EESTECH JetWater Desalination Licensee Sponsors Coal Seam Gas Forum

PR Newswire (US)
SYDNEY, Australia, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Impulse Hydro,
which is the licensee for the EESTech Inc. (Pink Sheets: EESH)
JetWater Thermal Desalination System, was a sponsor of the recent
'Optimising CSG Production & Utilisation Forum' held in
Brisbane. The forum, which attracted an audience of more than 70
representatives from the industry, was addressed by Derek Pallet*,
Impulse Hydro's technical manager, who described the water
pre-treatment and post-treatment concentrate handling through the
use of EESTech's JetWater thermal desalination system, which cleans
the contaminated water to near 100 per cent purity. The need to
clean contaminated water, which is released as part of the coal
seam gas extraction process, has come about because of a change in
policy by the Queensland State Government. The policy states that
gas producers are not allowed to continue to store contaminated
water in holding ponds or be discharged into waterways and that
existing evaporation ponds will have to be remediated within three
years. The Impulse system uses reverse osmosis and the thermal
desalination of the JetWater System to clean the contaminated
water, thereby reducing the need for evaporation ponds. The other
speaker at the forum was Dr Patrick Glynn*, a research scientist
working for the Exploration and Mining Division of the CSIRO who
described the crystallisation and elimination of evaporation ponds.
EESTECH signed the licence agreement with Impulse Hydro in March
2009 giving them access to manufacture and sell their JetWater
System Technology for water purification projects within Australia.
Impulse Hydro (http://www.impulsehydro.com/) is a progressive
Australian-based company with 30 years experience in water
treatment. EESTech (which stands for Economically and
Environmentally Sustainable Technologies) owns or holds the rights
to three environmentally sustainable technologies, including the
JetWater technology, that have direct applications to the coal
mining and energy industries. EESTech's JetWater thermal
desalination system has been rated in an international
environmental and engineering consultant's report as being one of
the world's leading water purification systems. The report rated
the JetWater technology as one of the best overall in the market
based on both technical and cost criteria. Thermal desalination of
water is based on evaporation, which replicates nature's own
purification process, by heating water and condensing the steam.
Although the JetWater technology is based on well-known and widely
understood chemical and thermo-dynamic principles, EESTech's
development team has refined the processes to greatly increase
effectiveness and efficiency. EESTech's CEO, Mr Murray Bailey, said
that a major benefit of the technology is that it can purify up to
97 per cent of the feed-water, compared to less than 75 per cent by
most membrane systems. For further information on EESTech Inc or
