Toronto-based clean technology developer AmmPower on Aug. 25 announced that its new ammonia synthesis converter technology designed for small production units has been granted a utility patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The technology, specifically targeted to provide small-scale and modular green ammonia production, was managed by AmmPower Chief Technologist Dr. Zhenyu Zhang in cooperation with SANsyco Consulting LLC and a group of experienced ammonia industry experts. The assignment of patent rights for the reactor technology to AmmPower is expected to be completed in September.
The technology is also the subject of an international Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application eligible to secure IP rights in PCT member states. The company said the successful USPTO patent award and the PCT patent filing will further strengthen AmmPower’s leading IP positions at a global scale in response to worldwide customer inquiries of the Ammonia Making Machine (IAMM™) units.
AmmPower on Aug. 29 announced that it engaged LEDOLAS to distribute its IAMM units in North and Central America, Australia, Chile, and Peru.
AmmPower also announced that it has terminated its previously announced investor relations and communications services agreement with Vancouver-based Transcend Capital Inc. due to Transcend’s perceived conflict of interest with another company operating in the green ammonia space.
