Solucorp Subsidiary WITS Completes Contract for Wastewater Treatment Plant in Keysville, Virginia
August 03 2005 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Solucorp Industries Ltd. (OTC:SLUP) today announced that its
wholly-owned subsidiary WITS, Inc., has successfully installed its
patented electrocoagulation system into the Town of Keysville's
Wastewater Treatment Plant (Press Release 11/22/04). The selection
of WITS for this project was made by F.L. Showalter, Inc., the
general contractor on the project. WITS' electrocoagulation
technology was specified for copper removal from the Keysville
waste stream by B & B Consultants, a Virginia-based engineering
firm which had conducted an extensive review of WITS' technology
capabilities. WITS' proprietary technology utilizes
electrocoagulation to remove contaminants from wastewater. Although
electrocoagulation has been utilized for almost 100 years, WITS'
patents focus on proprietary technologies that refine the process
to increase contamination removal. WITS' system costs less to
install and lowers daily operating costs while eliminating
environmental problems such as metals pollution which are
encountered when using biological wastewater treatment systems.
WITS' electrocoagulation is a process based on the use of strong
electric fields and electrically induced oxidation and reduction
reactions. This process can in most cases take out more than 99
percent of heavy metals and is also able to kill microorganisms in
the wastewater. It is also able to precipitate charged colloids
(organics and inorganics) and remove significant amounts of other
ions (heavy metals) colloids and emulsions. This contract marks the
first for WITS that uses the company's proprietary new plate and
frame chamber design, which in addition to other cost benefits
simplifies maintenance and cleaning. The installation of this
system took place on Wednesday July 27th, 2005 and serves as a
model to be utilized by WITS for sale of similar units to the
wastewater treatment industry. Richard Runco, President of Solucorp
states, "Solucorp/WITS offers a turn key solution to private
companies and municipal, state, federal, and governmental agencies
experiencing wastewater contamination and all other metal pollution
problems in the air and soil." About WITS Inc. WITS Inc., founded
in 2001, has developed a proprietary line of electrocoagulation
products that provide advantages in most of the wastewater/waste
treatment sectors. In addition to pricing advantages, the WITS EC
system produces a better water end result while using fewer harmful
chemicals. The major water/wastewater areas where the WITS
technology can be utilized with significant benefits includes water
utilities; wastewater utilities; sludge processing; combined sewer
overflows; industrial pretreatment; offshore oil rigs; livestock
industry and in food processing plants. About Solucorp Solucorp
Industries Ltd. consists of WITS, Inc., Solucorp and Integrated
Fixation System, Co., three companies involved in the environmental
remediation industry, see web site www.solucorpltd.com. Solucorp's
patented Molecular Bonding System (MBS(R)) technology can clean up
and treat wastes where heavy metals are present by chemically
binding those metals so that they will not leach and contaminate
the groundwater. The MBS technology has been used throughout the
East Coast in states including New York, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. Solucorp's MBS technology can be reviewed on the EPA
website at www.epa.gov by typing in the New Search Space,
"Molecular Bonding System". This technology is also presented in a
periodical produced by the EPA titled Superfund Innovative
Technology Evaluation ("SITE") Program, Technology Profiles
Edition, and Demonstration Program. About Integrated Fixation
System The Integrated Fixation System (IFS) technology was
developed from Solucorp's EPA "SITE" Program proven MBS (R)
process. The IFS technology deals with pollution prevention rather
than existing contamination problems. IFS can be integrated into
many types of product applications. IFS prevents future
contamination from heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic,
chromium (hex or tri), cadmium, zinc, nickel, selenium, antimony,
barium, beryllium, silver, thallium and vanadium. IFS can be
applied through a multitude of delivery systems both as solids and
non-solid. The solid compound delivery systems include, for example
blocks, tablets, spikes and flakes. Some examples of non-solid
delivery systems include, for example laminates, inks, pastes
powders, gels, and slurries. IFS can be designed to activate and
release under conditions such as exposure to light, pressure,
acids, natural oxidation, etc. IFS has no limitations in how and
where it can be integrated into metal containing products.
Customized products can be designed and manufactured to meet
specific needs. The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking
statements, which are based on current expectations. Actual
results, including the timing and amount of revenues recognized,
contracts awarded and performed and net income may differ due to
such factors as: delays in payments on contracts due to dealings
with governmental and foreign entities; fluctuations in operating
costs associated with changes in project specifications; economic
and other conditions affecting the ability of prospective clients
to finance projects; and other risks generally affecting the
financing of projects.
