About this update from Originclear, Inc.
[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n OriginClear \n Inc. (OTC/QB: OOIL), \n a leading provider of water treatment solutions, today announced that \n its wholly-owned subsidiary for Asia, OriginClear Hong Kong (OCHK), \n plans to target the Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment market in \n Malaysia. Totaling more than 65 \n million tonnes annually, POME effluent is widely recognized as a \n major environmental concern because its contamination level can be 100 \n times higher than domestic sewage.\n \n \n To target this market, OCHK has agreed to launch a Joint Venture (JV) \n with Osmocell \n Malaysia SDN Bhd, a Malaysian engineering and manufacturing company \n for water purification systems. The JV company, OriginClear Water \n Solutions SDN Bhd (OWS) is now operational.\n \n \n Jean-Louis \n “JL” Kindler, President of OriginClear Technologies, and Managing \n Director of OriginClear (HK), signed the licensing agreements this week \n in Kuala Lumpur, and met with prospective customers. In addition to \n POME, OWS also plans to treat “black water” or landfill leachate, which \n OCHK has already demonstrated \n in China.\n \n \n Two GE Water veterans, David Woo and Alvin Chong, founded Osmocell \n Malaysia in 2011 to capitalize on more than twenty years of experience \n and connections in the region. According to Osmocell, it has now \n installed more than 20 Ultra Filtration and Reverse Osmosis systems in \n Malaysia and the region. Osmocell’s Facebook \n page illustrates several recent installations.\n \n \n “While we are growing fast in membranes and filters, the market is \n crowded,” said David Woo, Managing Director of Osmocell Malaysia. “By \n teaming with OriginClear, we are now able to address the whole range of \n very challenging contaminants that our customer base needs.”\n \n \n “We especially value the ability of Electro Water Separation™ with Advanced \n Oxidation (EWS:AOx™) to remove fine suspended solids, oils and \n dissolved organic contaminants, efficiently and continuously, to assure \n clog-free functioning of our downstream membranes and filters. EWS, \n combined with existing membranes technology, makes recycling \n economically viable.”\n \n \n “We have already submitted several system proposals, and prospects look \n extremely promising,” add...
