ECOfluid Wins Technology Merit Award From EBJ

ECOfluid Systems Inc. Wins the Technology Merit Award from Environmental Business Journal's 2006 Business Achievement Awards.

TECHNOLOGY MERIT AWARDS: WATER/WASTEWATER

ECOfluid Systems for developing the USBF packaged wastewater treatment system for subdivisions, golf courses, agricultural and industrial projects with flows of less than 2-million gallons per day. In a review of 67 technologies for the on-site treatment of wastewater in California done by the University of California-Davis for the California State Water Resources Control Board, the USBF modular treatment plant was the only system to achieve an A rating (the highest) in all categories of evaluation. An A rating means that USBF achieves less than 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for biological oxygen demand, total suspended solids, and total nitrogen; less than 2 mg/L for total phosphorus; and less than 2 mg/L for fecal coliform. ECOfluid provides treatment that meets regulations for reducing nutrients for variable flows. It features a small footprint, costs less to buy and less to operate than sequencing batch reactors or membrane bioreactors, and uses a fraction of the power that most systems require. Based

on this study, and the fact the company won this year's Frost and Sullivan award for Technology Leadership and filed a new patent to advance the USBF technology, ECOfluid was able to expand its distribution network to meet the constant demand for its product.
