Energy Conference & Expo

MAYVILLE, NY -- Two companies, one that specializes in producing high-efficiency boilers, the other in manufacturing wood gasification products, will be front and center at Chautauqua County's First Annual Energy Conference and Expo November 14th and 15th.

ECR International and Alternative Fuel Boilers LLC, a subsidiary of Dunkirk Metal Products Inc., will play a major part in the event, which will take place at Chautauqua Suites Meeting and Expo Center, located in Mayville, NY.

On Saturday, November 15th, from 12:45 until 2 PM, Mark Belcher, Regional Sales Manager of ECR International Inc., Karl Mayer with ECR and Mark O'Dell, Vice President of Marketing at Dunkirk Metal Products will all speak on panels dealing with Co-Generation Energy Applications.

ECR International was formed in June of 1999 out of a merger between The Utica Companies (Utica) and Dunkirk Radiator Corporation (Dunkirk).















On September 11, 2008, ECR introduced the freewatt® Home Heating System. Manufactured by ECR, freewatt is the green alternative in home heating, allowing homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing comfort.

Freewatt operates using micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) technology, which marries an ENERGY STAR-rated, high-efficiency natural gas furnace or boiler to a Honda generator.

This electricity can be used to power the home or can be sold back to the “grid.” Freewatt is now available throughout New York State.

Meanwhile, Alternative Fuel Boilers LLC manufactures and sells the Econoburn ™ wood gasification boiler at Dunkirk Metal Product's Brocton plant.

Econoburn's technology captures and re-combusts chimney flue gases to dramatically increase energy efficiency and significantly reduce air emissions.

Because of the gasification technology, Econoburn boilers perform with emissions below EPA standards.


Econoburn units range in size from 100,000 to 1 million BTU's for use as either a primary heat source or to supplement one that already exists. The boilers are adaptable to both hot water and forced air heating systems, and the company offers accessory products for swimming pools and hot tubs along with heat exchanger fans for industrial buildings.

Dunkirk Metal Products is working with the NYS Energy Research and Development Administration to document the high-quality energy and environmental performance of their boilers, which are completely made in the U.S.

















"Our dealership and distribution network continues to rapidly expand," said Alternative Fuel Boilers president William Raines. "That's a testament to the quality of the product we produce and the level of customer service we provide."

"The Econoburn is quickly becoming one of the most well recognized and highly demanded, made in America wood gasification boilers," Raines said.

Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards said, "It is to be celebrated that two companies which produce such energy-efficient products, and who will be a part of Chautauqua County's upcoming Energy Conference and Expo, are both located in the Dunkirk-North County area."

Exhibits begin Friday afternoon at Noon with opening remarks from Edwards and Energy Conference Chairman Doug Champ.

On Saturday, simultaneous exhibits & panel discussions on Energy Use & Development Issues will begin at 9 AM.

There is no charge to individuals interested in visiting the exhibits and attending the panel discussions. The CCIDA will be coordinating the conference and all exhibits.
