EESTECH JetWater Desalination Licensee Sponsors Coal Seam Gas Forum

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 (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.
