LiqTech International, Inc. Announces Its New LED-based Deep UV Water Disinfection System


BALLERUP, Denmark – LiqTech International, Inc. (NYSE MKT: LIQT) ("LiqTech") is pleased to announce that its recently acquired subsidiary, Provital Solutions A/S, has developed a new LED-based Deep UV water disinfection system. We believe our system is the first large scale LED-based UV water disinfection system in the market. The UV system features long lifetime, instant on-off, application targeted wavelengths and low power consumption. The UV system will be available from Q1 2015 in sizes from 2" to 6". Larger diameters will be available from Q2 2015.



Mr. Sune Mathiesen, LiqTech CEO, remarked, "We are very proud to announce that we have developed this cutting edge technology UV disinfection system - the fruit of many hours of engineering effort. This system is what we are all about - our application of LED technology saves power, offers a longer lifetime and most importantly, it is more efficient than traditional mercury lamps. The environmental benefits of consuming less energy and safer disposal of the lamps are also very important to our customers."



"One of the key benefits of LED UV technology compared to mercury lamps is that the LED lamps can be switched on and off as frequently as necessary without degradation in lifetime. The output of the lamps can also be modulated, potentially saving operating costs during the night and other periods requiring less disinfection."



"During our product development, we worked closely with key global water treatment companies. The feedback from these companies has been very valuable and has enabled us to create a product that meets market demands. We are pleased to announce that the first customer shipment will be in January 2015.



"Our new UV disinfection systems are an ideal supplement to our ceramic filters. Many applications that require filtration also require disinfection as a double barrier. Initially, we will be targeting applications within the swimming pool, drinking water and water reclamation market segments. We are currently working on developing additional UV products for other applications, including point-of-use systems for laboratories, hospitals and residential use."



"The UV disinfection market is fast growing and is expected to reach $1.6 billion in 2016. We intend on establishing ourselves in this market within our targeted application areas," Mr. Mathiesen concluded.
