Itronics Introduces Environmentally Friendly Fertilizer Injectors to the Home Lawn and Garden Market

Brings Specialty Agriculture Effectiveness to the Homeowner – RENO, Nev., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Itronics Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ITRO; Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges: ITG) reported today that its subsidiary, Itronics Metallurgical, Inc., has launched an offering of GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizer injectors at the GOLD'n GRO web page: http://www.goldngro.com that will allow the homeowner to utilize fertilizer more effectively and in an environmentally superior manner. "Our wholly owned subsidiary has been reviewing fertilizer injector technology for several years and is pleased to bring to the marketplace a unique line of liquid fertilizer injectors for the Home Lawn and Garden market," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. "The injector units do not require an electrical hook up, are cost effective, and are easy to install and use. They will be especially helpful for application of GOLD'n GRO liquid fertilizers for the home owner who has lawn, landscaping, and garden or orchard areas of 5,000 square feet or larger." Application of liquid fertilizer with irrigation water is known as fertigation. This method of applying liquid fertilizers has been used in the specialty agricultural field for a number of years. Its use has been increasing, not only because of labor savings […]

KleenAir Successfully Demonstrates DPF and SCR Technology at Government Tradeshow in UK

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 5, 2004–KleenAir Systems Inc. (OTC BB:KAIR – News) announced today that they participated in the Recent Local Authority Waste Management Show in Torbay, England. Together with its strategic partner, Dinex Exhaust Co. Ltd., KleenAir was able to demonstrate its combination Particulate Filter (DPF) and NOx reduction (SCR) systems. KleenAir's technology has been installed on a number of waste management vehicles in several London boroughs, where they have demonstrated their capability and durability over the last two years. Such vehicles typically are among the worst polluters in urban areas emitting large quantities of particulates and NOx. "Reducing emissions from Refuse Collection Vehicles has been one of the most difficult and intractable problems for Air Quality Management officials. We believe that our emission reduction systems will make a significant contribution to the reduction of emissions from such vehicles with a consequent improvement in public health," stated Lionel Simons, President of KleenAir Systems, Inc KleenAir recently announced another institutional financing for $2 million had been agreed with a second London, UK based investment company. The transaction exchanges $2 million of a quoted London Stock Exchange investment trust equity for an equal value of KleenAir stock. This helps improve the balance […]

California-Energy-Commission-Sponsored Wind Project Quintuples Energy Output for Lower Cost

FULLERTON, Calif., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ — California-Energy-Commission (CEC)-sponsored Selsam Innovations of Fullerton (www.selsam.com), California, announced today that its unique design of using several rotors on a common drive shaft to capture wind energy provides five times the energy output of a conventional, single-rotor turbine of the same diameter. The concept, also referred to as "co-axial, multi-rotor wind turbine" and pioneered by Selsam principal, Doug Selsam, combines the lightweight blades and high revolutions per minute (RPM) of a small turbine with the increased swept area and greater power output of a larger turbine. A single drive shaft tilted at a 25-degree angle exposes each rotor to its own airflow. The high RPM allows a direct-drive generator, eliminating the need for gearing between the shaft and the generator and reducing installation and operation costs. "We have reduced the array-turbine concept with its known power-gathering advantages, to a single moving part," said Selsam. "The result is greater energy capture per installation dollar spent." In tests funded by the CEC, Selsam's patented, experimental prototype "Superturbine" produced 4,000 watts of electricity at winds of 27 mph. "Compared to a single-rotor turbine of the same diameter which nominally produces 800 watts, output has been multiplied by […]
