CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y.,
Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:
BHTG), a sustainable technology and services company, announced
today its first lease contract for the Altapure AP-4™ high-level
disinfectant technology to a K-12 public school district located in
Pennsylvania (the "School
District").
The School District will be utilizing the Altapure AP-4 as a
part of its protocol to help protect the schools within the
district from the spread of COVID-19 and potential infections from
other viruses and bacteria. BioHiTech conducted two product
demonstrations with representatives from the School District during
the summer to show how the Altapure AP-4 achieves hospital-grade
disinfection of classrooms, bathrooms and other common areas,
including everything within the area such as toys, chromebooks,
computers, rugs, carpeting, and sports equipment. BioHiTech
expects to deliver the unit in the coming days and to conduct and
broadcast a live demonstration with the School District at a
ceremony to take place in the coming weeks.
"The implementation of the Altapure AP-4 with this School
District is an important milestone for BioHiTech as we have
achieved our first commercial success with this exciting new
opportunity for our company," said Frank E.
Celli, CEO of BioHiTech. "Education represents a very
important market opportunity for us and we are confident other
school districts around the nation will follow this district's
leadership in creating a safer environment for learning. We
all want our schools to reopen, but we want to make sure we are
doing everything to keep our children and teachers as safe as
possible when they are physically back in school. This system
can be used as part of an ongoing cleaning protocol to periodically
disinfect classrooms and equipment. It can also ensure that
if a child or teacher tests positive for COVID-19, or some other
virus, utilizing an automated process, school employees can quickly
achieve a high-level disinfection of any potentially affected rooms
to cut down on the chance of spread. We look forward to working
with this customer in their important efforts to get students
safely back to school and for other educational institutions to
follow suit through our continued product demonstration and
distribution efforts."
The Altapure AP-4™ is an enhanced, automated and touchless
high-level disinfection sub-micron aerosol system launched in 2017,
that provides a safe process and rapid kill of spores, viruses, and
vegetative bacteria, such as but not limited to: COVID-19,
Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE, MRSA, Bacillus
atrophaeus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Polio virus, , C. auris
and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). Extensive research
and development alongside Harris Corporation, formerly ITT
Exelis, a top-tier global aerospace, defense, and information
solutions company, resulted in the creation of a very unique and
patented aerosol generation technology that when coupled with the
liquid agent Altacare®, a reagent grade peracetic
acid solution, yields rapid and unparalleled results for high level
disinfection. Altapure is committed to providing its customers with
the highest quality products and processes in the marketplace that
are safe to use and are environmentally friendly. All of Altapure's
products are engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the
U.S.
