$14,500,000 in New Contracts Powers CoaLogix’s Growth
 

Charlotte, NC, September 21, 2009 – CoaLogix Inc., a leader in clean coal solutions, announced today that its SCR-Tech, LLC subsidiary has been awarded several new contracts for selective catalyst reduction (SCR) regeneration and management services worth approximately $14.5 million. Several of these contracts are to support customers over multiple years. CoaLogix, a leader in SCR environmental services for electric utilities, received these new contracts from five separate electric utility companies, which consist of both new and existing customers.   

Beginning immediately, these customers will receive benefits of CoaLogix’s integrated leading-edge technologies, highly-skilled workforce, and more than 160 years of combined senior management experience in the environmental and power generation industries to provide innovative, cost-effective solutions that help our customers achieve and maintain compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.  

Over the past seven years, CoaLogix has proven that regenerated catalyst costs less than new, can be available faster than purchasing new SCR catalyst, significantly reduces landfill burden and has a much lower CO2 footprint than new catalyst.  To date, CoaLogix has regenerated over 15,000 modules of catalyst, many during the actual plant outages. In addition, CoaLogix has over 23,000 MW under contract for catalyst services, which represents about 20% of all SCRs in the United States.

Bill McMahon, CEO and President of CoaLogix commented,” We are extremely pleased that we have been chosen as the strategic supplier for these contracts. Three of the five contracts are first-time users of regenerated catalyst and we are honored that they chose SCR-Tech because of our experience and value we add to their overall emissions strategy.  Our new facility in Charlotte, which more than doubles our manufacturing space, provides our customers with confidence that we will be able to meet their needs in the coming years. Our growth is a tribute to our employees, investors and most important our loyal customers."
