Enerji Enters JV Agreement With Sinclair Knight Mertz

September 11th, 2009

Enerji Ltd (ERJ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a technology sharing agreement  with one  of  Australia’s  premier  engineering firms,  Sinclair  Knight Merz (SKM). The  two  companies  have  entered  into  this  agreement  due  to  the  proactive  interest  shown  by Sinclair Knight  Merz  in  Enerji’s recovered  energy  systems. Under the terms of the agreement, Enerji will provide SKM detailed technical information in relation to its recovered energy systems on a non-exclusive basis. In particular, Enerji will furnish information on Opcon AB’s Powerbox and Airec’s heat exchangers.   Both  of these  technologies are world  leaders in  the  capture  of  heat  and  its  conversion  into electricity  and  are  exclusive  to Enerji (through CoGen ORC Power) in Australia.

Sinclair Knight Merz approached Enerji to consider the viability of using waste heat at a number of their  clients’  sites  after  studying  Enerji’s  recovered  energy  plans  and  conducting  research  into alternatives. SKM’s Manager Strategic Consulting, Mr Geoff Glazier, said “SKM recognizes that Enerji’s ORC power solution has strong potential to become an “off the shelf” solution for  capturing  and  utilising  the low  to  medium  grade  heat generated  by many  industrial processes that, until now, has been emitted as waste. As  an  integral  part  of  its global  sustainability  strategy,  SKM  is  continuously  seeking  to understand  technologies  that  can  improve  the  sustainability  of  our  clients  businesses.    This Technology  Sharing  Agreement  will  provide  access  to  information  that  will  allow  us  to  fully appreciate the application and limitations of Enerji’s ORC power solution.”
