NAPLES, Fla., April 20, 2010
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging
global leader in nanoscience energy saving solutions, today announced that the
Company has been approved as a member of the U.S. Department of Energy's
(DOE's) Industrial Technologies Program Save
Energy Now as an ALLY organization. Save
Energy Now is a national initiative that aims to drive a reduction
of 25% or more in industrial energy intensity in 10 years. To achieve this
ambitious goal, DOE's Industrial Technologies Program is partnering with Save Energy Now LEADER Companies and Save Energy Now ALLY Organizations.
"For many years, we have worked
closely with manufacturers to assist them in reducing energy costs on a daily
basis," explained Francesca Crolley, V.P. Business Development for Industrial
Nanotech, Inc. "As a member of the Save
Energy Now ALLY program, we can offer these manufacturers more tools and
assistance from the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technology Program
to help them meet their goals of reduced costs and increased efficiency. We can
support the goals of reduction of 25% or more industrial energy intensity by assessing
areas in factories and facilities where our nanotechnology based Nansulate®
coatings can be used to insulate steam pipes, boilers, building envelope,
roofs, and other areas. Nansulate®
reduces energy used for heating and cooling as well as for heat processes used
in manufacturing. Our technology has a well documented and proven track record
of reducing energy costs in factories by 10% to 20% or more, and we look
forward to helping more companies achieve those savings and become Save Energy Now LEADER companies.
Reducing energy consumption across the nation is vital to our future, and we
are proud to be working with the U.S. Department of Energy to achieve these
goals through the Save Energy Now
program."
In 2008, manufacturing client Henateks, a textile
manufacturer for Nike, Adidas and other apparel companies, used Nansulate®
insulation coatings throughout their plant on heat exchangers, dye machines,
steam boilers and other heat process equipment, and documented reduced energy
savings of 20% due to use of the coatings. This equated to a savings of over
$460,000 USD and reduced liquid natural gas (LNG) consumption by 1,980,943 m3.
Their payback period was less than one year.
