Santo Domingo.– Paragon Airheater Technologies, the fastest-growing manufacturer of high-performance seals and basketed elements for rotary, regenerative airheaters used in power plants, have been implemented and are showing significant improvement in the operations of AES Dominicana.

The products installed by AES Dominican have resulted in improved plant efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. The decision to purchase was made after a review of other alternatives to determine the most cost effective way to reduce carbon emissions and lower operating costs.

Paragon’s exclusive and patented design for both radial and circumferential/bypass seals surpass the original equipment manufacturer standards, thus minimizing leakage and providing maximum performance, durability and airheater efficiency, the California-based company said.

AES is pleased with the early results and value that Paragon’s sealing solutions have brought to their company. Reducing leakage and increasing plant efficiency has enabled AES to burn less fuel thus resulting in cost savings and reduction in carbon emission.
