OriginClear’s Progressive Water Recovers Millions of Gallons for Texas City’s Drinking Water
OriginClear
Inc. (OTC/QB: OOIL),
a leading provider of water treatment solutions, today announced that a
system built by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dallas-based Progressive
Water Treatment Inc. (PWT), is recovering 700 gallons per minute
(gpm) of previously-rejected water at the existing RO treatment plant in
Horizon City, Texas. The recovered water is being blended with raw well
water for consumption as city drinking water.
“Horizon City is now able to use this water as a source for drinking
water,” said Marc Stevens, PWT’s President. “That’s over a million
gallons per day that the city doesn’t have to treat, which could serve
up to a third of its population’s needs.”
PWT fabricated and installed dual 350 gpm reverse osmosis (RO) systems
to recover reject water from existing, primary RO systems. According to
Stevens, the new systems have operated at more than 99% efficiency since
their commissioning.
“This is certainly not our largest project to date, but from a technical
point of view, it’s one of the most satisfying,” added Stevens. “It
challenged our engineering staff who were able to reclaim 700 gpm of
water for direct reuse by the city as drinking water.”
Dallas-based PWT is the first company in the newly-formed OriginClear
Group™ of water service companies and is a profitable and fast-growing
designer, builder and service provider for a wide range of industrial
water treatment applications.
“We are very happy with our recent acquisition of PWT, which is enjoying
a steady stream of successful installations in the region,” said Bill
Charneski, President of The OriginClear Group. “The company appears
well positioned for an outstanding year in 2016.”
“As corporations increasingly outsource their water treatment, companies
like PWT are stepping in to serve them,” said Riggs
Eckelberry, OriginClear’s Chief Executive Officer. “We intend to
help unify these outsourced water services companies for the benefit of
outsourcing customers across North America and eventually, the world.”
Global
Water Intelligence recently stated, “With regulations relating to
wastewater treatment and discharge growing ever-more stringent and the
cost of sourcing water continually rising, operators of industrial
plants are seeking full water management services to provide
cost-effective solutions that maximize water and energy efficiency,
allowing them to focus on their core production businesses.”
OriginClear believes that companies in its OriginClear Group will
benefit from this long-term outsourcing trend.
