Dynamotive’s West Lorne Plant Back in Operation; BioOil Production Restarted July 17th
Vancouver, B.C. - Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation (OTCBB:DYMTF) announced that production of BioOil® from its West Lorne plant commenced on Thursday, July 17 approximately 3 months from the time operations were disrupted due to the fire on April 10. The plant repairs were led by Dynamotive’s engineering department, with the support of Tecna S.A., Tepsi S.A. and local suppliers. The repairs included key reactor modifications that were verified during June at the Guelph plant. Costs of these repairs are covered by insurance, except for a standard non-material deductible. During the week of July 21, Dynamotive will be conducting BioOil production tests on behalf of a client using biomass sourced from Asia. Following these test operations, production will resume the week of August 4 when Erie Flooring, Dynamotive’s sawdust supplier and partner, resumes operations after its 2 week annual summer shutdown. This successful restart puts Dynamotive back on track to supply BioOil for current customers, power generation, and new customer product qualification trials.About Dynamotive
Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation is an energy solutions provider headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with offices in the USA and Argentina. Its carbon/greenhouse gas neutral fast pyrolysis technology uses medium temperatures and oxygen-less conditions to turn dry, waste cellulosic biomass into BioOil for power and heat generation. BioOil can be further converted into vehicle fuels and chemicals. Photographs of the Guelph and West Lorne plants may be seen on the company's website. www.dynamotive.comAbout BioOil® Biofuel
BioOil® is an industrial fuel produced from cellulose waste material. When combusted it produces substantially less smog-precursor nitrogen oxides (‘NOx’) emissions than conventional oil as well as little or no sulfur oxide gases (‘SOx’), which are a prime cause of acid rain. BioOil® and BioOil Plus™ are price-competitive replacements for heating oils #2 and #6 that are widely used in industrial boilers and furnaces. They have been EcoLogo certified, having met stringent environmental criteria for industrial fuels as measured by Environment Canada’s Environmental Choice Program. BioOil® can be produced from a variety of residue cellulosic biomass resources and is not dependent on food-crop production.
