Ecosphere, whose Ozonix® technology provides a chemical-free solution for high-volume water recycling that removes the need for dangerous biocides, yet completely destroys the cell walls of bacteria while fighting scaling and corrosion inside pipes through an advanced process that combines ozone saturation, acoustic/hydrodynamic cavitation and electrochemical oxidation, announced a helpful list today of key industries and applications where the patented Ozonix Reactor can be licensed to help change the face of the global water treatment market.
George Chapas, the Director of New Business Development at ESPH, emboldened by the success of the Ozonix rollout in the oil and gas sector, proclaimed that the company is boldly moving in to all other areas where the technology can replace chemicals, for instance chlorine disinfectants (ozone purifies water 3k times faster than chlorine). Chapas also tipped his hat to markets that the company is in full discussions with strategic partners all over the planet to break this technology in across sectors like agribusiness and food/beverage production, in addition to more obvious applications in industrial, mining, marine use, and municipal sewage water treatment.
Chapas pointed to the company’s outstanding track record in the U.S. fracking industry, where Ozonix hardware has been used to treat a whopping 3B gallons since 2008, as the basis for attracting some of the world’s top engineering outfits to this exceptionally broad-spectrum treatment technology, which can be licensed in any major country on earth for a variety of non-energy related treatment. Everything from aquaculture and irrigation runoff, to on-board marine grey water processing, ESPH knows they have a winner in this self-contained technology that can easily handle 3.3k gallons/minute with a single advanced oxidation system. Easily mobilized and easy to transport, these units can be deployed wherever they need to be in a flash and the hardware is powerful enough to oxidize even hydroxyl radicals (oxidation potential of 2.80V), which are well beyond ozone alone (2.07 V) or chlorine’s (1.36 V) disinfecting reach.
Agribusiness should see massive traction here, from grain growing/processing and livestock/feedlots, to pulp and paper. Water parks are another solid bead and at the other end of the stick, obvious applications in mining share tons of overlap from hydrocarbon recovery implementation-wise, with acid mine drainage, leaching/recovery, process water treatment, and tailing ponds all being great targets. The best part of the story is ESPH’s strong IP position, with the company sitting pretty on five approved U.S. patents covering multiple, integrated oxidation technologies for treating bacteria in industries where carcinogenic chemicals are currently the norm.
ESPH Director and the CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage/ICAP Ocean Tomo Auctions, Dean Becker, emphasized the dominant IP position the company holds in this area and further explained that with dozens of U.S., as well International patents pending, ESPH is in prime partnering territory over their proven Ozonix technology. This hardware is a big win for global players who have the financing/end-market reach to deliver solutions and ESPH will continue to open up broader vectors all over the world via licensing as people catch on to this much better way of doing things.
Chairman and CEO of the company, Dennis McGuire, pointed to the partnership with top energy services sector-focused water treatment firm, Fidelity National Environmental Solutions, as a perfect example of the sort of “world-class” partnerships possible here and pledged to go well beyond their stable foothold in global energy market development. McGuire has big plans for Ozonix technology and wants to see reactors everywhere, across all industries, punishing bacteria and helping reduce not just chemical pollution, but the daunting health effects associated with chemical-based treatment solutions. Targeting every city and country on earth seems like a big goal, but lower water treatment costs and superior methodology are crucial for preserving increasingly scarce and absolutely vital water resources: ESPH won’t have to chase the market, the market will be chasing this technology.
Also noted as key areas for licensing were landscape irrigation, sludge processing, soil/groundwater remediation, surface water treatment, as well as storm and drainage water treatment. Similar performance across disparate industries where water usage is important will be a big part of the company’s success and we should see the technology emerge more and more in areas like automotive, biotech/pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing as well.
