WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Feb 12, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
TURBOSONIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTCBB: TSTA), a leading provider of
air pollution control technologies, today announced receipt of an
order for a SonicKleen(TM) 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(TM) WESP for
removal of contaminants from the gas stream to maximize the
efficiency of the amine in selectively capturing CO2. Our
SonicKleen(TM) 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.
