Lathrop-Trotter Represents Sofame in Ohio and Indiana

  

Ed Stoermer of Stoermer-IES Joins Lathrop Trotter 

 

Officially on July 01 2012, Ed Stoermer of Stoermer-IES has joined the Lathrop-Trotter Company in Cincinnati as Vice President of CoGen and Combined Heat and Power System Sales.  Stoermer-IES has been Sofame's Representative in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia and Michigan since 2008.  Ed Stoermer has been successful in introducing Direct Contact Weste Heat Recovery systems to several major food processing corporations on behalf of Sofame.

 

As some of you may know, Lathrop Trotter is the representative for Solar Gas Turbines and Dresser Rand Steam Turbines.  Ed Stoermer is bringing along Sofame Technologies, Johnston Boiler Company, Rentech Boiler as well as other great product lines, so Lathrop Trotter will provide all the very best components of a Combined Heat and Power System to Engineers and Industrial & Institutional Clients. More product line announcements are expected.

 

Lathrop Trotter believes that smaller, distributed power generation plants located within industrial and institutional facilities represent a reliable, cleaner and cheaper way to produce electrical power. Accordingly they have teamed up to assemble the best product line up in the industry for Cogen, and CHP for projects below 100 MWe.

  

We are all very excited about Lathrop Trotter's new capabilities and strong CoGen and CHP system offerings.  Stoermer Industrial Energy Systems will continue in operation as several projects are in progress and they will make their way through warranty and beyond.  Any current contracts, open orders, financial obligations, as well as project and warranty needs, that have been undertaken as Stoermer-IES will remain.  Ed's time with Lathrop Trotter will be divided to insure things go smoothly with all the current projects as well as ramping up the CoGen and CHP activity with LT.

 

Knowing that much of the power generated in this country must be transformed from a Coal-Based Utility Scale Model to Natural Gas & Renewable Fuel Based Model, this move results in the best position for our firms to capitalize on the changing landscape. Our conclusion was that the opportunity could best be addressed by joining forces and supporting these complementary product lines. 

 

About Lathrop Trotter:

LT was formed in 1922 and has a very strong reputation in the Coal Fired Utility Market place, one of their main lines is United Conveyor Company (solid materials handling) so they have very strong relationships in the power and industrial coal / solid fuel fired market place.  LT has 6 outside Salesmen that cover the OH, IN, KY territory from 3 locations and is headquartered in Cincinnati.  The website is www.lathroptrotter.com.

Sofame Reduces CO2 Emissions and Fuel Bills:

Power Generation Applications

An exciting new opportunity for Sofame is the way that direct contact technology has been applied to electric power generation. The U.S. electricity market is the world's largest, comprising one-fifth of both global demand and power plant capacity.

 

With natural gas prices at historic lows compared to all other fuels, many utilities are converting to gas-fired turbines which are about 40% efficient. In a well-run power plant generating electricity, steam and cooling for air conditioning, co-generation brings efficiency up to 70%. Sofame can take that number up to 99% if there is a need and a use for hot water at 135�F. The potential additional fuel savings of 29% represent a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions.

 

Today, institutions, universities, hospitals and industrial plants are also opting to generate their own electricity due to the availability of clean-firing gas turbines. This trend led Siemens and Alstom to build gas turbine plants in the United States to meet the demand. Since the demand for electricity is ever on the rise, Sofame's direct contact heat recovery technology can cost-effectively help reduce the impact on the atmosphere.

So Energy Efficient. Sofame.
