MagneGas to the Rescue in Tampa Bridge Accident

TAMPA, Fla., May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), an energy and technology company that counts among its inventions a patented process that converts liquid waste into a hydrogen-based fuel, today announced that its cutting fuel was used to swiftly and safely remove four 70-ton steel girders from an intersection blocking traffic traveling between Tampa and Clearwater. Two tractor trailers collided with a steel girder supporting the overpass, closing the area to traffic.  Authorities reported that more than 60,000 vehicles per day use the intersection and therefore demanded that traffic be returned to normal in 24 hours or less.  

Demolition contractor and current MagneGas® customer, Sonny Glasbrenner, Inc., was brought in to help demolish the structure.  They specifically demanded MagneGas® fuel for this project due to its unique properties.

"MagneGas® played a crucial role to ensure we could safely and efficiently cut out the bridge girders. The girders posed a unique problem in that they were coated with fire retardant coating and layers of paint that made it difficult to cut with traditional acetylene torches.  Fortunately, last year we were introduced to MagneGas® and we were able to use it to cut apart this steel and open this crucial intersection," stated Daniel Krajacic, Production Manager at Sonny Glasbrenner.

"We made multiple deliveries of MagneGas® to deal with the situation.  First of all we are pleased that nobody appears to have been hurt and proud that MagneGas® was part of the solution to re-open this critical Clearwater-Tampa connection," said Ermanno Santilli, CEO, MagneGas.
