Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PRRY) is pleased to
report that the Company has received the preliminary findings of
Field Studies on the effectiveness of AquaLuxus™ WC for groundwater
wells. Planet's distributor, Timberline Assets, Ltd., launched an
investigation in August 2011, including independent lab and field
testing, to determine the effectiveness of using AquaLuxus WC for
groundwater well rehabilitation, as an Environmentally-Friendly
alternative to the commonly accepted utilization of acids to
rehabilitate groundwater wells. The combination of AquaLuxus WC and
Timberline's newly developed treatment protocols have proven highly
effective in the rehabilitation of groundwater wells. For the

The U.S. groundwater well market is immense and ever-expanding
as it is extremely vital to the economy and health of the nation.
According to The National Ground Water Association, "Of the total
341 billion gallons of freshwater the United States withdraws each
day, groundwater is estimated to be 79.6 billion gallons, or 23
percent. There are 15.9 million water wells in the U.S., supplying
groundwater for public supply, private supply, irrigation,
livestock, manufacturing, mining, thermoelectric power and other
uses." Additionally, "Approximately 800,000 boreholes are drilled
in the U.S. annually. The construction of these vitally needed
water supply systems involves the use of more than 18,000 drilling
rigs by an estimated 8,100 groundwater contracting firms."
The primary cause of underperforming/low flow water well
production and inefficiencies is incrustation caused by biofouling.
Biofouling is the impairment or degradation of underwater surfaces
or equipment as a result of the growth of living organisms.
Organisms such as bacteria, protozoans, algae, and crustaceans can
accumulate in large numbers on surfaces such as pipes, screens, and
tanks, resulting in corrosion, clogging, contamination, or a
decrease in the efficiency of moving parts. Clogging due to
biofouling is a costly expense as most water wells typically must
be rehabilitated every one to three years.
Today's accepted standard treatment protocol is to rehabilitate
water wells with acids and mechanical procedures. Acid treatments
are a temporary solution to incrustation, but are corrosive to
equipment. More importantly, the chemical reaction between the acid
treatment and metal surfaces creates an abundant food source for
incrusting bacteria, allowing the biofouling cycle to commence
again.
Since the launch of the investigation multiple benefits have
been demonstrated when rehabilitating water wells with AquaLuxus WC
and Timberline's treatment protocols:
- Significant reduction of Iron Bacteria, Manganese Bacteria and
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria which are the primary causes of
biofouling. One AquaLuxus treated water well continued to
demonstrate reduced bacteria eight months after the initial
treatment.
- Increased Water Production was evident in each well treated.
Increases in water production ranged from 150% up to 400%.
- Water Quality dramatically improved reflecting lower bacteria
count and dramatically reduced turbidity.
- Odor Reduction was extremely effective after treatment of three
domestic wells.
- Irrigation System efficiency: After AquaLuxus WC treatment,
water production increased from 200 gpm (Gallons per minute) to 450
gpm. In addition, the reduction in bacteria/slime residue stopped
the plugging of nozzles of the center pivot irrigation system. This
increase in water production provides enough water to increase the
per acre hay yield from 3 tons to 7 tons.
Mr. Ray Newmyer, veteran well driller and contractor, stated,
"For 40 plus years I have been battling incrusting bacteria and the
residue left by them. The slime and the iron staining returning
after [acid] treatment is very frustrating in customer relations.
The applications of AquaLuxus WC to the bio fouled wells have been
very encouraging. The esthetic and chemical results have shown
great promise for a solution to these problems. In every well
treated with AquaLuxus WC there were positive results. The bacteria
count decreased and the physical properties of the water improved.
As the treated wells and future wells are monitored I expect more
exciting results."
