MagneGas Corp., a Tampa-based technology company that counts among its inventions a patented process that converts liquid waste into MagneGas2 fuel, has announced its cutting fuel has been selected for five major demolition projects in Florida. MagneGas2 fuel is being used for the steel cutting portion of the projects which involve two separate demolition companies. The projects are both long and short term and in various stages of work in progress, with various amounts of steel cutting required.

The five demolition and reconstruction projects range in scope from hotels, resorts and other structures to roadways and bridges, and cover both the private, public and military sectors. Along with the previously announced Pier demolition in St. Petersburg, Florida, MagneGas2 is now being used in six of the top 10 demolition projects in the Central Florida area, based on company estimates.

MagneGas2 has increasingly and consistently received positive feedback not only from end users such as demolition companies, but also from utility companies, industrial and military facilities due to its proven faster cutting speed and smaller heat affected zone, demonstrated safety attributes and its eco-friendly aspects. The fuel is produced in the U.S. as opposed to acetylene which is made from calcium carbide imported primarily from China and other countries. The increased cutting speed translates into the potential of increased productivity and lower costs for end users, according to MagneGas.

"This is yet another instance where the companies involved in major projects have asked for MagneGas specifically as the fuel of choice. Feedback is that MagneGas adds dollars to their bottom line, due to the speed of the cut, increased productivity, less fuel required and results in a quicker, less costly completion date," says Ermanno Santilli, CEO of MagneGas Corp.
