Share:
CALGARY - Wescorp Energy Inc. (Wescorp) (OTCBB: WSCE), a clean water technology company focused on implementing cost-effective solutions in several markets, including the oil and gas and marine industries, announced today that the second generation 10,000 barrel per day (bpd) H2Omaxx technology has successfully treated marine bilge water.
The H2Omaxx achieved the International Maritime Organization approved Resolution MEPC 107(49) regulated maximum residual hydrocarbon clean water discharge of 15 parts per million (ppm) with ease. This discharge standard is adopted and enforced nationally by agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard.
"We are very impressed with the performance of the H2Omaxx in treating bilge water, which is a complex mix of hydrocarbons and other contaminants. The results of these real-world operations will be utilized in support of Allied Holdings and Wescorp Marine's development of the H2Omaxx for international marine certification and shipboard use through the Wescorp Marine joint venture," stated Tim Gale, President and CEO of Allied Holdings and President of Wescorp Marine. "This further supports our assessment that the H2Omaxx technology may be one of the best oil-water separation technologies available for shipboard use."
Bilge water was brought by barge from a ship to the H2Omaxx, where the water was treated and the hydrocarbons were separated and contained. Bilge water from ships contains a wide range of potential hydrocarbons and contaminants, including lube oil, fuel oil, machinery leakage, solvents, detergents, iron oxide particles, biological, equipment and engine-room wash water, firefighting foam, water treatment chemicals, grey water and sanitary system overflows, and seawater.
"Wescorp's objective is to demonstrate the capability of the H2Omaxx to meet the needs of an additional world-wide hydrocarbon based market, the marine industry," stated Robert G. Power, Executive Chairman of Wescorp's Board. "Now, we will move forward with Allied Holdings and Wescorp Marine to the next stage of development, technology adaptation and independent testing of H2Omaxx units for sea-going vessels."
Third party sampling of the bilge water before and after treatment, and reporting of the analytical results, was conducted by a national environmental consulting firm, hired by the bilge water service operator.
