BLAINE, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 24, 2008 -- Purio (OTC BB:
PURO.OB -
News) is pleased to announce that
it has finalized arrangements to demonstrate the versatility
and capability
of its patented technology and equipment to the world over
the spring and
summer months of 2008.
"We plan a two-phase demonstration over the next ninety
days," says Earl
Switenky, spokesman for Purio. "The first phase of the demo
period will be
an extension of the 'Drinking Water Production' test that
was initiated in
late 2007. This previous test run proved the transportable
technology's
capability to economically produce safe drinking water from
a polluted
source. This year's run will give us an opportunity to design
and
demonstrate the entire process train at full capacity of
nearly 38,000 LPD,
(10,000 USGPD) per module. Since our demo unit has two modules
on the skid
the total capacity would be about 75,000 LPD. That's a significant
amount
of safe drinking water per day!" says Switenky.
The second phase of the demonstration will focus on the
Purio unit's
capability to reclaim residential wastewater by clarifying
and sanitizing
it. Purio has reached an agreement with the Town of Meath
Park for the
hosting of this demonstration. The equipment used will be
the same
equipment as was used in phase one. Meath Park will provide
the location
for the demonstration which is adjacent to the present sewage
lagoons. The
process is designed to produce product water that will meet
safe-disposal
standards and will be suitable for irrigation.
Albert Roode, councilor and spokesman for the Village of
Meath Park, says,
"Our village council is pleased to host the Purio demonstration.
We will be
monitoring the project with great interest because, like
many other smaller
communities in North America, we are looking for potential
cost-saving
advantages that this newer technology may provide to our
already stretched
maintenance and expansion budgets."
Purio's patented process has a distinct advantage in that
it uses no
membrane style filters. This design feature helps to keep
costs down and
flow-through capacity high by utilizing a mechanical clarification
system.
Switenky says, "Inquiries from many countries around the
world are arriving
regularly and we are looking forward to the opportunity
of meeting
delegations from countries and regions around the globe."
