January 2014 -- Lean Flame Inc. has recently completed engine testing of its proprietary combustor technology on a 1.7MWe Land Based Gas Turbine Engine running on natural gas at a major Asian Gas Turbine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Results have demonstrated a 90% reduction in NOx emissions over the OEM's own Dry Low NOx (DLN) solution. Specifically, NOx emissions were routinely measured below 2ppm (corrected to 15% oxygen) while CO emissions were essentially zero. Additional tests were also conducted running up to 100% hydrogen fuel to reinforce the technologies superiority for use in IGCC and other advanced combustion strategies. These results build on prior engine tests conducted at a major US Gas Turbine Repair and Overhaul Facility.

November 2012 -- Lean Flame Inc. has completed testing of its proprietary Re-Circulating Vortex Combustor ("RVC") on hydrogen enriched and low BTU fuels. Studies examined methane/hydrogen and methane/nitrogen mixtures up to 30% by volume hydrogen and nitrogen, respectively, and achieved ultra low, single digit NOx and CO, simultaneously. Testing examined B, E and F Class Gas Turbine conditions under a variety of fuel air ratios, reference velocities and system pressure drops. Tests were performed in a high pressure/temperature rig environment.

October 2012 -- Lean Flame Inc. has completed a highly successful test program of its combustion technology with a major Asian Gas Turbine OEM. The game changing technology ("RVC") has already been successfully demonstrated up to the 1.5MWe scale on an actual gas turbine engine and under several, high pressure/temperature rig environments. The technology has consistently achieved ultra low, single digit NOx, CO and UHC (unburned hydrocarbons) simultaneously. The Asian OEM and Lean Flame Inc. are expected to launch a development program in early 2013.

June 2012 -- Lean Flame Inc. has recently completed full engine tests of its proprietary combustor technology on a 1.5MWe Land Based Gas Turbine Engine running on natural gas. Results have demonstrated significant emissions reductions (> 50%) over the OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturer) own Dry Low NOx (DLN) solution. Specifically, NOx emissions were below 4ppm (corrected to 15% oxygen) while CO emissions were essentially zero ppm. As the world's first company to successfully demonstrate its superior version of the Trapped Vortex Combustor ("RVC") on an actual engine, these results have demonstrated the successful 10X scale up of the technology to industrial sizes.
