China Energy Recovery, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CGYV) (ISIN: US16943V2060; "CER"), a leader in the waste heat energy recovery sector of the industrial energy efficiency industry, announced today that a new sulfuric acid plant (the ''New Plant'') of Sichuan Chemical, which CER designed and supplied its waste heat recovery system and other equipment for in 2008, started the official operation on
February 24, 2009. The New Plant has been successfully operating on a trial basis since
August 2008. Sichuan Chemical, located in
Sichuan province where the
May 2008 earthquake occurred, is one of the largest synthetic ammonia and nitrogen fertilizer producers in
China.
The New Plant is designed to produce 300,000 tons of sulfuric acid annually and generate 52.8 tons of steam per hour from waste heat energy captured during production. The steam is reused in the production process. The utilization of the steam generated roughly translates to 10MW power generation capacity. This project has enabled Sichuan Chemical to expand its production capacity while improving energy efficiency and meeting mandated environmental requirements. The New Plant is expected to achieve an annual saving of roughly 23,800 tons of coal (coal equivalent), which would otherwise be required to produce the same amount of power, and subsequently the reduction of roughly 63,200 tons of carbon dioxide emission each year.
CER has again demonstrated its strong design and engineering capability to build new chemical plants and integrate energy recovery technology into the plants so as to help the industrial customers improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution.
