GUELPH, ON, Nov. 8 /CNW/ - Dr. Gene Shelp, President of ENPAR Technologies Inc., is pleased to announce that the Company's subsidiary, Blue Print Technologies (Pty), and the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) report that on-site testing of the DesEL-24K Unit at the Bafokeng Platinum Mine in South Africa has been extremely successful. The Bafokeng Platinum Mine has now requested a proposal for a full-scale DesEL treatment plant with a capacity of treating one million litres of water per day. In the design under consideration, the waste stream would be eliminated and an ammonium-nitrate fertilizer generated for sale. Dr. Shelp stated that, "This would be the first commercial DesEL installation for ENPAR, and should lead to numerous mine-related water treatment opportunities, especially given the ever increasing stringency of water quality discharge guidelines." ENPAR's DesEL System is designed to remove dissolved inorganic substances such as arsenic, ammonia, nitrate, fluoride, cyanide, perchlorate, metals, and hardness from drinking water and waste waters. The system has been successfully tested in the CSIR laboratory on several industrial effluents provided by Majuba Power Station, Vaal River Gold Mine, Grootvlei Gold Mine, Navigation Section of Landau Colliery, Namakwa Sands (Heavy Minerals) and Bafokeng Platinum Mine. ENPAR will keep its investors informed on a timely basis as to the status of the Bafokeng Platinum Mine proposal. ENPAR is a "Technology Company" applying its patented and proprietary "Electrochemical Technologies" to the treatment of waste water and drinking water contaminated by metals or nutrients i.e., nitrate/ammonia associated with the mining, metal processing, chemical, agricultural, municipal and waste management sectors.
