Company Announced the Sale of its Patented Emissions Reduction System to the Gage Canal Company which Supplies Water for Irrigation and other Uses
Tecogen®Inc. (NASDAQ:TGEN) announced the sale of its patented emissions reduction system to the Gage Canal Company inRiverside, California. The Gage Canal Company, in operation since the 1880's, supplies water for irrigation and other uses in the area. The 20 mile canal system is known for its historic significance to the development ofSouthern Californiaand, in particular, the expansion of citrus agriculture in the region.
The emissions after-treatment system will be applied to an existing 15 liter natural gas-fueled Caterpillar engine that pumps below-ground well water to the canal. The Tecogen Ultra emissions system is being sold as a retrofit kit to the Gage Canal Company. The kit closely resembles the design of the Ultra system in operation since 2013 at the nearby Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) Booster Station located inMoreno Valley, California. The EMWD installation was the subject of a Companypress releasetwo months ago detailing their purchase of an additional Ultra system for a 48 liter biofuel engine at their Moreno Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility.
"When we heard about Tecogen's after-treatment system, we arranged a visit to the EMWD demonstration site and came away impressed," saidRoss Lewis, the Gage Canal Company's General Manager. "The system is straightforward and appears highly effective. We are optimistic that our experience will duplicate the EMWD's of hassle-free emission compliance. If so, we will explore retrofit opportunities with our other engines."
"This sale is part of our strategy to place Ultra systems with both public and private water companies that operate multiple engines facing emissions compliance issues," saidRobert Panora, Tecogen COO. "The initial sale toGage Canalwill serve to provide confidence in our system to other water companies. We expectGage Canalwill purchase additional systems and, of course, inform others in the industry about their positive experience."
