Marketwired
H2O Innovation Inc. ("H2O Innovation" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE: HEO)(ALTERNEXT: MNEMO:ALHEO), a complete water treatment
solutions company providing custom designed water treatment systems
along with operating and maintenance solutions, announces it has
signed three contracts to design and manufacture wastewater
treatment and water reuse systems in the United States. Totaling
CAD$2.0 million, these contracts bring the Company's sales backlog
to CAN$22.8 million and will be entirely completed within the
current financial year. Signing these contracts reasserts H2O
Innovation's position as a key player in the North American
municipal water treatment industry covering both wastewater
treatment and drinking water production, along with water reuse.
"We are very happy to announce the signing of these U.S.
contracts for wastewater treatment systems using our patented
Bio-Brane(TM) and Bio-Wheel(TM) technologies-particularly this week
as we are exhibiting at WEFTEC.09 in Orlando, Florida, the largest
annual water quality conference and exhibition in the United
States. The signing of these contracts results from the continuous
and ongoing expansion of our network of sales representatives in
the United States as well from the sustained efforts deployed
throughout the organization to ramp up our sales of our proprietary
patented wastewater treatment and water reuse systems", stated
Frederic Dugre, President and CEO of H2O Innovation.
First Bio-Brane(TM) system sold in California to serve in water
reuse application
H2O Innovation's first wastewater project in California will be
a 150,000 GPD Bio-Brane(TM) treatment plant built as two 75,000 GPD
trains for the Town of Buttonwillow, California, located just off
I-5 north of Bakersfield. The treated effluent will be discharged
for reuse for the irrigation of hay fields in the vicinity. The
Bio-Brane(TM) MBR (membrane bioreactor) system was selected by the
town's engineer based on its competitive initial capital cost, ease
of operation, low power consumption and on its ability to meet
California Title 22 Requirements for Health and Safety Standards
for Drinking Water. This project has all the characteristics to
become H2O Innovation's showcase Bio-Brane(TM) water reuse
project-in a high visibility and potential high growth region.
First Bio-Brane(TM) system contract in Colorado
H2O Innovation has been awarded its first contract in Colorado
to design, build and deliver a wastewater treatment system. This
contract was awarded to H2O Innovation by Cornell Companies, Inc.,
a major U.S. company owner and operator of correctional facilities.
It will see H2O Innovation design, build and deliver a 150,000 GPD
Bio-Brane(TM) membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant built
in two 75,000 GPD portable steel trains. This plant will be
delivered to the Hudson Correctional Facility currently under
construction in Hudson, Colorado. The contract will be executed on
a fast-track basis to meet the client's expedited delivery
requirements.
First Bio-Wheel(TM) contract in Alabama
The Hueytown School District-located in Hueytown, Alabama-has
awarded H2O Innovation a contract to design, build and deliver a
25,000 GPD Bio-Wheel(TM) wastewater treatment plant to be put in
service at the Hueytown High School. This is H2O Innovation's first
wastewater treatment plant in Alabama. The facility will be
furnished as a package plant in a single steel tank to include
equalization, denitrification and biological treatment.
"These first sales of Bio-Brane(TM) and Bio-Wheel(TM) systems in
California, Colorado and Alabama expand H2O Innovation's coverage
of the U.S. and directly contribute to better balancing the
Company's revenue sources between sales of drinking water, process
water and wastewater treatment systems. The Company is continuously
looking to add new sales representatives throughout the United
States and is enthused by the new system sales announced today",
concluded Frederic Dugre.
About the Bio-Wheel(TM) and Bio-Brane(TM) wastewater treatment
system
The Bio-Wheel(TM) biological wastewater treatment system has
been developed to combine the compactness and flexibility of the
activated sludge process with the stability and simplicity of the
fixed film process. The Bio-Wheel(TM) system integrates the two
processes in a single tank by using a simple mechanical drive
system. The rotation of the Bio-Wheel(TM) provides alternating air
and water cycles for the fixed film process, and aeration and
mixing for the activated sludge process. With the Bio-Wheel(TM)
system, advanced water treatment with high quality effluent is
possible by biodegradation of the organic compounds, nitrification,
and denitrification and uptake of excess phosphorus without using
chemicals. The combination of the two processes provides high
stability in a sturdy and reliable system, with low capital and
operating costs.
The Bio-Brane(TM) membrane bioreactor is an advanced water
treatment producing high quality effluent that surpasses the most
strigent regulations. The Bio-Brane(TM) membrane bioreactor (MBR)
combines the low power consumption of the Bio-Wheel(TM) patented
technology with a highly efficient submerged membrane process. This
wastewater treatment exceeds the most stringent standards for
effluent discharge or reuse, and eliminates the requirements for a
clarifier or a filter.
