Canada-headed dynaCERT Inc., a provider of carbon emission reduction technology for use with internal combustion engines has recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Total Equipment Services Inc. (TES), an underground mining equipment manufacturer, to adapt its "HydraGEN" technology to build a safe, healthy and positive environment to the underground mining industry and its personnel.
Total Equipment Services Inc. (TES) is a privately-owned Canadian company located in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, which specializes in the distributing, servicing, rebuilding, and manufacturing of mining equipment. A fully integrated mining supply company that provides product and service solutions to the mining industry, it works closely with industry partners to evaluate their needs and develop customized solutions that keep their mines moving efficiently.
TES Inc. is also the manufacturer of SPARTA, a customizable line of utility vehicles, engineered for underground mining. SPARTA has gone through extensive development and has incorporated invaluable positive reaction from engineers, operators, and mine managers worldwide.
TES Inc. has now become a dealer of dynaCERT’s HydraGEN technology and will immediately feature dynaCERT’s HG145 products to its clients in Canada. In addition, dynaCERT and TES Inc. have agreed to collaborate together to create markets for innovative products aimed at the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx), total hydrocarbons (THC), particulate matter (PM), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in underground mining environments, globally, by the integration of HydraGEN technology with equipment manufactured by TES Inc.
At TES Inc. we are excited about the potential impact this partnership can have on creating a safer work environment for underground miners. These miners face serious health risks from exposure to diesel particulate matter contained in the exhaust released from heavy diesel-powered vehicles and equipment. There is a need to focus on reducing emissions now. With newer technologies like HydraGEN technology we may have the ability to significantly lower the emissions on pre-existing and new diesel equipment entering the mines every day, said Kevin Whynott, President of TES Inc.
For dynaCERT, this significant agreement is the first with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
We are very pleased to be working with TES Inc. and their experienced team to penetrate the worldwide underground mining market. Along with our recent award at the Mining Cleantech Challenge in Colorado in March this year, our collaboration with TES Inc. will enable our HydraGEN technology to be recognized as a very beneficial product for the mining industry. I am looking forward to working with Kevin Whynott, CEO of TES, who, after our first meeting at PDAC this year, followed by his visit to our Toronto facilities where he witnessed our products and manufacturing, he very quickly recognized how our association would help achieve his commitments to safety and air quality in underground mining. Kevin clearly stated his number one concern was the reduction of NOx and particulate matter, which is exactly how HydraGEN technology can be a solution to apprehensions of mining executives and employees, said Jim Payne, President and CEO of dynaCERT.
