QED Connect Inc.'s Joint Venture Partner Sofame Technologies, Inc. Provides Details on Order from Leading Meat Processor
MANCHESTER, N.H., Sept. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- QED Connect Inc.'s (OTC Pink: QEDN) ("QED Connect") joint venture partner, Sofame Technologies, Inc. ("Sofame Technologies") (TSXV: SDW), today revealed the details on the recent purchase order from Olymel L.P., a leader in the processing and distribution of pork, poultry and meat products that has facilities in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. Sofame's seventh contract with Olymel, previously announced, is for a Hybrid Percomtherm® unit, which operates at 96% efficiency and combines condensing recovery of waste heat from existing boilers with a new direct contact condensing burner to heat process water.
"At Olymel, energy efficiency projects pay for themselves directly by reducing annual fuel costs," stated William Laing, Director of Engineering Services at Olymel L.P. He added, "The decision to purchase the Sofame unit was based on its heat recovery characteristics and its ability to produce hot water more efficiently than the conventional boilers in use. Sofame systems are already operating in six other Olymel plants across Canada, and their reliable performance has led to this decision to make a new investment."
According to John Gocek, Sofame's President & CEO, "Sofame is pleased to continue working with Olymel and our partners in Quebec. This offering, which includes equipment, installation, and a financial incentive from the natural gas utility, gave the customer everything needed to assess project costs and benefits. We are delighted to be able to proceed immediately with this new contract."
Tom Makmann, CEO of QED Connect added, "As previously announced Sofame has secured orders for over $1.4M this quarter. This order and the Butterball contract validate the technology's application in food processing industry. We are very excited about Sofame's success and are looking forward to the Joint Venture, Sofame Energy, contributing to QED's future."
