Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources Secures $1.4 Million of Purchase Orders for its H2SPlus(TM) Hydrogen Sulfide Removal System - Seite 2

"At expected flow rates and projected H2S concentrations, the two projects incorporating 8-vessel systems in total will require approximately 20,000 cubic feet of MV's BioActive Media on an annual replacement basis," said Tom Jones, president of MV. "To further enable MV to realize the growing market opportunity, we are actively expanding both our domestic and international sales footprint with strategic partnerships. MV has recently entered into business development agreements with three senior marketing representatives with extensive landfill gas experience on the east coast of the United States. We concentrated our initial efforts on the Eastern U.S. because of its high population centers and landfill site concentrations as well as its stringent emission regulations. We are now looking at the west coast to establish similar arrangements.

"Most recently we've established a strategic partnership with one of the world's largest biogas upgrading companies to represent MV in the New Zealand, Australian and Southeast Asian markets. This relationship is in response to recent regulatory pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emission from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). The increased demand for palm oil has increased the number of installations of anaerobic digesters to create and capture methane in a controlled manner. Most POME facilities intend to use the biogas to generate electricity to offset their electrical needs and their reliance on fossil fuels. The biogas from the POME has high concentrations of H₂S that must be removed before it can be economically utilized to generate electricity. There are over 1,000 POME facilities in Southeast Asia that will have to remove H₂S from their biogas if they intend to utilize this resource," explained Jones.

"I am also encouraged by the recent changes in the emission standards required by the EPA, which dramatically increases the number of landfills that will be required to install landfill gas (LFG) collection systems," continued Jones. "As the regulations become stricter, it increases MV's opportunity to sell more treatments systems and the continued ongoing sales of the associated BAM to remove H₂S from the landfill gas."

Landfill Gas
Landfill gas (LFG) is created when organic waste in a municipal solid waste landfill decomposes. This gas consists of about 50% methane (the primary component of natural gas), about 50% carbon dioxide (CO2), and a small amount of non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs). Instead of being allowed to escape into the air, LFG can be captured, converted, and used as an energy source. Using LFG helps to reduce odors and other hazards associated with LFG emissions, and helps prevent methane from being emitted into the atmosphere and contributing to local smog and global climate change.
