ACT saves energy, cuts emissions through Tadger technology

The Aqaba Container Terminal Company is working with Jordan Advanced Alternative Energy and Transport Solutions (Jo-Adv) to save energy and cut emissions using the Canadian Tadger technology.
The first stage of the project saw coverage of 20% of the company’s needs, with 5.1% energy savings from 22 RTG gantry cranes, while cutting CO2 and poisonous emissions by a record-breaking 57.3%.
“We are pleased to partner with ACT on fulfilling their environmental responsibilities through a program that facilitates environmental sustainability,” said Hassan Al Sayed, Jo-Adv General Manager. “We appreciate their commitment to save energy and reduce emissions, which have long since become a global problem, especially in industrialized countries, which impacts the world in direct and indirect ways. We hope that other industrial facilities and the land and sea transport industries would make use of this technology.”
He added that older technologies “put financial and technological burdens on industrial enterprises, making their adoption nearly impossible.”
“Tadger’s technology, however, is easy to install, and can provide energy savings of as much as 5%, recouping its cost in under a year and ultimately achieving higher revenues to the enterprise. It also protects engines and helps cut down on maintenance costs.”
Tadger technology can also cut down on soot and smoke emitted from the smokestacks of factories and vehicle tailpipes, while also boosting the horsepower and torque of internal combustion engines. To ensure long-term quality and efficiency, Tadger was keen to build its product to last, using durable, rust-resistant materials, potentially prolonging the useful life of the product to decades.
Tadger owns global patents for its product, and is registered in the United States, in addition to being accredited from international institutions, such as China’s National Energy Commission, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Environment Canada, and the University of Belgrade. The maintenance-free product is easy to install on all sorts of gasoline- diesel- and gas-powered engines.
Background Information
Aqaba Container Terminal
In 2003, the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), on behalf of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, was on a mission to acquire a strategic partnership to improve the efficiency, capacity and the operational performance of the container terminal in Aqaba. After signing a Terminal Management Contract with ADC in 2004, APM Terminals (part of the global A.P. Møller–Maersk Group), took over the management and operation of the terminal.
A 25-year Joint Development Agreement (JDA) was signed between ADC and the Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) in 2006. Under the contract, APM Terminals Jordan operates, manages and markets ACT in addition to executing the Master Plan, which anticipates achieving a drastic increase of throughput capacity through a combination of physical and operational improvements.
