The landmark project, with an order value of approximately $300,000, leverages Thermal Energy’s expertise in low-temperature heating systems. The initiative will see an existing FLU-ACE® Heat Recovery Unit being used to support a solar thermal system already in operation at the site. It is an important step towards advancing the Company in the sustainable energy space.
Upon deployment, solar thermal heated water will further heat the direct contact FLU-ACE condensing circuit in a process whereby waste heat and water is condensed and recovered from the boiler plant exhausts. It is estimated that the addition of the solar thermal technology will increase this measure’s efficiency by over 15% and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 374 tonnes CO2e per year.
“We are pleased to announce the receipt of another significant order from this corporate account,” said William Crossland, CEO of Thermal Energy.
“Our acknowledged success to date in recovering and utilizing low-grade waste heat at the business’s facilities has led to our selection for this project."
“This is the latest in a series of projects conducted with this key client. While it is not the highest value order the company has placed with us, it demonstrates our continued commitment to working together and their confidence in our ability to broaden our scope by including sustainable solar solutions.”
The project is expected to be completed and revenue earned within six months.

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, and amongst other things, based 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.
