Maine Test Burn Update

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

The second qualification trial was completed during the week of October 13. BioOil® was combusted under high fire conditions to produce the required heat load and stack temperature. All emissions data were in line with expectations.

Having completed tests on a small scale hot water boiler, the State of Maine, Bureau of General Services, Property Management Division is now considering BioOil utilization on a larger steam boiler where BioOil operating parameters can be optimized.

On October 2nd & 3rd a customer qualification trial was conducted at the State Capitol Complex in Augusta, Maine.

During the trial, BioOil® displaced # 2 diesel fuel in a Cleaver Brooks hot water boiler and cycled for several hours to produce and maintain the required heat load. The BioOil® burned at the specified operating conditions and produced a bright, stable flame geometry.

Dynamotive worked with the State of Maine, Bureau of General Services, Property Management Division to complete this trial and both parties view the test as a first step in displacing # 2 diesel fuel with BioOil®. Discussions are now underway with Maine officials to plan the next steps.

Since the restart of West Lorne’s operations in late July, two customer qualification trials have been conducted and a total of 8 product shipments, BioOil® & CQuest™ Biochar, have been made to clients for commercial use and to prospective clients. Shipments from West Lorne will continue in October for additional market development and customer shipments.
