POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ Cyclone Power Technologies ] (Pink Sheets: CYPW) has received a purchase order from its licensee [ Phoenix Power Group ] (PPG) for two waste oil power generators. The renewable power systems are scheduled to be delivered by the end of the year for field testing with PPGa™s nationwide distributor, [ Clean Burn ], the world leader in waste oil furnaces and boilers.

"Overwhelming market demand has led us to focus on launching a smaller genset that matches the waste oil disposal requirements of the vast majority of garages and lube shops throughout the United States"

The new Phoenix 10kW waste oil generator will be powered by Cyclonea™s WHE-25 engine a" a compact, scalable waste heat enginea" using a specially designed, clean emissions combustion chamber. The aPhoenix 10a, which is expected to be in limited commercial production in early 2011, will allow thousands of oil change and drop-off locations to recycle their waste motor oil in an environmentally-friendly and profitable manner by producing grid-tied electricity.

aOverwhelming market demand has led us to focus on launching a smaller genset that matches the waste oil disposal requirements of the vast majority of garages and lube shops throughout the United States,a stated Thomas V. Thillen, President of PPG. aWe still intend on launching a larger 40kW system later in 2011, as previously announced.a

Waste motor oil is a major source of contamination of waterways that can result in the toxic pollution of drinking water. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, waste oil from one oil change can contaminate 1 million gallons of fresh water.

aApproximately one billion gallons of waste oil are disposed of each year in the U.S.,a stated Cyclonea™s Executive VP, Christopher Nelson. aWe are pleased to be part of a project that could have such widespread benefits a" giving companies and individuals an economic incentive to turn this potentially hazardous substance into a clean, renewal energy source.a
