The company is installing small gas and coal-fired boilers as part of an experiment, to increase boiler efficiency while reducing their output of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxides in the flue gas.
Low-cost chemicals in the NT Plasmatron will first be gasified and then injected into the boilers.
W2 Energy president and CEO Mike McLaren said the versatile and efficient NT Plasmatron can cost-effectively convert inexpensive chemicals into valuable gaseous and combustion enhancers for every commercial boiler.
"W2 Energy will tap this enormous market, which will add to our bottom line and help our clients save money and reduce their impact on the environment. Great business for all involved."
Previously, W2 Energy connected a Plasmatron to a boiler at the University of North Dakota combustion laboratory, fed it ferrocene and then ported the resulting gases into the boiler.
This reduced the carbon monoxide levels in the flue gas and increased boiler efficiency.
