PowerVerde Announces Appointment of Industry Expert Hank Leibowitz as Senior Design Engineer
Hired in Anticipation of the Forthcoming Launch of the Company's Next Generation Waste Heat-to-Energy Electrical Generation System
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PowerVerde Inc. (NASDAQ: OTCQB PWVI) ("PowerVerde" or the "Company"), a developer of renewable thermal powered electricity generator systems, today announced the appointment of Hank Leibowitz, a noted expert in the field of advanced thermal energy systems, to the newly created position of senior design engineer. This position was formed in anticipation of the launch of the Company's next generation Liberator, a waste heat-to-energy electrical generation system.
Mr. Leibowitz has over 35 years' experience in the development of organic rankine cycle (ORC) and related thermal technologies and is currently Principal of Waste Heat Solutions LLC www.wasteheatsol.com.
"We are thrilled to have secured a preeminent authority in the thermal or waste heat energy sector," commented Rick Davis, CEO of PowerVerde, Inc. "Hank's background, working with the most notable names and innovators in the thermal space (Ormat, Pratt Whitney, Electratherm), combined with pioneering industry breakthroughs over the past three decades, should accelerate our efforts to deliver a commercial, state of the art thermal energy system in the near future."
Hank Leibowitz stated, "I'm excited to come on board as their Senior Design Engineer. I followed PowerVerde's claims of an efficient, small scale, thermal energy system operating on extremely low temperatures with healthy skepticism. PowerVerde agreed to share technical information and actual screen shots of their data log and system tests from an independent engineering firm. Having seen credible data, I visited their lab in Phoenix AZ and after two days of hands-on due diligence and witnessing a working system, combined with my industry knowledge of potential competitors, I was convinced of PowerVerde's viability to deliver a best of breed system capable of operating on low temperatures sources and with price points that make ROI sense. I look forward to working with the entire team to help bring this game-changing, new generation thermal energy system to the market."
