Water Stocks; GE’s (NYSE: GE) Next Generation Cooling Water Technology Brings Cost and Water Savings to Industrial Users

Water Stocks; GE’s (NYSE: GE) Next Generation Cooling Water Technology Brings Cost and Water Savings to Industrial Users

•Upgraded GenGard Technology is Expanded to Work in Even Tougher Conditions

•New Product to Play Important Role in Responsible Water Management

TREVOSE, Pa.--(http://www.investorideas.com/ water stocks blog )--With rising energy costs and strains on capacity, industrial facilities are pressed to do more with less, striving to optimize efficiency while keeping costs to a minimum. Responding to these requirements, GE (NYSE: GE) today introduced its latest cooling water technology, GenGard 8000. GenGard 8000 offers the capability to use lower quality water in the cooling process, while avoiding corrosion and fouling problems. This provides savings in operating costs and improves the efficiency of the cooling system, which results in greater production output, water conservation and the ability to use alternative water sources.



“This next generation of GenGard chemistry is a robust treatment program that helps customers meet their specific requirements and allows them to do more with existing resources.”

.This new technology is an extension of the existing GenGard product line that covers the full spectrum of water conditions, ensuring reliable results even in the toughest operating conditions. The next generation of GenGard also will reduce the need for sulfuric acid in cooling water systems, minimizing the impact on the environment.

Industrial facilities consume large amounts of water to cool process equipment, resulting in a critical need for cooling water systems that can reuse the same water repeatedly in the process. Corrosion and microbiological fouling must be controlled to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operation of cooling systems.
The new GenGard chemistry expands GE’s water treatment product line into the full pH spectrum, from neutral to alkaline cooling water applications, ensuring reliable results. Incorporating the most advanced deposit and corrosion additives available, GenGard 8000 can, in many cases, eliminate the need for sulfuric acid for pH control. This reduction or elimination of acid usage at industrial facilities not only helps to reduce operational costs and increase environmental benefits, but it also makes GE’s innovative GenGard chemistry a technology that is available to customers ahead of industry regulations requiring acid reduction.

“With water consumption increasing on a global level, GE continues to invest in next generation technologies and innovative solutions to address global water challenges and help create a more sustainable environment,” said Nancy White, product line general manager—chemical and monitoring solutions, water and process technologies for GE Power & Water. “This next generation of GenGard chemistry is a robust treatment program that helps customers meet their specific requirements and allows them to do more with existing resources.”

GenGard 8000 will continue to have the characteristics of the original GenGard chemistry family. GenGard is halogen stable, allowing it to be used in conjunction with the most cost-effective biocide programs. In addition, the patented GenGard technology includes a stress tolerant polymer (STP). STP is a very forgiving chemistry that offers excellent control of mineral scale and corrosion.
The GenGard product family is designed to work in conjunction with GE’s most advanced automation, process control and knowledge management platform, TrueSense. The synergy between these two technologies enables optimal performance of cooling water systems with forgiving chemistry that performs even in the toughest conditions.

GenGard 8000 is commercially available immediately in North America with other markets around the world to follow shortly.

Water Stocks; BioteQ (TSX:BQE) Receives $3.6 Million Payment

Water Stocks; BioteQ  (TSX:BQE) Receives $3.6 Million Payment

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ water stocks blog)  - Sept. 30, 2010) - BioteQ Environmental Technologies Inc. (TSX:BQE), a leader in the treatment of industrial waste water, announced today that the company has received $3.6 million in cash from NWM Mining, as full re-payment of the loan that BioteQ extended to NWM Mining in 2008. The repayment includes all outstanding principal and interest on the loan.



Brad Marchant, BioteQ's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to receive early repayment of the loan. The management team and financial partners of NWM have made significant advancements in the last year and have created a more robust project to the benefit of all involved."



The loan was extended to NWM Mining as part of BioteQ's involvement in the development of the Lluvia de Oro - Jojoba gold mine project located in Sonora, Mexico. In addition to the loan financing, BioteQ designed, built and commissioned a SART plant in 2008 to demonstrate the technology for application at the Lluvia-Jojoba project, and subsequently sold the plant to NWM under a sales-lease arrangement in June 2009, as previously announced. Monthly lease payments of $150,000 for the SART plant are to commence October 1, 2010.



The SART plant is designed to treat up to 340 cubic meters per hour of copper-contaminated cyanide solution. The plant operated successfully in 2008, meeting all specifications for emissions and safety while regenerating cyanide solution for re-use in the gold operation, reducing copper in the gold leach solution from 300 mg/L to below 50 mg/L in the discharge from the plant, and recovering dissolved copper as a high-grade copper sulphide concentrate. Over 40,000 pounds of concentrate was recovered containing 63 percent copper, which was sold to Trafigura. By removing the interference of the copper from the gold heap leach process, BioteQ's SART plant can improve gold yields, significantly reduce operating costs, and enhance the environmental performance of the gold mining operation.



BioteQ Corporate Profile



BioteQ applies innovative technologies and operating expertise to solve challenging water treatment problems, reducing environmental liabilities while delivering lower life cycle costs for water treatment. The Company's commercially proven technologies treat industrial wastewater contaminated with dissolved heavy metals and sulphate, producing saleable by-products and clean water that can be discharged safely to the environment. BioteQ has built 10 plants at sites in Canada, the US, China, Australia and Mexico, with additional projects in design and construction.



BioteQ's sustainable water treatment solutions have been recognized with the CIM/Syncrude Award for Excellence in Sustainable Development, the Canada Export Achievement Award, the Jantzi/Maclean's Most Socially Responsible Corporations in Canada, the Globe Award for Environmental Excellence, the PDAC Award for Environmental and Social Responsibility, the China Mining Environmental Protection Award, and the Mines & Money Sustainable Development Award. BioteQ is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, and trades on the TSX under the symbol BQE. For additional information, please go to www.bioteq.ca.
