CANADA SUCCESSFULLY TESTS FLUFF PELLETS AS ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE
September 15, 2008, Quebec, Canada— A project involving Canadian companies and local government tested ten tons of Fluff in the first of a three-part trial to see if Fluff can be used as a source for the development of alternative energy. An independent testing laboratory in Canada used thermal oxidation with the first shipment of Fluff pellets to see how it performed, and all tests were completed satisfactorily.
The second phase of testing will perform the same tests on pellitized Fluff. Twenty tons of pellets have been manufactured and were shipped in mid-October to Canada for testing. The third and final phase of testing will involve 200 metric tons of palletized Fluff, and will be completed by the end of November, 2008. There has been interest expressed in the eventual purchase of a Wastaway system to generate fluff to produce energy in Canada if all tests are satisfactory completed.
