Cyclone Power Technologies and Phoenix Power Group Generate Clean Power from Used Motor Oil
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Cyclone
Power Technologies (Pink Sheets: CYPW) and its licensee Phoenix
Power Group have successfully powered-up the Phoenix 10,
producing grid-tied electricity from the clean combustion of used motor
oil. The event demonstrated the successful functionality of the first
ever small-scale waste oil power generator, and marks the
commencement of full system performance and durability testing.
The Phoenix 10 is a unique renewable power system designed
specifically for the small business owner. Once in production, slated to
commence later this year, the Phoenix 10 will allow thousands of
automotive service centers to recycle their used motor oil in an environmentally-friendly
and profitable manner. The system is powered by Cyclone's WHE-25
engine with a clean-burning combustion chamber designed for the rigors
of used motor oil. Coupled with a grid-tied generator, the system
produces up to 10kW of power that can off-set a facility's peak
electricity consumption.
"We are thrilled with the initial full-system tests of the Phoenix 10,
and truly believe we witnessed a historic event," stated Thomas V.
Thillen, President of Phoenix. "This is new breed of renewable power
generator - one that will provide garages and lube centers
throughout the world an immediate revenue producing opportunity
from the disposal of their waste materials."
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, waste oil
from one oil change can contaminate 1 million gallons of fresh water.
The Phoenix 10 presents a true economic incentive for
users of motor oil to dispose of their waste in an environmentally
friendly manner instead of one which can cause great harm to our water
supply. In tests conducted by an independent third party, the Phoenix
10 running on used motor oil generated 30% less SO2 and almost 50%
less NOx than a comparable generator running on diesel fuel.
