✦ Synopsis

Corp, an integrated technologies company that develops and commercialises patented water treatment and clean energy technologies, has announced the start of a US$310,000 federally funded project to develop compact zero air emission power plants for medium to heavy industry.

Commonly referred to as Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plants, these systems would allow mainstream industries to switch from natural gas to lower priced alternative fuels to supply their energy needs. This could allow many companies to save hundreds of millions of dollars in energy costs, reduce air pollution, keep their US based plants operating, and lessen dependence on imported energy resources, the company claims.

The CHP plants would be based on ThermoEnergy's advanced patented zero air emission power plant Ther-moEnergy Integrated Power System (TIPS). TIPS eliminates the atmospheric emissions of NOx, SOx, mercury, and particulates from power plants that run on coal, oil, natural gas or biomass. It can also capture and recovers carbon dioxide in pressurized liquid form for sequestration or beneficial reuse.
