SEATTLE, Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSign Combustion Corporation (NASDAQ: CLIR), an emerging provider of industrial combustion technologies that help to reduce emissions and improve efficiency, today announced customer acceptance and turn over to operations of the previously announced refinery pilot test unit with an undisclosed California refiner.

As previously announced, ClearSign retrofit the customer's vertical cylindrical refinery heater with ClearSign's unique, patented, Duplex technology to ensure compliance with California's strict air emissions requirements. Following the retrofit, independent testing conducted by a third party on behalf of the refiner confirmed single digit emission levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen), performance that would qualify as Best Available Control Technology (BACT) in any jurisdiction within the U.S.   

"This customer was very supportive of ClearSign and has been an excellent partner in applying our technology to their refinery," said ClearSign Chairman and CEO Steve Pirnat. "We look forward to assisting them and other refiners to successfully meet or exceed their emission requirements."
