SEOUL,
KOREA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 18, 2006 -- First American Scientific Corp., through
its Licensee, "First American Scientific Korea," and in cooperation
with the Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea, is pleased to announce the
sale of its new model KDS Micronex S-6 to demonstrate its ability to reduce and
dewater municipal sewage sludge at a Municipal Waste Water Treatment site near
Seoul, South Korea. The equipment is expected to be in place and ready for
operation by August 2006.
During the
initial trial period, the process will be monitored and documented, and if
satisfactory, could result in its endorsement by the Ministry of Environment
and the establishment a permanent facility at the waste water treatment plant.
The KDS has already been proven to efficiently achieve 99.9 % pathogen kill
without the addition of chemicals or supplemental heat.
According to Brian Nichols,
President of FASC, "This will be our first installation using the KDS
Micronex in Asia to clean and de-water sewage sludge. There are numerous
wastewater treatment plants in South Korea (population 49 million ) that
process thousands of gallons of domestic sewage and other waste water each day.
If successful, we expect to see our system in use in many cities around the
world."
FASC already has one test
KDS system under study at a waste water treatment plant in the City of Prince
George, Canada and is well positioned to service its markets through a well
established network of licensees and affiliates around the world.
