Ecosphere Increases Global Penetration with Singapore Sale

STUART, Fla., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ESPH - News), a provider of clean air and water technology solutions, announced the sale of two additional units of the Ecosphere Remote Operating Vehicle (E-ROV) coating removal robots under its exclusive distribution agreement with Jian Huang Engineering Pte, Ltd. of Singapore. Under the terms of the previously announced five-year distribution agreement, Jian Huang will buy or sell ten robotic systems for an estimated total price of at least $4.5 million over a two year period to maintain its exclusive distributorship for Singapore. These systems, scheduled for shipment in May, follow the initial purchase of two systems in 2006.

Stephen R. Johnson, President of UltraStrip Envirobotic Solutions, a subsidiary of Ecosphere said, "We have found a valuable partnership in working with Jian Huang to equip the Singapore ship market with Ecosphere's coatings removal technology. With its recent purchase of two additional robots, Jian Huang is moving forward with its commitment to equip Singapore, one of the largest ship repair markets in the world, with the capacity to offer an environmentally safe alternative to the current toxic grit blasting coating removal process. The additional sale of our systems further serves as a proof of concept that the ship repair industry is beginning to embrace our robots, which not only hasten the speed of paint removal and allow additional work to be completed on the vessel during the process, but also prevent millions of tons of hazardous waste from going to the world's landfills and polluting the oceans."

Jack Ng, a Director of Jian Huang Engineering, said, "The E-ROV is the best paint removal equipment available in the world today and we are excited to be able to increase our capacity in the Singapore ship repair industry. Enabling improvements for air, water, and the health of our workers, the Ecosphere system is safe, highly productive, and an environmentally friendly technology that is ideally suited for our market."

The E-ROV leverages advanced robotics and patented water-jetting processes to create a closed system that safely removes toxic coatings from the world's major transporters -- cargo ships, airplanes and automobiles. Offering an efficient, safe alternative to chemical, plastic media, grit blasting and other malignant methods prevalent in the coating removal markets, the Ecosphere technology ensures the containment of toxic materials during routine removal and maintenance.
