Business Wire, July 22, 2010
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. — Energy Composites Corporation (ECC) (NASDAQ OTC:ENCC) a leading
provider of composites-based solutions to the clean-tech sector, today
announced that it has completed production on two large diameter
integral flanged duct spools for use in a flue gas desulfurization (FGD)
installation. The spools represent the companys latest work for the $10
billion FGD market. ECC expects to deliver the spools this month.
Utilities in the United States face a 2015 regulatory deadline for
mitigating the emission of sulfur dioxide from coal-fired power plants
in compliance with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The most
effective mitigation strategy is the use of FGD scrubbers, which require
very large composites-based structures that are both abrasion and
corrosion resistant. ECC expects the FGD market to grow through 2015 as
utilities make final decisions on their compliance strategies.
ECC builds scrubber components using Class I Premium Grade Fire
Retardant Vinylester Resin, Boron Free fiberglass materials and 100 mil
Carbon Veil liners to create required conductivity for the units.
The contract with a large engineering firm requires the fabrication of a
sixteen-foot diameter, 24 foot long spool and an eighteen-foot diameter,
26 foot spool. Both spools are made in one piece construction and
self-supported with fiberglass reinforced plastic saddles attached.
Innovative thinking won us this contract, Jamie Mancl, ECCs founder
and President, noted. Being able to produce structures this large in
our climate controlled facilities allows us to ensure the highest level
of quality while delivering cost effective solutions to our clients
