Langson Energy Selected for Kenya Project

Carson City, NV, May 04, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Langson Energy, Inc. (LEI), a USA energy equipment
manufacturer, was selected by Kenya Electricity Generating Limited (KenGen), producer of around 80%
of the power consumed in Kenya, to conduct a green technology feasibility study for their Olkaria
Geothermal Power Plant. KenGen has been searching for a specialized genset that can be installed
upstream as a topping unit capable of accepting high pressure geothermal wellhead pressures to capture
the waste energy and generate additional clean electricity. Representatives from KenGen and the United
States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), which will be partially funding the study, were in
Nairobi, Kenya for this historic grant signing on April 27, 2017. USTDA is pleased to facilitate new
business partnerships between U.S. and Kenyan companies that can spur long-term, sustainable economic
growth, said Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Director Lida Fitts. The adoption of innovative and
cost-effective U.S. technology can help Kenya to meet its energy development goals.

This study will evaluate the technical, commercial, financial, and environmental viability of utilizing
Langson Energy's 5 MW Total Flow Generator to make more efficient use of the geothermal resource at
Olkaria. Upon the successful results of the study, KenGen and LEI will have the opportunity to install a
number of additional units in the more than 275 wells which will optimize power plant efficiency and
greatly impact the electric footprint in the country.

Langson Energy's Senior Engineer, Dr. Ron DiPippo, will be the Geothermal Expert on the project
working with a team of 10 other experts. As Author of 4 major books including, Geothermal Power
Plants: Principles, Applications and Case Studies, Dr. DiPippo is the foremost world authority and
consultant on Geothermal Power Plants. In addition to Dr. DiPippo's experience with the Olkaria
Geothermal Power Plant in Kenya, he has worked in many geothermally active US states and countries
around the world. Dr. DiPippo states, The advantages of a thermodynamically equivalent Total Flow
Generator will lie in its simplicity, lower capital cost, ease and rapidity of installation, reliable operation,
lower cost of electricity, and ability to operate on lower-temperature reservoirs, compared to either
flash-steam or binary systems.

About Langson Energy Incorporated

Langson Energy has developed an award-winning, exceptionally efficient power conversion system, the
Total Flow GeneratorTM, which converts pressure to power. These unique direct-expansion, positive
displacement devices are unaffected by variations in pressures and flows and solve the challenges of
expansion turbines. They are capable of directly utilizing the pressure in natural gas, wet steam, dry
steam, geothermal fluids and many other waste streams and waste heat. The Gas Pressure Letdown
GeneratorTM (GLG) can produce base load green power from pressure currently being wasted by
regulators and Pressure Reduction Valves (PRVs) anywhere. The Steam Machine can utilize saturated
steam generated from any source of waste heat and even geothermal brine. Both machines provide
significant economic and performance advantages over traditional and nontraditional waste energy
capture devices to provide on-site or distributed low-cost clean energy.
