CALGARY, ALBERTA - August 11, 2010 (Investorideas.com Water Stocks Newswire) - Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC.BB:WSCE), a clean water technology company focused on implementing its low-cost solutions into several markets including the oil & gas and marine industries, today further defined its strategy to enter the market to provide services for the oil spill recovery efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. Management is in active discussions with contractors and government agencies involved in the Gulf clean-up efforts to attempt to obtain the right opportunity for Wescorp to introduce its H2Omaxx water remediation technology in support of the oil spill recovery efforts.
"Our goal is to locate a right opportunity for Wescorp's H2Omaxx technology to be deployed in a marine environment in order to demonstrate its unusually cost effective and efficient oil/water separation," states Robert G. Power, Executive Chairman of Wescorp. "We made a conscious decision to not jump into this new area until we clearly understood the issues and challenges related to the Gulf spill and clean up efforts. As a result, Wescorp has been actively examining and receiving feedback about the actual technology challenges and opportunities for on- and off-shore oil/water separation.
"In September, we expect to achieve two important milestones. We anticipate receiving the independent test data from the ongoing commercial H2Omaxx operation from the New Sarepta, Alberta site. That same month, we also look forward to taking delivery of our first larger capacity 10,000 barrel-a-day treatment unit. At that point, we believe Wescorp will be well positioned to deploy a land-based H2Omaxx unit for use in the Gulf of Mexico clean-up.
"It is important to recognize that the clean-up will go on for many months, and possibly years. We want to ensure that our technology works properly for the specific Gulf circumstances, and we have the confidence that H2Omaxx will then prove itself in the field. Few of the new technologies that have been deployed to date in the initial clean-up operations have achieved any new efficiencies. Our objective is to set new performance standards," Power said.
Richard Dalati, VP Gulf of Mexico and International Business, added, "Wescorp has been actively pursuing opportunities for both on-shore and off-shore oil spill recovery applications in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, we are also pursuing opportunities related to off-shore production water remediation applications. H2Omaxx technology is economically competitive and environmentally benign, as it does not use any chemicals. Operationally, the unit is simple to use, and can quickly and efficiently process high volumes of contaminated water.
"Looking ahead, we believe, as do other leaders in the industry, that the off-shore oil and gas industry will come under much stricter regulatory requirements for oil/water separation and for emergency response to oil spills. Our H2Omaxx technology provides a unique solution for both of these regulatory objectives. We expect Wescorp to play an active role and be part of the discussion going forward in terms of the technologies and standards that will likely be adopted to meet the new regulatory requirements.
"Equally important," Dalati continued, "Wescorp has now designed a unit to operate in a variety of marine environments - at sea, on a drilling rig, or on a ship. There is presently no technology that operates in a large sea swell (heave) environment under a wide variety of conditions. We expect testing will prove that H2Omaxx will operate effectively at sea, and the technology will be in demand by the marine industry because of its low cost, small footprint and light weight specifications," concluded Dalati.
H2Omaxx Technology
H2Omaxx has been proven to be a safe, effective, economical and environmentally friendly process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from water. Using Wescorp's nano-aeration technology, independent test results have shown the H2Omaxx technology to reduce the oil content in produced water to less than 10 parts per million without the use of chemicals, filters or heat.
Use of H2Omaxx provides important cost benefits to the operator when compared with the traditional multi-technology approach to remediate water. H2Omaxx can lower both the operator's capital costs and operating costs significantly. In addition, new revenues are created by the capture of barrels of oil that would otherwise be disposed.
Land-Based or Sea-Based Solution
H2Omaxx technology has been designed to produce the H2Omaxx unit in a variety of sizes, including a mobile unit and commercial units (2,500, 10,000 and 65,000 barrels-per-day). H2Omaxx solutions address a wide range of oil/water separation needs:
On-Shore Production Operations
The highly mobile H2Omaxx unit can be rapidly transported to facilities for short- or long-term commercial operations. The 10,000 barrel-per-day unit has its own storage, separation and containment tanks, micro-aeration generators and firmware and computer automation technology to allow water remediation with minimal human supervision. Wescorp expects to take delivery of its first manufactured 10,000 barrel-per-day unit in September.
Large Volume/Sea Water Emergency Response
A large volume skid-mounted unit has been designed to clean up to 65,000 barrels or 2.8 million gallons of oily seawater per day. Multiple units could be coupled together to meet the demands required in the Gulf disaster. The H2Omaxx oil/seawater separation technology is designed to remediate oily water to a standard to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's limits of 29 parts per million (ppm) monthly average – 42 ppm maximum daily "oil and grease" content. This unit has been designed to operate either on land or on the sea. Wescorp will market a large scale emergency response unit as part of its ongoing marketing efforts to marine and emergency response customers. Wescorp will seek to secure a customer for this type of unit before commissioning its construction.
Off-Shore Oil & Gas Production
Wescorp believes that a compact skid-mounted unit can be used to remediate produced water from an off-shore production platform to a level that should allow it to be discharged overboard. The unit would provide a smaller footprint (less weight, less size and less energy requirements) than the multiple pieces of equipment traditionally used for offshore platforms. Wescorp also intends to market a compact skid-mounted unit as part of its ongoing sales efforts.
Key operating advantages for the off-shore industry are expected to include:
High Throughput / Low Retention: The low retention time required by H2Omaxx technology will greatly reduce the weight of water in process relative to the throughput.
Wide Input Tolerances: Many other technologies only perform at peak levels within a narrow range of input flow rates and/or the percentage of hydrocarbons in the input solution. These operationally sensitive technologies require preconditioning or waste storage containers to manage the input specifications. This operation of the H2Omaxx unit will not require preconditioning and storage, thus decreasing overall treatment system cost, weight and space requirements.
Because of these traditional technology challenges, many production platforms choose instead to ship produced water to on-shore processing facilities, thereby significantly increasing costs and environmental operating risks. These costs and risks will be mitigated with the use of H2Omaxx.

CALGARY, ALBERTA - August 6, 2010 (Investorideas.com Water Stocks Newswire) - Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC.BB:WSCE), a clean water technology company focused on implementing its low-cost solutions into several markets, including the oil & gas and marine industries, has upgraded the design and increased the capacity of its H2Omaxx mobile hydrocarbon water remediation unit currently in production.
In March, Wescorp announced it had entered into an agreement with K-Line Trailers Ltd. (www.klinetrailers.com) for the design and construction of a mobile 3,000 barrel-per-day commercial grade H2Omaxx unit. K-Line, a Vancouver-based specialty equipment design and fabrication company, is now building instead the next generation self-contained, mobile H2Omaxx unit. The new 10,000 barrel-per-day unit is designed to be rapidly transported to remote locations.
The design phase of the increased capacity new unit is now complete; fabrication has begun, and Wescorp expects to take delivery of the new unit by the end of September. Upon completion of the commissioning phase, the unit will be available to be marketed for potential customer sites, initially in Western Canada. Wescorp also intends to market the unit's services in the Gulf of Mexico area.
Robert G. Power, Executive Chairman of Wescorp, stated, "We expect that testing and commercial operations of this larger unit will demonstrate that increasing the capacity of H2Omaxx does not diminish its effectiveness, but instead increases potential applications. Operationally, the mobile unit is designed to be easy to use and to quickly and efficiently process larger volumes of hydrocarbon-contaminated water."
This mobile, 10,000 barrel-per-day unit is designed to be rapidly placed on sites for the purposes of demonstrating the technology and for use for short-term commercial operations. The unit will have its own storage, separation and containment tanks, micro-aeration generators, and firmware and computer automation technology to allow water remediation with minimal human supervision.
Benefits of H2Omaxx Technology
Use of H2Omaxx will provide important cost benefits to the operator when compared with the traditional multi-technology approach to remediate water. H2Omaxx will lower both the operator's capital costs and operating costs significantly. Further, H2Omaxx is designed to introduce new revenue through the capture of barrels of oil for sale that would otherwise be subject to disposal.
In earlier tests and demonstrations, H2Omaxx has been proven to be a safe, effective, economical and environmentally friendly process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from water. Using Wescorp's nano-aeration technology, independent test results have shown it can reduce the oil content in produced water to less than 10 parts per million without the use of chemicals, filters or heat.

As part of the European Energy Directives and following recommendations from the CRE* (Commission de Régulation de l'Energie) to begin testing smart meters in France, GrDF decided to set up various pilot programs, in four different towns, for residential gas meters over a period of one year. The objective of this experiment is to study the possibility of a future mass deployment for France's 11 million residential gas consumers.
In Saint-Omer, Itron is providing automated meter reading by supplying, installing and maintaining its EverBlu fixed data collection system. With its reliable, self-healing wireless mesh network and graphical data analysis and reporting tools, EverBlu is the ideal choice for utilities looking to streamline operations and acquire more detailed consumption data in a variety of environments. To date, Itron has already automated 4,000 points.
Benefits for end-users will include remote reading (no need for the customer to be present), more accurate and frequent readings (monthly or any time there is a change in the contract) and an improved understanding of gas consumption—thereby enabling a change in gas usage behaviour (source GrDF).
This pilot demonstrates Itron's capacity to develop and deploy complete solutions, including smart gas meters, infrastructure and associated software.
Commented Marcel Regnier, senior VP and COO, Itron International, "Itron has a broad experience with major energy utilities all over the world, and has several initial deployments with key gas distribution companies in Europe. We are very proud to have a leading role in this project which confirms Itron as a strong and reliable partner for future pilots and implementations in smart metering."

Visit this company: www.wescorpenergy.com
CALGARY, ALBERTA - July 29, 2010 (Investorideas.com Water Stocks Newswire) - Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC.BB:WSCE), a clean water technology company focused on implementing its low-cost solutions into several markets, including the oil & gas and marine industries, today provided an update on the operations of its H2Omaxx unit operating in its first commercial environment.
Turn to a leader for investing in waterInvestorideas.com and www.water-stocks.comResearch Global Water StocksVisit our Water Stocks Directory
As previously announced, the 2,000 barrel-per-day H2Omaxx unit was connected in May to treat contaminated water and hydrocarbon waste material collected at the operating facilities at Cancen Oil Canada Corporation’s oil recovery and disposal New Sarepta treatment site, outside of Edmonton, Alberta. The site was selected because it receives a wide range of oil-contaminated fluids, thereby enabling H2Omaxx to be utilized under a broad range of input products.
Throughout June and July, Cancen experienced challenges in maintaining continuous operation of its New Sarepta fluid disposal well. With the disposal well not operating to receive the treated fluids, and without alternate storage, the H2Omaxx unit was prevented from continuous processing. "While during this period, the H2Omaxx unit did not have an opportunity to operate 24/7, it did receive and treat a wide range of oil-contaminated fluids," stated Robert G. Power, Executive Chairman of Wescorp. "We maximized the use of the site during this time by treating available fluids. This included fluids that have much higher oil content than any the H2Omaxx unit had previously treated.
"While H2Omaxx previously had treated produced water, which included approximately 2%-3% oil content, we were able at the Cancen site to successfully treat fluids with oil content up to 15%. This is an important development, as it provides further strong operating evidence that the H2Omaxx system offers a very wide range of water remediation capabilities that will enable customers to experience significant cost savings over traditional multi-technology remediation systems."
Cancen has now advised Wescorp that the disposal well is operating on a continuous, partial capacity basis, enabling the unit to operate 24/7. Wescorp also now has access to three large fluid storage tanks on-site, which will enable the treatment of additional contaminated fluids if the disposal well operation is interrupted for a period of time.
"Our goal is to demonstrate the superiority of the Wescorp H2Omaxx technology in a commercial environment," continued Power. "On July 21st, we began a 30-day, 24-hour operating cycle, operating the unit without continuous on-site supervision. Importantly, the oil contamination levels of the in-going fluid to be treated, and the treated fluid, will both be tested regularly. The test results of those fluids will be submitted to independent laboratories for analysis and reporting. We believe that these tests will document the operational effectiveness and specific cost savings of H2Omaxx in comparison with competing technologies. If we receive the lab results a few weeks after the conclusion of the 30-day run, we can expect to publish summary test result data by mid-September."

(Investorideas.com water stocks newswire, www.water-stocks.com) Everywhere you look people are trying to do more with less. Reduce costs, increase efficiency, reduce energy use, recover resources. There are strong economic drivers to do all of these things, they also happen to be sustainable.
Turn to a leader for investing in waterInvestorideas.com and www.water-stocks.comResearch Global Water StocksVisit our Water Stocks Directory
Last Thursday (July 22nd 2010) I moderated the first in the BlueTech Tracker(TM) Webinar series: Mineral & Resource Recovery from Wastewater. We featured four companies with innovative technologies, and perhaps even more importantly, innovative business models. The companies were Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies, Calera, CASTion and Oberon. Ostara produces a slow release fertilizer product, Crystal Green(TM) from wastewater, Calera, a Khosla Ventures backed company whose technology is part of a new infrastructure designed to view carbon, not as a pollutant, but as a resource. Calera might be accused of having a Superman complex in the cleantech sector, in that their technology simultaneously contributes to solving two of the most pressing environmental issues of our time: climate change and water scarcity. Calera sequesters carbon from power plants, produces a low carbon cement and helps to desalinate water. The CASTion Corporation has an Ammonia Recovery Process (ARP) which can produce an ammonia fertilizer product from wastewater and recently won a $27.1M contract with the City of New York to provide a cost effective method for the City to achieve compliance at its 26th Ward Wastewater Treatment plant.
Concluding the quartet, was Oberon FMR. Oberon takes wastewater from the food processing industry, and through the application of some clever biotechnology (single cell protein synthesis), produces a value added, high protein, fish meal replacement for use in the aquaculture industry.
A few key take-aways:
1. This is about Costs
To get out of the starting gate with wastewater technologies in this area, you have to have a compelling value proposition. Resource recovery can enable a technology provider to off-set operational and capital costs and thereby provide a cost effective solution to their clients.
Ahren Britton, CTO with Ostara put it very succintly with the observation, 'as a standalone wastewater treatment technology, we wont always be the cheapest way to remove phosphorus; as a fertilizer production company, we might not compete with current ore prices, but put the two together, and that's what makes for the winning proposition'.
David Delasanta, President of CASTion noted that the decision by the City of New York to go with their ARP system on a new project was driven by economics. The City had a regulatory requirement to remove ammonia and the ARP system represented the lowest cost option occupying the smallest footprint. The City in fact sole-sourced this option from CASTion.
The Sustainability and political angle can help to push these projects over the line, as the person who finally signs off on expenditure is likely to be a political animal. However, to get this far in the process, you first have to convince the people on the ground that this is a good idea, and their concerns tend to be less politically motivated and more related to 'will this work and how much will it cost?'.
Seth Terry, Oberon VP of Operations said they have found that the Corporate Sustainability angle of their approach to turn food processing wastewater into a feedstock for fish meal replacement production, has peaked the interest of a number of major Corporations and was one of the factors which helped them to secure a contract with Miller Coors to construct a full-scale demonstration facility at their site.
Here again though, there is a monetary value to a company in terms of brand value to be able to show its shareholders that instead of generating a waste product which required disposal, they were able to 'up-cycle' the resources in their wastewater and in doing so, off-set the unsustainable harvesting of biomass from oceans to produce fish-meal for fish farms.
2. Resource Recovery is becoming a geo-political and security issue
Certain resources such as phosphorus are becoming a geo-political issue. China has recently put an export tax on phosphorus to discourage the export of this valuable commodity, to preseve it and keep it a home to enable food production. China is known for its ability to take a long term view on things and this is an early indicator of how important this resource may become. It is worth noting, that like oil, phosphorus resources are found in a number of unstable regions of the world.
3. Companies which succeed in this area need to know two markets
The flip side of producing a product while treating a waste, is that you need to simultaneously build an outlet and channels to market for your product, at the same time as you are developing the infrastructure to produce it. This is challenging when working with a variable feedstock (wastewater) and when the quantities you produce, initially, do not make a dent in the larger market for that commodity.
To succeed, companies need to understand the wastewater treatment market and also, understand the market for the commodity they are producing.
In the case of Calera, this means they have to know the concrete and aggregate business. In the case of Oberon, they have to know the fish-meal business. Ostara and CASTion both have to understand the dynamics of the fertilizer industry. When you hear Calera CEO, Brent Constanz speak about the nuances of the concrete and aggregate market, and then switch back to the importance of piloting on different wastewater streams, you get a feel for the level and depth of understanding required to succeed in straddling these divergent worlds.
At least a part of the sustainable business advantage these companies have, is their ability to understand and create a business model which meets customers needs on both sides of the fence. Companies that can do this are pulling away from the herd. When you combine this with technical know-how, continued innovation and a strong IP position, you have a sustainable first mover advantage which will be difficult for a 'me-too' to catch up with in the short term.
The next Webinar in our BlueTech Tracker(TM) Series is on Thursday July 29th at 12 noon PST and will put the spotlight on Microbial Fuel Cells and Bioelectrochemical systems. This group of technologies has the potential to generate electricity from wastewater and produce fuels and chemicals which can be sold. Companies such as Emefcy and Bilexys are bringing these technologies to market.
Eytan Levy, CEO of Emefcy, recently received funding from Pond Ventures to bring its MFC technology to market with a focus initially on high strength industrial wastewater streams. The Australian technology start-up Bilexys uses bioelectrochemical systems to produce commodity chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide.
Again the approach is the same, how to squeeze some value out of that wastewater.

Last Thursday (July 22nd 2010) I moderated the first in the BlueTech Tracker(TM) Webinar series: Mineral & Resource Recovery from Wastewater. We featured four companies with innovative technologies, and perhaps even more importantly, innovative business models. The companies were Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies, Calera, CASTion and Oberon. Ostara produces a slow release fertilizer product, Crystal Green(TM) from wastewater, Calera, a Khosla Ventures backed company whose technology is part of a new infrastructure designed to view carbon, not as a pollutant, but as a resource. Calera might be accused of having a Superman complex in the cleantech sector, in that their technology simultaneously contributes to solving two of the most pressing environmental issues of our time: climate change and water scarcity. Calera sequesters carbon from power plants, produces a low carbon cement and helps to desalinate water. The CASTion Corporation has an Ammonia Recovery Process (ARP) which can produce an ammonia fertilizer product from wastewater and recently won a $27.1M contract with the City of New York to provide a cost effective method for the City to achieve compliance at its 26th Ward Wastewater Treatment plant.
Concluding the quartet, was Oberon FMR. Oberon takes wastewater from the food processing industry, and through the application of some clever biotechnology (single cell protein synthesis), produces a value added, high protein, fish meal replacement for use in the aquaculture industry.
A few key take-aways:
1. This is about Costs
To get out of the starting gate with wastewater technologies in this area, you have to have a compelling value proposition. Resource recovery can enable a technology provider to off-set operational and capital costs and thereby provide a cost effective solution to their clients.
Ahren Britton, CTO with Ostara put it very succintly with the observation, 'as a standalone wastewater treatment technology, we wont always be the cheapest way to remove phosphorus; as a fertilizer production company, we might not compete with current ore prices, but put the two together, and that's what makes for the winning proposition'.
David Delasanta, President of CASTion noted that the decision by the City of New York to go with their ARP system on a new project was driven by economics. The City had a regulatory requirement to remove ammonia and the ARP system represented the lowest cost option occupying the smallest footprint. The City in fact sole-sourced this option from CASTion.
The Sustainability and political angle can help to push these projects over the line, as the person who finally signs off on expenditure is likely to be a political animal. However, to get this far in the process, you first have to convince the people on the ground that this is a good idea, and their concerns tend to be less politically motivated and more related to 'will this work and how much will it cost?'.
Seth Terry, Oberon VP of Operations said they have found that the Corporate Sustainability angle of their approach to turn food processing wastewater into a feedstock for fish meal replacement production, has peaked the interest of a number of major Corporations and was one of the factors which helped them to secure a contract with Miller Coors to construct a full-scale demonstration facility at their site.
Here again though, there is a monetary value to a company in terms of brand value to be able to show its shareholders that instead of generating a waste product which required disposal, they were able to 'up-cycle' the resources in their wastewater and in doing so, off-set the unsustainable harvesting of biomass from oceans to produce fish-meal for fish farms.
2. Resource Recovery is becoming a geo-political and security issue
Certain resources such as phosphorus are becoming a geo-political issue. China has recently put an export tax on phosphorus to discourage the export of this valuable commodity, to preseve it and keep it a home to enable food production. China is known for its ability to take a long term view on things and this is an early indicator of how important this resource may become. It is worth noting, that like oil, phosphorus resources are found in a number of unstable regions of the world.
3. Companies which succeed in this area need to know two markets
The flip side of producing a product while treating a waste, is that you need to simultaneously build an outlet and channels to market for your product, at the same time as you are developing the infrastructure to produce it. This is challenging when working with a variable feedstock (wastewater) and when the quantities you produce, initially, do not make a dent in the larger market for that commodity.
To succeed, companies need to understand the wastewater treatment market and also, understand the market for the commodity they are producing.
In the case of Calera, this means they have to know the concrete and aggregate business. In the case of Oberon, they have to know the fish-meal business. Ostara and CASTion both have to understand the dynamics of the fertilizer industry. When you hear Calera CEO, Brent Constanz speak about the nuances of the concrete and aggregate market, and then switch back to the importance of piloting on different wastewater streams, you get a feel for the level and depth of understanding required to succeed in straddling these divergent worlds.
At least a part of the sustainable business advantage these companies have, is their ability to understand and create a business model which meets customers needs on both sides of the fence. Companies that can do this are pulling away from the herd. When you combine this with technical know-how, continued innovation and a strong IP position, you have a sustainable first mover advantage which will be difficult for a 'me-too' to catch up with in the short term.
The next Webinar in our BlueTech Tracker(TM) Series is on Thursday July 29th at 12 noon PST and will put the spotlight on Microbial Fuel Cells and Bioelectrochemical systems. This group of technologies has the potential to generate electricity from wastewater and produce fuels and chemicals which can be sold. Companies such as Emefcy and Bilexys are bringing these technologies to market.
Eytan Levy, CEO of Emefcy, recently received funding from Pond Ventures to bring its MFC technology to market with a focus initially on high strength industrial wastewater streams. The Australian technology start-up Bilexys uses bioelectrochemical systems to produce commodity chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide.
Again the approach is the same, how to squeeze some value out of that wastewater.
