Control Techtronics Inc. (CTI) is conducting a project to reduce air emissions and increase efficiency in coal fired boilers in Krakow, Poland and to create a commercial venture in Poland which can act as a leader for efficient combustion in boilers throughout the region. In Budget Period One (first year), CTI will demonstrate the efficiency improvement program at MPEC`s Balicka district heating plant in the Widok section of Krakow. CTI is working with several organizations to accomplish this work. In the first quarter of Budget Period One, there were ongoing contract negotiations with MPEC as the host site for the first CTI installation in Poland. Preliminary engineering was done concurrent to these negotiations. In addition, the transfer and development of training materials began. In the second quarter, a contract with MPEC was signed which allowed commencement of other project work. This included putting subcontract agreements in place with other Polish partners, completing engineering, revising and coordinating schedules and conducting some of the training. In this, the third quarter of Budget Period one, work was conducted in three main areas. They were (A) fabrication and shipment of control systems for Balicka, (B) testing, training and other activities supporting a successful installation and start-up and (C) obtaining host sites and funding for Budget Period 2.
