I firmly believe that next week
is "make or break time" for ECCI. Whatever happens should be VERY significant, one way or the other.

There are 5 pilot projects
with Devon. And they have about 25% of the Barnett Shale wells.
ESPH is behind the power curve,
it does not even have any units built for the pilot project.
Here is the 05/15/08 SEC 10Q filed by ESPH:
Does this sound below like a company that is ready to go and any real competition for ECCI which has two completed units ready for action in the USA if a hurricane strike per the old ECCI PR*? It does not look like ESPH is ready. And it is not any better than the distillation process being used by DEVON over the last year or two. ECCI is the answer for both high volume production of recycled water and much lower cost per gallon than distilling.

"...Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company executed a letter of intent for a 90 day Pilot Program with an oil and gas drilling company in the Barnett Shale area of Texas. Under the letter of intent, the Company is to provide a water filtration unit, which includes the Ecosphere Ozonix™ process to recycle frac flowback water at a water recycling center in Texas operated by the oil and gas drilling company. The Pilot Program is to start on July 1, 2008. During the 90 day test period, the Company will be paid a prescribed fee for each barrel of frac flowback water processed.
The Company is focusing on raising the necessary capital to produce the unit for the Pilot Program. Currently, the Company has two financing solutions available. The first solution is with Bledsoe Capital Group as described in the paragraphs below...."

Why ECCI bought the patent in 2003:
http://www.wwdmag.com/Electrocoagulation-Technology-Keeps-Site-In-Operation-Meets-Regulatory-Requirements-article1562
"...Ecoloquip had processed and discharged over 300,000 gallons of wastewater at a cost to the client of $0.05 per gallon plus electricity. Alternatives for wastewater disposal were priced from $0.08 to $0.18 per gallon...." It has only improved in production volume an d price efficiency since then. Just ask DVN.

Here's how ECCI got that patent:

queen- Your thoughts are mine too,
I'm just waiting for some follow up by the company. I have not spoken with Mr. Lloyd Lane since 2007. So you know about as much as I do.
My speculation is today's filing is belated documentation of the shift of legal corporate management from Carroll (Ichargeit) to Lane back on November1, 2007 as well as disclosure of owners of more than 5% of the new company shares. I recall some old filing that mentioned future contingencies needed before the transfer of ownership of assets and management of the corporation. But all those old filings only brought the company financial data current as of 06/30/07. I have been waiting for the 2007 3rd and 4th quarter filings as well as the 1st quarter financial filings for 2008. Oh, then after that there is the matter of the OTCBB application as promised.
I am willing to wait only so long for those filings before I get upset- as I mentioned a week or two ago. It has taken long enough already, but you may have not noticed the wait since you are not a shareholder. I still view the delay as the time it takes to build an O&G company. That takes longer than most "get rich quick" shareholders can endure, especially with the critics beating their drums day and night. It is like those hot humid summer nights here in Houston. You can only take so much.
Hopefully, FSNR will flip on the air conditioning soon! And the awesome critical drumming will stop.
Richie- DEVON admits it only has
25% of the wells on the Barnett. As to the rest, it sounds reasonable, except I think the ECCI technology is already proven by the "testing" mentioned in the 05/05/08 PR. The Stationary Unit would be the identical technology set up only bigger and not on wheels. I would not build a new unit that is stationary without a long term written deal- even it is only called a "Pilot Project" contract for a "period certain". It would have to be longer than 90 days to justify the construction expense. Of course, that is just my business sense.
Good luck to all.
Waves of Crude Oil & Natural Gas:
mustang- There is this from 05/07/08 PR:
"...Work and negotiations continue with companies on the Barnett Shale, outside of Fort Worth, Texas. According to Mr. Adams, ``Our results have been positive in a relatively short period of time. In little more than two months we are testing the E-C WaterPure System(tm) with key industry and community stakeholders..." (Emphasis added) They must be "testing" the ECCI technology with a "Mobile Unit. And the later PR implies the testing was a success.
The most recent press release implied ECCI had gone beyond testing work and was proceeding with construction on the Barnett Shale of a stationary unit. Do you do that without a contract?
05/15/08 PR:
"...The Stationary E-C WaterPure(tm) System Program calls for our partners -- customers to build the required housing and infrastructure to support a much larger unit. The equipment will be leased and serviced by ECCI and the plan requires multi-year leases,' said John Adams, COO."
No, I think the market is underestimating the reality of what is happening. And ECCI is not pumping its stock with the news cycle.

"...Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company executed a letter of intent for a 90 day Pilot Program with an oil and gas drilling company in the Barnett Shale area of Texas. Under the letter of intent, the Company is to provide a water filtration unit, which includes the Ecosphere Ozonix™ process to recycle frac flowback water at a water recycling center in Texas operated by the oil and gas drilling company. The Pilot Program is to start on July 1, 2008. During the 90 day test period, the Company will be paid a prescribed fee for each barrel of frac flowback water processed.
The Company is focusing on raising the necessary capital to produce the unit for the Pilot Program. Currently, the Company has two financing solutions available. The first solution is with Bledsoe Capital Group as described in the paragraphs below.
On April 24, 2008, the Company executed a non-binding letter of intent with Bledsoe Capital Group which outlines two agreements, one agreement which is a sale of the Company's non- Ecosphere Ozonix™ water filtration technology, plus the Ecos Lifelink and Power Cube technologies and related assets, and another agreement which will provide funding for building and deploying the initial water filtration units, which will employ the Ecosphere Ozonix™ process for use in the Barnett Shale area of Texas. The sale price for the sale of the intellectual property and the assets is $5 million, of which the Company will receive approximately $4.6 million after repaying its manufacturing partner and bearing the cost of building a prototype of the Ecos Lifelink system. In addition, the Company will provide the manufacturing of future units using these technologies and will receive a 10% royalty on sales of the units.
ECOSPHERE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Under the financing agreement, Bledsoe Capital Group will provide an initial $1 million of funding in the form of a short term convertible note bearing interest of 10%, and convertible in common stock at the rate of $0.15 per share. This funding will enable the Company to build the initial water filtration unit, which will utilize the Ecosphere Ozonix™ process, to be used in the 90 day Pilot Program with a large oil and gas drilling company in the Barnett Shale area of Texas to process frac flowback water at a water recycling center operated by the oil and gas drilling company. Upon the signing of a definitive agreement with the oil and gas drilling company, the letter of intent prescribes that Bledsoe Capital Group will lend up to an additional $4 million to build additional water filtration units for deployment at the Texas water recycling center. The Bledsoe Capital Group letter of intent expires on May 15, 2008...."

dben- No, and that company
does not even have any units built for the pilot project. Look at their most recent SEC filing. They had financing that expired 05/22/08 and this was announced a week later. They are looking for a way to built their units that are based on air injection and bubbles. Electro-coagulation is is decades old technology that is tried and true. Their new method is suspect and their 90 days had better not start now or they will miss the window. Finally, it has only about 65% of the production capacity of ECCI. It is about the same as the distillation process in production (insufficient to meet water feed needs) and it is unlikely to remove salts the way ECCI does.
And ECCI is beyond the pilot project stage- IMHO.

That is the post of the day.
FSNR UP 40%?
DOES THE SLEEPING GIANT AWAKEN? OR DOES IT SLUMBER A BIT MORE?
1flaguy- This stock could "Rock" indeed,
because my sense is that any stationary unit contract news will be more than just another "Pilot Project". It sounds like ECCI has been doing its pilot project for months and unannounced. Mr. Ward needs to take control of the share structure, the investor relations and the news cycle.....or let the new COO do those things for him. If he wants to raise money by selling shares here and there, he needs to wait until we are trading at over .01 or .02 pps. The technology works best of all the competition and the need is great and well funded. Sterling showed us how much potential there is for shareholders: $1.50 pps. Just do it! We need to adopt Nike's motto.
We are kissing .0017 again as I write. Without news, we need to close above .0018 as dolphintom said.
It will shoot past .01 on news...then .02 on increments of the news cycle. NYPD BLUE will be gone by then. We could end up bagholders, but not if the ECCI news is transparent enough and the NG dollars are shared with ECCI. NO ONE YET REALIZES THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF THIS COMPANY AND SO WE CHURN AROUND LIKE TODAY UNTIL IT IS REALIZED.

.0017 HOD so far/eom
Waves of Crude Oil & Natural Gas:
AND NOTE PAGES 21 & 22 OF THE SHOW:
Those pages OPEN THE DOOR to ECCI with DEVON complaining that the current pilot projects of distillation and especially reverse osmosis are "limited and not efficient". Even the distillation process can only meet about 75% of the water feed need (page 22). And we already know that ECCI's technology is about 50% cheaper!
I WOULD SAY THAT THEY WERE INVITING ECCI'S TECHNOLOGY IN THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BY DEVON THIS SPRING of 2008. WE ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. HOLD ON FOR THE RIDE IN PRICE PER SHARE. The last ECCI pres release really makes sense now.

1flaguy-Just post some pics of Jessica Simpson,
and let us walk the line. Mr. Ward's photographs of the purification units can wait. I asked that they be put up on the ECCI website. "They" meaning ECCI's units.
Waves of Crude Oil & Natural Gas:
Yes, there are a few good things in store,
this stock has a growing future with its many uses for those nano-fellers. They go to the heart of what's the matter without "beating around the Bush". Sorry, George, errr.... Mr. President.

ECCI's competition on Barnett Shale:
AquaPure charges eight cents per gallon to "distill" frac water for Devon Energy per the linked newspaper article at the bottom of this post. ($3.35 per 42 gallon barrel). And AquaPure's NOMAD distilling unit only produces 84,000 gal. of recycled water per day. (2,000 barrels) http://www.aqua-pure.com/wastewater/case_nomad2000.html
One ECCI "improved mobile unit" can produce 720,000 gal. of clean recycled frac water per day at a cost of .02 to .04 cents per gallon! http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/080515/142803.html
If you were Devon Energy, who would you contract with to save money and to fill your recycled water needs: 1.5 million gallons of water for fracturing a vertical well and 3.5 million gallons of water to frac a horizontal?
Here is the current story on the Barnett Shale, Devon Energy and the competion- AquaPure:
http://www.fwbusinesspress.com/display.php?id=7232
"...What it all costs
Fountain Quail and 212 Resources declined to disclose the machines’ daily operating costs, but according to Devon’s Jay Ewing, completion/construction supervisor, the Fountain Quail system costs about $3.35 per barrel, about 68 percent more than the $2 cost if post-fracing water is simply disposed of.
Waits said he could not provide a cost per barrel, and declined to name the Wyoming operator set to use the POD machine.
However the costs end up, persuading the industry to take a chance on these firms’ products is going to be a balancing act between environmental stewardship and bottom-line economics, said Robert Grable, a partner at Fort Worth-based Kelly Hart & Hallman..."

Repost: ECCI Mobile Unit Valuation …
By stervc: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=29701660
"The earlier valuation I posted was derived from considering the rates of water treated to be 100 gallons per minute for the mobile unit and 1,000 gallons per minute for the stationary unit at a price of .02 per gallon:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=28970733
From their 15 May 08 PR, ECCI stated that their mobile units will generate 500 gallons per minute per mobile unit and 5,000 gallons per minute per stationary unit:
http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/080515/142803.html
With the thoughts below, I will primarily focus on the ”ECCI potential” derived from their mobile units.
The earlier ECCI valuation consideration was derived in effort to try to determine a fair valuation for ECCI from some of the variables mentioned in the posts below courtesy of Tkcomputer9999 and the PR above considering if any of the contracts expected are awarded:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=29287902
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=28927851
Before we can list the variables to consider, we must first derive the ECCI per minute amount of Income to be generated from each unit through logical deduction. I say Income because from my understanding and research, the money generated from the units will be pure profit. The Expenses have already been taken into account as evident from the units being purchased. Since ECCI have not been previously generating any Revenues, taxes and other Expenses will not be considered for keeping these derivations simple. Please further consider the thoughts below, but I highly recommend reading all of the attached links above to fully understand the following thoughts:
************************************************************************
Mobile Unit Rate of Water Treated
500 = gallons per minute for mobile units
.02 = cost per gallon
500 x .02 = $10.00 per gallon per minute
$10.00 x 60 minutes = $600.00 per hour
$600 x 24 hours = $14,400 per day
In summary, each ECCI mobile unit will provide water treatment at a rate of 500 gallons per minute at the cost of .02 per gallon which equates to Income of $10.00 per gallon per minute which equates to $600.00 per hour which equates to ECCI generating Income of $14,400 per day.
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
ECCI Presumed Variables to Consider:
** 1 mobile unit running per day
** ECCI $14,400 Net Income per day per mobile unit as derived above
** Worse case scenario Outstanding Shares (OS) amount of 350,000,000 shares
Revenues – Expenses (Net) = Net Income.
Net Income ÷ Outstanding Shares (OS) = Earnings Per Share (EPS)
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
$14,400 = 1 mobile unit x $14,400 Net Income per day per 1 mobile unit
$14,400 x 30 days = Net Income per month per 1 mobile unit
$430,000 = Net Income per month per 1 mobile unit
$430,000 x 12 months = Net Income per year per 1 mobile unit
$5,184,000 = Net Income per year per 1 mobile unit
It is expected that they will have 5 mobile units per operation as a minimum. So, that would multiply the total amount above by 5 to equate below:
$5,184,000 x 5 = Net Income per year per 5 mobile units
$25,920,000 = Net Income per year per 5 mobile units
From my understanding, the money generated from the units will be considered pure profit since Expenses would have already had been captured as evident from the existence of the units and from the thoughts I explained earlier above. Now let’s derive an Earnings Per Share (EPS).
Net Income ÷ OS = EPS
$25,920,000 ÷ 350,000,000 (OS) = EPS
.074 = EPS
Since we are not quite sure just yet what Sector or Industry ECCI would trade under, it is a little difficult to determine a finite PE Ratio to use as its growth multiple to multiply with the EPS to determine its fair trading price. Because of this, it is generally accepted to use 12 as a conservative PE Ratio. The share price below would give us the ECCI trading price of where ECCI could ”potentially” be trading if given a contract as what many of us are expecting to be announced any day now:
12 Conservative PE Ratio x .074 EPS = .89 per share
This means that given if the above variables that were mentioned as a consideration comes to fruition to be true as expected, ECCI would logically, fundamentally, and conservatively be worth somewhere in the area of .89 per share.
This also means that the .89 per share represents per increments of 5 units. So…
.89 x 2 units of 5 (10 total units) = $1.78 per share
.89 x 3 units of 5 (15 total units) = $2.67 per share
Let’s add that it’s no secret that Devon Energy is the largest and primary company that is highly interested in using the ECCI technology which is why all of them are there at the Barnett Shale. Devon Energy trades on the NYSE at $116.00+ per share under the ticker of DVN. Is doesn’t get much better than that for establishing a customer/partner for utilizing your patented technology. I have also confirmed that there are a few other NYSE stocks/companies that are interested in utilizing the ECCI technology.
I also have sound reason to know that the price of .02 per gallon that I used with my thoughts above is not even half the price that the major market companies are willing to pay for contracting with ECCI for them utilizing their patented technology. However, I used the .02 per gallon price to also remain conservative. Here’s another reason why DVN logically wants to use ECCI versus what they are doing now courtesy of Waverider110 which further adds to the .02 per gallon being conservative:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=29690208
Please understand that the above thoughts are not the gospel. These thoughts should only be used to gage what could be considered as ”potential” ECCI valuation if they consummate a contract with a major company as from what they had PR-ed as part of their plans. Again, this is considering that the variables that were used to derive the calculations for these figures are first officially released then we can use the thoughts above to use as a gage to measure the ”actual” ECCI valuation. So far, a good piece have been ”officially” released which allowed me to be able to calculate the above ”potential” ECCI valuation.
Now here’s the trick with determining the valuation for the use of the ”stationary” units. If the mobile units generate 500 gallons per minute and the stationary units generate 5,000 gallons per minute per gallon, then simply take those share price amounts above I derived and multiply them by 10 to get the ”potential” ECCI valuation if 5 stationary units were used instead of 5 mobile units which is what we think will be primarily used. I hope people see the magnitude and the ”potential” that resides here with ECCI. I think it’s worth taking the risk, especially at these levels."

Good Night again/eom
Howdy, friend, the charts look good,
and the signals are subtle. Tom could comment more. He is the resident expert. I like ADX and SloSto. Otherwise, I just depend on fundamentals and a good business plan.
I hope Mr. Ward does not read this board. It might make him fighting mad to see the personal references. I've never met him, so I have no comment except to thank him for this opportunity.
Let's get some sleep.
It's 10:00 p.m. and we need to be ready for another week of chills and thrills.
Things are looking up!
I am hearing good things about the near term for this stock...complicated but good.
Devon uses a distillation process on the Barnett Shale
(Aqua-Pure Ventures Inc.) to recycle its frac water. I find their NOMAD unit to be more expensive (at least .065 per gal.) and lower volume (2,000 bbl. per day) than ECCI which can use a stationary platform at third of the cost and 63 times more production per day:

Drillers need about 1.5 million gals. of water to fracture a vertical gas well and about 3.5 million gals. of water for a horizontal well. 80% of the water returns to the surface with salts and heavy metals that need to be removed before the water can be recycled to some other productive use. Transporting untreated waste water to an injection well where it is "lost" costs about $2.00 per barrel, all inclusive cost. ECCI sure does make sense and cents for these wealthy energy companies and the TRRC!

June is finally here:
The month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and equivalent to the Greek goddess Hera.
The month of June—in the Northern Hemisphere—is in Spring until the 21st, when Summer begins.
June is known for the large number of marriages that occur over the course of the month. Juno was the goddess of marriage and a married couple's household, so some consider it good luck to be married in this month.
Good luck, Freestone Resources!
