Thermal Energy Receives $4 million Purchase Order from Kruger Products
Limited to provide FLU-ACE(R) Heat Recovery Solution
The purchase order was issued following the successful completion of the project development phase during which time a number of options and potential solutions were evaluated in close cooperation with the customer.

Assuming all aspects of the purchase order are reflected in the definitive agreements, the project is expected to be completed over the next several quarters with approximately
Subject to execution of definitive agreements, in connection with the project Thermal Energy will design, fabricate and install the FLU-ACE(R) heat recovery solution on two paper machines which is expected to reduce consumption of fossil fuel at the mill by more than 20%, based on pre project engineering work performed by Thermal Energy and Kruger Products Limited. This in turn is expected to lower the facility's GHG emissions by 10,000 tonnes of CO(2), or the equivalent of removing nearly 2,500 cars from Canada's highways annually or planting 1.3 million trees.
"This very important project will significantly improve our energy efficiency and strengthen our environmental position," said Frank van Biesen, Vice President of Technology for Kruger Products Limited. "We are committed to an aggressive sustainability plan and this project addresses one aspect by significantly lowering our carbon footprint."
"Over the last several months Thermal Energy has worked closely with the Kruger Products Limited team to develop this customized solution. We are now very pleased to be delivering the financial and environmental benefits of this very important project for our customer. We look forward to finalizing definitive contracts and commencing fabrication and installation of the project," said Thermal Energy President and CEO
