Fredericton’s WEnTech Solutions Prepares to Launch Two New Products
FREDERICTON – WEnTech Solutions, the Fredericton software company that aids waste-to-energy projects, is planning to launch two new products by the end of the year.
In an interview in the company’s Knowledge Park office, Founder and CEO Amir Akbari said WEnTech in August will have the full launch of its initial product, which helps engineering firms and others choose the right waste-to-energy system for a given situation.
Then two months later, it plans to launch a related product, which helps to improve the efficient operation of the waste-to-energy system over its lifetime.
“Cleantech is really wide-ranging,” said Amir. “We are in the green energy side of it. And using software like ours helps to make sure your clean energy project is successful because we consider not just the early stages of the project but also the next five, 10, 20 years of the facility.”
The company gained attention last year when it placed second in the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation’s Breakthru competition, capturing $176,000 in money and in-kind services.
The company grew out of a realization that there are now a range of products on the market that can convert garbage into energy.
But these products are not one-size-fits-all propositions. Different systems perform best based on where they’re located and what sort of waste they’re accepting – household, commercial, agricultural or forestry refuse.
