Echogen Power Systems is commercializing

the Thermafficient® Heat Recovery System,

a thermal engine that transforms waste heat

into electricity without consuming additional

fuel or creating additional emissions. In 2010

Echogen delivered a commercial-scale 250kWe

thermal engine for demonstration test at a major

Midwest electric utility. The test system achieved

net power output and Echogen is redeploying

the system to a customer facility for long-term

durability and reliability tests. The company

received a $10 million investment from energy

leader Dresser-Rand in 2011 to advance its

technology development, including designing and

constructing waste heat recovery systems using

Dresser-Rand’s turbo-expanders. Thermafficient

was selected as one of the top new utility

technologies for 2010 by the Clean Technology

and Sustainable Industries Organization.

ABSMaterials is revolutionizing water treatment

and environmental remediation – an estimated

$35 billion worldwide market – by providing

solutions for removing persistent organic

pollutants from water and soil. The company

develops reactive glass products and nanosands

for remediation or site-cleanup of volatile organic

and related spills, plumes or gas discharge.

Its products are fully reversible, highly stable,

hydrophobic, and capable of capturing and

recovering a range of hydrocarbons and pervasive

solvents. ABSMaterials’s early remediation

customers include BP, Haliburton, and BRG Inc.

The company is adapting its technology for the

remediation of salty fluid trapped in the rock of

oil reservoirs, which is extracted during oil and

gas production, and the largest toxic byproduct

produced by the oil industry.

Catacel designs and manufactures catalytic heat-

exchanging products made from metal foils with

catalytic coatings for the fuel cell and industrial

hydrogen industries. Its high-performance,

cost-efficient reactors are lighter and more

energy efficient than alternative solutions. To

demonstrate proof-of-concept for a carbon dioxide

adsorbing reactor that will capture CO2 from

power plants and other combustion sources,

Catacel is adapting its existing heat-exchanging

reactor platform by coating the internal metal foil

surfaces with dry sorbent materials and operating

it in a unique process cycle. The adaptions could

reduce coal-fired power plant CO2 emissions by

close to 1.7 billion tons annually in the United

States. Catacel was named to the 2010 Inc. 5000

list, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-

growing private companies.
