WATERLOO, ONTARIO, CANADA - TurboSonic Technologies Inc., a global provider of clean air technologies, today announced in a press release that it has settled a patent infringement case brought by EnviroCare International Inc., related to its TurboSorb Spray-Dry Absorption (SDA) technology.
The EnviroCare patents apply only in the USA and Canada. As a consequence of this settlement, TurboSonic is licensed to pursue SDA opportunities in the US and Canada and continues to pursue opportunities in all international markets. The settlement will not have a material effect on TurboSonic’s finances.
SDA technology uses hydrated lime slurry for high efficiency removal of acid gases including sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and mercury in industries worldwide including Cement, Industrial Power Generation and Waste-to-Energy. This technology is noteworthy in that all sprayed liquid is evaporated, resulting in no wastewater by product to be treated or discharged.
Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO, said, “We are pleased to put this controversy behind us and continue to offer our proprietary SDA technology to customers in markets targeted by new US EPA regulations for SO2 emissions from industrial sources.”
TurboSonic Technologies designs and markets air pollution control technologies to industrial customers worldwide.
