AES Latin America Supports Efficiency in Power Plants for Dominican Republic – Reducing Greenhouse Emissions with Cost Effective Solution from Paragon Airheater Technologies

CORONA, Calif. & SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paragon Airheater Technologies (www.paragonairheater.com), the fastest-growing manufacturer of high-performance seals and basketed elements for rotary, regenerative airheaters used in power plants, have been implemented and are showing significant improvement in the operations of AES in the Dominican Republic. The decision to install Paragon’s High Performance Sealing Solution was made after an extensive review and evaluation by AES.

Paragon Airheater Technologies products have been installed by AES in the Dominican Republic, the products have produced improved plant efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. The decision to purchase was made after a review of other alternatives to determine the most cost effective way to reduce carbon emissions and lower operating costs.

Paragon’s unique, high performance sealing solutions are specially designed to provide maximum efficiency while withstanding the harsh operating conditions normally encountered in an airheater. Paragon’s exclusive and patented design for both radial and circumferential/bypass seals surpass the original equipment manufacturer standards, thus minimizing leakage and providing maximum performance, durability and airheater efficiency.

AES is pleased with the early results and value that Paragon’s sealing solutions have brought to their company. Reducing leakage and increasing plant efficiency has enabled AES to burn less fuel thus resulting in cost savings and reduction in carbon emission.

Paragon’s unique sealing technology has been adopted as a standard in many power plants that are looking to improve plant efficiency and reduce carbon emission. By reducing leakage in the airheaters, power plants are more efficient and this reduces the amount of fuel required to produce the same energy output. This reduction in fuel consumption also reduces carbon emissions which is a major focus for AES and other energy companies worldwide.
