM systems installed on site are expected to reduce the customer’s fuel usage by
46% and reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 5,000 tonnes annually. This is equivalent to the amount of energy saved by
permanently removing more than 1,000 average passenger vehicles from the road.
The recovered heat will be used to displace steam currently heating the boiler makeup water and used within the
production process. The scope of this order covers all design, construction, commissioning and training for the
system.
“We have been working in partnership with this key account for a number of years. This is the latest in a
series of projects with the company as it seeks to improve energy efficiency and site sustainability across a number of
locations.” said William Crossland, CEO of Thermal Energy.
“For us, it also represents the first time that a second FLU-ACE®
has been installed at one of this key customer’s sites. Often, the challenge heat recovery projects face is
finding the best application to re-use the energy. However, by appreciating the business’s full process requirements, we have
identified additional sources and uses of the recovered heat.
“This FLU-ACE® project is a great example of how our technology can evolve to support
industry and of how our team of engineers works with sites to fully understand their needs in order to deliver the best
results.”
The project is expected to be completed and revenue earned within nine months.

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. Information as to the amount of heat recovered, energy savings and payback
period associated with Thermal Energy International’s products are based on the Company’s own testing and average customer results
to date. Statements relating to the expected installation and revenue recognition for projects, statements about the anticipated
effectiveness and lifespan of the Company’s products, statements about the expected environmental effects and cost savings
associated with the Company’s products and statements about the Company’s ability to cross-sell its products and sell to more sites
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
