[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nGUELPH, ON, June 28 /CNW/ - ENPAR Technologies is pleased to announce\nthat the research centre of Veolia Environnement, which is dedicated to water,\nhas decided to partner with ENPAR in the further development of DesEl systems\nfor the municipal and industrial market.\n\n\nThis announcement follows approximately 12 months of independent\nsuccessful testing by the research centre of Veolia Environnement at Ecole\nPolytechnique de Montreal, Montreal, PQ, Canada.\n\n\nVeolia Environnement is a world leader in environmental services. With\nmore than 300,000 employees the company has operations all around the world\nand provides tailored solutions to meet the needs of municipal and industrial\ncustomers in four complementary segments: water management, waste management,\nenergy management and freight and passenger transportation. Veolia Water, the\nwater division of Veolia Environnement, is the world leader in water and\nwastewater services. Specialized in outsourcing services for municipal\nauthorities, as well as industrial and service companies, it is also one of\nthe world's major designers of technological solutions and constructor of\nfacilities needed in water and wastewater services. Veolia Water serves\n108 million people worldwide.\n\n\nThe research centre of Veolia Environnement reports that the DesEl system\nhas been demonstrated to be particularly promising for the selective reduction\nof nitrate, ammonium and probably arsenic, selenium, boron and fluoride in\nwaters with less than 0.5 grams of sodium chloride (salt) per litre of water.\n\n\nFurthermore, the economic limit in energy consumption compared to reverse\nosmosis is currently at 0.5 grams of dissolved solids per litre of water,\nwhich represents drinking water applications. The research centre further\nreports that the potential applications or economic limit could be increased\nby many fold with future developments in the technology.\n\n\nLike the historical marketing cycle for membrane technologies which\nresulted in dominance of current water markets for management of dissolved\nions, ENPAR's management believes that the Company is on the cusp of enormous\ncommercial success that will be fuelled by large scale manufacturing and\ncontinuous technology advancements.\n\n\nDr. Gene Shelp, President and CEO of ENPAR Technologies Inc.
