ClearSign Demonstrates Technique to Provide Flame Stability up to 1,000,000 Btu/hr

ClearSign Combustion Corporation CLIR, an emerging leader in combustion and emissions control technology for industrial, commercial and utility markets, reported today that it has successfully demonstrated its proprietary Electrodynamic Combustion Control™ (ECC™) technology operating in a system with a thermal output of 1,000,000 Btus per hour. According to ClearSign CEO Rick Rutkowski, the scale-up milestone represents a major step in the path to commercializing the company's technology and comes several months ahead of schedule. "1,000,000 Btu/hr is widely accepted as a standard for demonstrating a commercially relevant scale of industrial burner technology," Rutkowski explained. "Indeed, there are many commercial burners that operate in the range of several hundred thousand Btu/hr to 1,000,000 Btu/hr. Our original target was to demonstrate ECC technology operating at this commercially relevant scale by the end of this year. Not only have we met our goal of 1,000,000 Btu/hr, but we were able to mark this achievement earlier than expected. "Our goal is to apply our ECC technology to enable combustion systems that deliver a mix of improved energy efficiency and/or process throughput combined with superior environmental performance," Rutkowski added. "Our earlier demonstrations have already attracted significant attention from prospective customers and from several leading combustion system OEMs and engineering and construction firms who have expressed interest in teaming with ClearSign to bring ECC technology to market. I believe this latest demonstration is going to be greeted with enthusiasm by prospective partners and customers in several market segments."
