SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Terra Systems, Inc. (OTC:TSYI) (BULLETIN BOARD: TSYI) Terra Systems, Inc. ("TSYI") is taking a key step in the commercialization of Clean Coke Technology. In March 2007, TSYI announced that it had acquired the exclusive rights to Combustion Resources, LLC's ("CR") of Provo, UT patent pending Clean Coke Technology. In the weeks and months to come, TSYI will take a lead role in the development and operation of a new clean coke pilot plant using historically marginal carbon by-products to manufacture high-grade carbon (coke) briquettes. The project will help to establish a firm basis for commercial production of value-added carbon reductants ("Clean Coke") at costs below current available products. The clean coke pilot plant will be supported by a Center of Excellence grant awarded to the College of Eastern Utah's Western Energy Training Center ("WETC") and with the collaboration of industry and education. The industrial companies involved in this project are: Terra Systems, Inc, Combustion Resources, Inc, Manufacturing Extension Partnership, WestCAMP Inc, Mountain Island Energy, LLC (a subsidiary of Terra Systems, Inc.), and National Centers of Excellence. Educational organizations involved include the College of Eastern Utah's WETC, Brigham Young University, and Utah Valley State College. Dr. Robert Topping, Ed.D, WETC Coordinator noted that "This is a wonderful example that shows how industry and education can come together to make great impacts. With the combination of raw coal material resources in Eastern Utah, Combustion Resource's patent pending Clean Coke Technology, Terra System's project development and management skills and the design and process control experts at WETC, the cooperation has created a dynamic partnership." Once the pilot plant proves the process to be successful, the plant will then be duplicated on a larger scale to create a full-scale production plant, which will then be followed by the roll-out of up to three additional full-scale production plants. Reynold Roeder, Chairman of the Board of TSYI commented, "This represents a significant opportunity for Terra. Terra is targeting December 31, 2009 to have at least one of these plants in commercial operation in order to qualify for the Internal Revenue Code Section 45k tax credits. The prior experience that the combined Combustion Resources - Terra Systems team have from working together on the successful technology development, construction, and operation of Section 29 synfuel projects should facilitate these efforts. Unlike the prior Section 29 synfuel projects, these clean coke projects are expected to have positive margins."
