PANDA POWER FUNDS FINANCES ONE OF THE LARGEST COAL-TO-NATURAL GAS POWER CONVERSION PROJECTS IN THE UNITED STATES
DALLAS, Oct 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE)-- Panda Power Funds has financed the 1,124 megawatt Panda “Hummel Station” power plant — one of the largest coal-to-natural gas power conversion projects in the United States. The plant will be located at the site of the retired Sunbury coal-fired power plant near Shamokin Dam in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. The 400 MW, 65-year-old plant was shuttered in 2014 in response to low natural gas prices and the onset of strict environmental regulations promulgated by the Obama Administration.
The Panda Hummel generating station will be fueled with Marcellus Shale gas, which is expected to provide the project with a significant operating cost advantage. The plant is expected to supply large power markets, including Philadelphia and the New York metropolitan area, when it enters commercial operations in the first quarter of 2018.

ENERGY RECOVERY SIGNS 15-YEAR LICENSE WITH SCHLUMBERGER TO PROVIDE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO ITS VORTEQ(TM) HYDRAULIC FRACTURING TECHNOLOGY
SAN LEANDRO, Calif., Oct 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERII), the leader in pressure energy technology for industrial fluid flows, today announced a 15-year deal with Schlumberger Technology Corporation, the world's leading supplier of geoscience, engineering, drilling, and data management software products and computing services for the exploration and production industry. The agreement provides exclusive rights to Energy Recovery's VorTeq™ hydraulic pumping system, the first hydraulic fracturing manifold ("missile") built to isolate hydraulic fracturing pumps from abrasive proppants that cause pump failure.
The VorTeq system is a hydraulic pumping system that replaces the missiles traditionally used in hydraulic fracturing. In current operations, the missile routes water, proppants (sand or ceramics) and chemicals downhole at treating pressures up to 15,000 psi. However, the proppants cause frequent failures in the high pressure hydraulic fracturing pumps. With VorTeq, high-pressure hydraulic fracturing pumps will process clean or proppant-free water and transfer the hydraulic energy to the hydraulic fracturing fluid within the VorTeq missile.
