For Immediate Release
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
03 January, 2012

TurboSonic Technologies, Inc.(OTC Bulletin Board - TSTA), a global provider of clean air technologies, today announced receipt of a US$2.7 million order for turnkey supply of a SonicKleen™ Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) to control particulate emissions from a wood pellet production plant. Project completion is scheduled for the 2012 calendar year.

The SonicKleen™ WESP is the most advanced wet electrostatic precipitator design on the market. It is used to control fine particulate, condensable particulate matter and acid mist emissions from industrial processes and power generation, providing continuous, reliable performance and virtually maintenance-free operation.

Our customer is a leading supplier of wood-based panel and pellet production lines. This order is the first with this European customer and is for a pellet production facility under construction in the US. Demand for wood pellets as a biomass fuel is an increasingly important component of the global energy market as national energy self-sufficiency and environmental goals are realized. The use of wood pellets as fuel has been classified by the US EPA to be a carbon neutral fuel source. The European market has increased its reliance on biofuels in place of burning coal for heat and power generation, to reduce carbon emissions. Both the European and US markets are forecast for significant growth in demand for pellet production.

"I am very pleased by our receipt of this order," said Edward Spink, TurboSonic CEO. "We have a world class team, strong partners and a proven technology platform that provide a foundation for TurboSonic's future success. Our extensive experience in the wood-based panel market, where we have set the standard for equipment reliability and low maintenance, was instrumental in winning this contract. We believe that this order represents a growing market for us."
