Corporate development initiatives
Reinvent the Toilet
ISTP / indirect contact / dirty streams HX
Direct fired gas heater
Dry-Rex®
Cogeneration
All while maintaining primary focus on continued growth of core business
Reinvent the Toilet
2012 Demonstration at Reinvent the Toilet Fair in India
2014 grant to deploy in Alaska, but alternative approach taken (TEI / Climate Change Foundation not included)
Now looking to creating biochar with crop residues
Likely no Dry-Rex required, FLU-ACE® possible
Progress is in infancy stage, ultimate incorporation of our technologies not a certainty
Cooperation continuing
What is Cogeneration ?
ISTP / indirect heat exchanger
Currently buy and implement indirect contact condensing heat exchangers in heat recovery projects around the world
Look to brand / develop / acquire product
Look to develop unit for application to dirty streams (biomass)
Agreement in place with Canmet MATERIALS, Natural Resources Canada for exclusive use of patented metal-impregnated fluoropolymer coating
ISTP tests in China cut short due to limited production at test site
Looking to demonstrate locally
ISTP / indirect heat exchanger
Direct fired gas heater
FLU-ACE® with a burner
Allows more sales into “new build” rather than into retrofit space, also allows entry into smaller applications
Sells into a growing trend of hot water heating systems in the institutional / commercial market
Design complete, next steps - proto-type testing and permitting (TSSA) , or gain through acquisition
Direct fired gas heater
Dry-Rex
Market study completed (FY2016) revealing ideal market space (food & beverage, alternative pulp & paper applications)
Seeking partner for demonstration
Moved test lab to Ottawa in 2016
Completing paid study for relocation of decommissioned Dry-Rex in British Columbia to customer site in Ontario (still years away)
Promising product given move to renewables and match with FLU-ACE®
Dry-Rex
Cogeneration
Also known as CHP (Combined Heat & Power)
CHP is an integrated energy system that:
Generates electrical power
Recovers waste heat for space heating, water heating, process heating
Can utilize a variety of technologies and fuels
Cogeneration
Why cogeneration?
1) Price difference between natural gas and electricity expected to remain favorable
2) Provides clean power and protection from grid failure
3) Conservation programs – designed to reduce demand on the grid
4) Financial incentives (i.e. in Ontario, up to 40% of the project capital can be funded)
5) Distributed generation – more efficient to produce power locally.
Why cogeneration for TEI?
Proven track record
Completed heat recovery from numerous Cogen systems to drive overall efficiencies to the mid-90s
Our specialty
Heat recovery / waste heat use is the primary driver in determining CHP efficiency
Established relationships
We now have a great reputation with large established corporate clients executing CHP projects, allowing for ready market access
Why cogeneration for TEI?
Experienced team
We’ve grown and added experience related to Cogen on the sales and engineering sides
Leverage funding programs
Some locations (Ontario) have funding available for Cogen but not heat recovery. By bundling heat recovery with Cogen, the heat recovery also receives incentive funding
Governments and industries
around the world taking
unprecedented action on
climate change
Increasing energy efficiency is the cheapest
& easiest way to reduce GHG emissions
