[{"type":"text","content":"ENPAR Enters Into Agreement With Chemsbro of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nPARTNERS TO ESTABLISH COMMERICAL-SCALE ESD WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM\n\n \n \nSeptember 11, 2013, Guelph, Ontario. Dr. Gene Shelp, President and CEO of ENPAR Technologies, Inc. (TSX:ENP) (\"ENPAR\" or \"the Company\") is very pleased to announce that the Company has executed an agreement with CHEMSBRO of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for the establishment of a jointly funded commercial-scale ESD system in Saudi Arabia.\n\n\n \nThis initial ESD plant, valued at several hundred thousand dollars, will demonstrate the efficacy of this novel technology to achieve high ion removal efficiencies combined with high water recoveries, while addressing numerous water treatment issues related to the recycle/reuse market and the energy and petrochemical industries. Developed as a scalable system, increased water volume can readily be accommodated with additional ESD modules.\n\n\n \nCHEMSBRO, a member of Saudi Brothers Commercial Group, provides integrated chemical solutions and specialty chemicals for water and wastewater treatment plants, and is a leader in specialty niche industrial sectors. CHEMSBRO was awarded a three year contract in Riyadh to supply services and specialty chemicals for seven water treatment plants, which in total supply about 30% of the water in the city.\n\n\n \nMassive investment in the water and wastewater sector in the KSA is essential in the coming years. Mr. Nizar Kammourie, Managing Director & Co-founder of CHEMSBRO, revealed that industrial and economic development, population growth and the need to treat waste streams are the key factors for increased interests in novel treatment technologies in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Kammourie projected that USD $60 billion is the anticipated investment over the next six years and highlighted the importance of water re-use for many industries. The National Water Company plans to increase the re-use of water to 30% by the year 2020. Water re-use currently accounts for 1% of the water supply in the KSA.\n\n\n \nDr. Shelp commented, \"ENPAR welcomes the opportunity to introduce its state-of-the-art electrochemical water treatment systems in the Middle East with a respected partner such as CHEMSBRO.
