Encore Clean Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: ECLN) is pleased to announce that a prototype unit of the company's ELIMINATOR(TM) technology is being constructed at the company's test facility in Pass Christian, MS.
The ELIMINATOR prototype has been designed as an improvement to the Company's low temperature, vapor powered hydraulic HEATSEEKER(TM) thermal engine technology, which produced significant power from a temperature differential of only 25 degrees F., using a geothermal heat source of 90 degrees F. hot water and ambient temperature heat rejection to surface water of 65 degrees F.
The ELIMINATOR is also designed to be independently applied to any existing Rankine cycle power plant. It is expected to benefit nuclear and coal-fired power plants around the world by improving power plant output efficiencies and reducing power plant emissions-intensity (pollution per MW).
The ELIMINATOR will innovatively use a series of pressurized tanks and valves to replace an entire process required by the Rankine steam cycle that is used in all existing nuclear and coal-fired power plants - pumping the liquid phase working fluid from the condenser (that is at low pressure) into the vaporizer (that is at high pressure) by use of an electric pump. By eliminating the parasitic energy load of the electric pump on a Rankine steam cycle, the ELIMINATOR recovers this energy as usable electricity that a power plant could then sell, increasing its revenues.
Dan Hunter, CEO of Encore Clean Energy, Inc, commented, "71% of America's electricity and 75% of China's comes from power plants that could use the ELIMINATOR to increase their operating efficiencies, while reducing their emission intensity."
The creator of the Encore ELIMINATOR, Mr. Robert Hunt, adds, "Nuclear and coal-fired power plants in America produce 2.7 trillion kilowatt-hours a year of electricity. If these power plants improved their operating efficiencies by as little as 5%, it could help America meet its growing demand for new supplies of electricity by generating enough clean energy to power over 13.5 million U.S. households without importing or burning any additional costly fossil fuels."
The Company intends to solicit the cooperation and strategic partnership of major power plant engineering and construction companies worldwide to help create a power plant retrofit business, marketing the company's HEATSEEKER and ELIMINATOR technologies to their existing power plant customers. Nuclear and coal-fired power plant owners have the most to gain from the economic, environmental and public relations benefits generated by Encore's technologies, which can help reduce our dependence on foreign energy imports.
