Attention Business Editors: THERMO TECH(TM) WINS THIRD PARTY ENDORSEMENT OF ITS THERMO MASTER(TM) PLANT TECHNOLOGY FROM INDUSTRY EXPERTS VANCOUVER, April 16 /CNW/ - Thermo Tech(TM) Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: TTRIF) announced today that Dillon Consulting Limited, an independent professional consulting firm, has concluded its comprehensive study of the Company's Thermo Master(TM) technology and reported that the Thermo Master(TM) process is a ''well proven operation for converting low value organic food and sludge wastes into valuable end products.'' Their published findings also verify the technical soundness of the recently completed engineering design documents for the third generation of Thermo Master(TM) plants now under construction and, perhaps more significantly, further validate the Company's financial and profit projections for individual plant performance. Ren Branconnier, President and CEO of Thermo Tech(TM) stated, ''Receiving Dillon's strong and positive endorsement of our technology simply serves to further validate what we have maintained all along - Thermo Tech(TM)'s proven technology is not only innovative, but it serves to profit the environment, our customers, our Company and ultimately our loyal shareholders.'' Wayne Hansen, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added ''This engineering assessment is the final document required to finalize the non-recourse debt financing for the Thermo Master(TM) plant. It should also assist us in concluding numerous additional debt financing negotiations for planned plants to be constructed in North America, including Industrial Revenue Bonds.'' With over 60 years of combined professional experience in the industry, the authors of Dillon's published report are senior engineers with doctoral degrees in Chemical and Environmental Engineering. Headquartered in Canada, Dillon Consulting Ltd. is an international consulting organization specializing in the successful application of science, technology and management.
