ORANGEBURG, N.Y., Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Solucorp Industries
Ltd. (Pink Sheets: SLUP), a leading developer and provider of cost
effective, permanent technologies for the remediation and
prevention of hazardous heavy metals, is pleased to announce that
the Company's Molecular Bonding System (MBS) technology was
successful in remediating hazardous mercury contaminated activated
carbon from a major U.S. cement manufacturer. The initial sample
was two hundred times greater than the EPA's non-hazardous Toxicity
Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) limit. After treatment
with Solucorp's proprietary MBS technology the TCLP testing showed
non-detectable results and was performed at EMSL Analytical, Inc.,
an independent certified testing laboratory. The cost of
transporting and disposing of any hazardous waste is three to four
times, or more, the cost of disposing of a non hazardous waste.
On August 6, 2010 the EPA issued
amendments to the Portland cement
manufacturing regulations and new source performance standards. The
amendment was set in place to reduce annual mercury emissions by an
estimated 92 percent. Existing kilns must comply within three years
of this rule. New kilns built after May
2009 must comply at startup or within sixty days after the
rule was published. There are an estimated 181 Portland cement
kilns that will be operating at 100 different facilities throughout
the United States by 2013. The
amended air toxics requirements will apply to 158 of those kilns.
The cement industry is the third largest producer of mercury
emissions in the U.S.
The Company through the use of two of its technologies has the
ability to not only reduce elemental and ionic mercury in flue gas
emissions, as discussed in our press release dated July 24, 2008, but it can also remediate any
other heavy metal contaminated waste streams that are present.
These technologies have already been proven extremely effective in
coal-fired power plants. The Company intends to contact all of the
cement plants affected by these regulations.
"The Company is extremely pleased with the results of the
testing performed on the activated carbon samples. Once again the
MBS technology shows how effective it is in the remediation of
heavy metal contaminants such as mercury. We look forward to
implementing our technologies into both existing and future cement
plants," said Jim Ryan, President of
Solucorp Industries.
