The Breakthrough: As New York City intensified its building emissions laws, MPN went on a global search for a viable solution. We discovered Finland-based manufacturer Oilon and their revolutionary ChillHeat technology, officially becoming their first North American distributor in November 2022.
The Strategy: Instead of completely tearing out legacy building infrastructure—a logistical and financial nightmare—our strategy focuses on leaving existing boilers in place and incorporating water-source heat pumps right on top of them to recycle waste heat with zero additional environmental burden.
The Breakthrough: Operating out of our Holbrook, Long Island shop with only 24 weeks left on the Empire Technology Prize clock, our engineering team successfully configured the Oilon P30 ChillHeat pump to use low-temperature waste water to generate low-pressure steam without a single drop of fossil fuel.
The Strategy: By back-feeding this zero-emission steam into traditional cast-iron radiators via our test rig, we proved we can natively support New York’s historic building infrastructure, which has relied on steam heating since 1882.
The Breakthrough: Proving the science in a lab wasn’t enough; we needed to show building owners it was real. Our team successfully disassembled our two-ton industrial prototype, stripped it to its essentials, and compressed it to fit safely inside a tight 8×20-foot bumper-pull demonstration trailer.
The Strategy: The resulting “Mark 1” mobile unit features a highly advanced, self-sufficient loop utilizing dual internal heat exchangers. Once the temperature cycle stabilizes, the system completely bypasses its baseline water heater, running entirely on recycled internal energy.
The Breakthrough: We took the Mark 1 trailer out of the shop and directly onto the open highway. After balancing a critical tongue-weight distribution crisis with our water storage tank, we safely hauled the trailer 200 miles north to its first live field demonstration at the New York Geo conference.
The Strategy: When the field site suffered sudden power generator failures and a broken geothermal drill bit, our team adapted on the fly. We safely extracted waste heat directly from a neighboring generator’s exhaust loop to power our system, proving our heat pump’s incredible adaptability under erratic field conditions.
The Breakthrough: We brought the trailer into dense urban terrain, conducting high-profile demonstrations for major real estate developers like Rockrose in Queens, followed by a final evaluation showcase under a scorching 100-degree summer sun at the historic Empire State Building.
The Strategy: In Queens, we demonstrated simultaneous cooling and heating by mapping out a system to capture a local grocery store’s refrigeration waste heat to supply a residential high-rise with hot water. At the Empire State Building, we paired our live steam-generation demo with tailored financial blueprints, showing judges that green retrofits are both mechanically and economically superior.
The Breakthrough: After two years of intense field-testing and rigorous evaluation against seven world-class finalists, Miller Proctor Nicholas was officially announced as the Grand Prize Winner of the Empire Technology Prize.
The Strategy: This historic victory has catalyzed a permanent corporate evolution. Alongside our recent acquisition of the Mobile Steam Boiler Rental Company, we have reorganized under a unified parent company, Hudson Street Holdings, and are establishing a brand-new corporate vertical dedicated exclusively to large-scale sustainability and building electrification.
