(\"Thermal Energy\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:TMG), a global provider of energy efficiency and emissions reduction solutions, has been commissioned by a leading multinational tire manufacturing company to convert the tire presses at one of its major manufacturing sites to energy efficient GEM(TM) steam traps. \n\n \n \nThis GEM(TM) steam trap conversion project, valued at over $482,000, will improve site energy efficiency, manufacturing process and product quality, while substantially reducing steam trap maintenance at this site in Europe. This project is the latest and largest in a series of orders from this tire company, driven by the impressive energy efficiency and failure-free performance of the GEM(TM) technology across multiple sites. \n\n \n \nFor years this site had experienced issues with steam trap failure, leading to annual large-scale trap replacements. The GEM(TM) Trap is the permanent solution. Additionally, previous GEM(TM) steam trap installations on this site, and others within the group, have delivered improvements in product quality and a significant reduction in product rejects due to the continuous discharge of condensate. \n\n \n \n\"As one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world, maximizing product quality and minimizing operational interruptions are paramount for this customer.\" Said William Crossland, CEO of Thermal Energy.\n\n \n \n\"GEM(TM) steam traps have effectively eliminated trap failure rates for the customer and substantially reduced the maintenance burden at their site, allowing their processes to operate uninterrupted. One of the many design features that sets the GEM(TM) Traps apart from other technology is its ability to deflect debris and deal with the clogging nature of the rubber particles. This resilience designed in partnership with the Tire Industry is further enhanced using our patented inline maintenance tool. As a package of design solutions, the GEM(TM) Trap reduces the impact of the particles, as well as vastly speeding up any trap maintenance requirement without the need for the trap being taken out of line and back to the workshop.\" \n\n \n \n\"The Tire Industry uses h...
