October 10, 2007 RENO, NEVADA – At the 2007 Geothermal Energy Association Trade Show, first time participant, ElectraTherm, Inc. (ET), of Carson City, earned “Best of Show” honors, having exhibited its innovative, compact, 50 kilowatt Waste Heat Generator. ElectraTherm’s small scale power systems convert geothermal and industrial waste heat or pressure into emission free electricity. Top engineers in the field served as judges who selected ElectraTherm from among 55 distinguished exhibitors at the show which brought together 1500 participants from 34 countries.
“We were especially impressed with the real power facility ElectraTherm displayed in the tradeshow hall” said Karl Gawell, Executive Director of the GEA. “ElectraTherm’s win … speaks to their potential for innovation and success into the future. Companies like ElectraTherm help make the GEA annual trade show a success. We look forward to working with ElectraTherm into the future.”
The GEA’s Trade Show, held October 1-3 at John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Sparks (Reno), Nevada, is the largest international event for the geothermal power industry. The show is held annually in conjunction with the Geothermal Resources Council Annual Meeting which this year presented 140 scientific papers, Including ElectraTherm’s Cost Effective Small Scale ORC Systems for Power Recovery from Low Enthalpy Geothermal Resources, authored by Professors Ian K. Smith, Nikola Stosic and Ahmed Kovacevic from the City University London, (CUL) and Richard Langson, CEO of ElectraTherm. The paper was presented by Professor Stosic of CUL.
“With all of the major players in the geothermal energy industry represented, it felt very gratifying to get the industry recognition we did,” said ElectraTherm’s founder and president, Richard Langson. “We have a quintessential green solution for businesses of all sizes because it works financially as well.”
Speakers at the conference included Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, Assistant Secretary, US Department of Energy Alexander Karsner and Deputy Assistant Secretary, US Department of Interior, Michael Olsen.
