A Successful Showcase of Expansion Into the Coal Chemical Segment
Multi-million Dollar Energy Costs Can Be Potentially Saved Annually for the Repeat Customer
SHANGHAI, March 10 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- 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, today
announced the completion of the order to make a series of waste heat recovery
boilers for Jiangsu Sopo Chemical Group ('Sopo Group'), a repeat customer of
CER. These waste heat recovery boilers are for Sopo Group's new methanol
production facility to support its main acetic acid manufacturing plant. Sopo
Group is a leading Chinese integrated chemical company and China's largest and
world's third largest producer of acetic acid (glacial), one of the major
basic chemicals for industrial uses.
The total contract value of the order amounts to RMB13.6 million
(approximately US$2.0 million at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of
release), among which RMB7.3 million (approximately US$1.1 million) were
completed in 2008.
The new methanol facility has an annual production capacity of 600,000
tons. The series of waste heat recovery boilers that CER makes will altogether
generate roughly a total of 200 tons of steam per hour from waste heat energy
captured from methanol production. The steam will be reused in the production
processes. The utilization of the steam generated could roughly translate into
a 44 MW power generation capacity. Based on the steam to be utilized, it is
expected to help achieve an annual saving of roughly 95,040 tons of coal (coal
equivalent), which would otherwise be required to produce the same amount of
power, and subsequently the reduction of roughly 252,800 tons of carbon
dioxide emission each year.
'We are happy to see that our long-term customer, Sopo Group, is growing
in the current difficult market environment,' commented Mr. Qinghuan Wu, CER's
CEO, 'the successful completion of this order demonstrates that our company
has the necessary capabilities to supply waste heat recovery systems to the
coal chemical segment that has been identified as one of China's strategically
focused fields to develop in the years to come.'
The numbers presented above are the contract value and include a 17% Value
Added Tax and the retainage amount for product warranty purposes which is 5%
of the contract value and will be recognized as deferred revenue. The numbers
