Worrell Water Technologies Proves Wastewater Treatment Can Be Handled Naturally, Efficiently and Locally

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Worrell Water Technologies today announced enhancements to its Next
Generation Living Machine(R) system, a proprietary ecological wastewater
treatment system. Unlike today's approach to wastewater treatment, the
Living Machine(R) operates as a decentralized, on-site system for water
treatment and recycling, creating quality fresh water without chemicals,
odor or nasty by-products.

The Living Machine(R) is a 'turbo-charged' engineered wetland system which
combines the compact footprint of traditional wastewater treatment
technologies with the energy efficiency of conventional constructed
wetlands. In operation in more than two dozen locations worldwide, the
Living Machine(R) system is a patented and trademarked technology offered
only by Worrell Water Technologies.

"Let's face it, water is our next big crisis," pointed out Tom Worrell,
Chairman of Worrell Water Technologies, referring to statistics that show
more than 1 billion people worldwide have no access to safe drinking water
and 40 percent of people globally deal with water scarcity at some level.
"We have to be realistic that centralized water and wastewater treatment
systems can simply not handle water demand in the midst of our dwindling
water supply. The Living Machine(R) is the wastewater treatment and
recycling technology for the 21st century."

As result of water scarcity, the cost of water is increasing, and many
U.S. states are struggling with how to keep up with water demand. In many
areas of the country, large amounts of energy and dollars are spent to
transport clean water many miles to any location, only to pump it out and
send water again many miles away for sewage treatment.

As an alternative, the Living Machine(R) system allows for on-site, local
water recycling, reducing demand for treated water and producing fresh
water for landscape irrigation, toilet flushing, industrial processes,
washing equipment or animal areas, landscape water features (i.e. fish
ponds) and other uses.

"Recycling water is high on everyone's list as water costs rise and
availability sinks. The Living Machine(R) allows communities and
institutions to locally manage wastewater and significantly reduce water
use in an ecologically sound way that is both energy-efficient and
aesthetically beautiful," said William Kirksey, Senior Vice President,
Worrell Water Technologies.

The Living Machine(R) customers save on water costs and reduce water
usage:

-- One Living Machine(R) technology customer, the Guilford County School
District in Greensboro, NC, uses a Living Machine(R) system to treat up to
30,600 gallons of wastewater per day from its middle and high school
buildings, producing enough clean water to irrigate three athletic fields.
The Living Machine(R) system allowed them to avoid $4 million in capital
costs to hook up to the city sewer lines.

-- At the Esalen Institute, in Big Sur, California, the facility uses the
Living Machine(R) system to treat and recycle wastewater from laundry and
lodging for drip irrigation, protecting groundwater resources and
conserving water supplies.

-- The Las Vegas Animal Shelter in Las Vegas, Nevada, uses the Living
Machine(R) system as part of its water reclamation strategy to capture,
treat, and recycle up to 20,000 gallons per day of water used for washing
kennels.

The Living Machine(R) system offers the following benefits over other
treatments systems:

-- Excellent effluent water quality
-- Water reuse for a variety of applications
-- Small footprint and readily scalable for increased flow rates
-- Low energy consumption and low methane (GHG) emissions
-- Low operating costs
-- No odor
-- Eligible for LEED credits
-- Aesthetic quality, integrating the beauty and complexity of nature
into the structure of buildings or site landscaping - providing residents
and visitors with an educational experience and direct tangible connection
to natural systems.
