MAJOR AMERICAN WATER COMPANY EVALUATES ENPAR'S DESEL SYSTEM FOR HOME MARKET
Enpar Technologies Inc. continues to attract the attention of some of the key players in the global water-treatment market. In May, 2006, Enpar entered into a mutual confidentiality agreement with a major American water company for the sole purpose of evaluating a possible business transaction relating to Enpar's DesEL technology as a replacement for conventional home water-treatment systems such as reverse osmosis units and water softeners.
Based on published information, the home market is currently reported to be $15-billion (U.S.) annually with the market predicted to reach approximately $45-billion by the year 2011.
Testing of Enpar's DesEL-400 unit has been under way during the past three weeks at the American company's facility. Enpar is extremely excited about this relationship as the American company recently reported that the initial performance of the system is impressive and the possibilities for the DesEL technology are exciting. Over the next five months, the American company will complete its technical evaluation of the technology, including scalability and long term viability, and develop a business case that will include that evaluation, as well as marketing and financial analysis of the pathway to market.
In summary, the American company informed Enpar that it has a positive feeling about Enpar's technology and the potential that a relationship could provide both companies. However, please note that there is no guarantee at this time that positive testing and a positive market and financial analysis will result in a business relationship.
The DesEL System is a proven alternative to conventional water-treatment systems for removing both dissolved contaminants such as arsenic, mercury and nitrate, and other dissolved ions from industrial waste water, process water and drinking water sources. As a home product the DesEL system would replace both the reverse osmosis unit and the water softener.
