OTTAWA,
April 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Clearford
Industries Inc. ("Clearford" or the "Company"), (TSXV: CLI), today
announced that it has entered into an agreement with UV Pure
Technologies Inc., a Canadian company based in Toronto, Ontario to be its exclusive
distributor for UV Pure's water purification products in the
Colombia Market.
Clearford Industries is currently installing a
turnkey water and wastewater system for a green community near
Bogota, Colombia. The system will
harvest rain water to augment freshwater supplies and will use
Clearford Smart Digesters™ and structured wetlands to recycle all
wastewater. UV Pure's systems will provide disinfection of the
reuse water before it is sent from a storage tank to a separate
water reuse distribution network. Clearford also plans to offer UV
Pure systems for disinfection of potable water in communal and
point-of-use applications throughout Colombia.
Decentralized water and wastewater treatment
systems are playing a growing part in helping Colombia expand treatment capabilities,
protect public health and preserve source waters in the nation's
rural and suburban regions. Clearford Industries is delivering
turnkey solutions to developments in these regions and has now
added UV Pure Technologies' disinfection to its solutions offerings
to provide a higher standard of safety in potable water and reuse
applications.
"UV Pure products were very well received and
generated high interest when we presented them at the Cleantech
Seminar held in Bogota last
month", said Clearford CEO Kevin
Loiselle. The Cleantech summit was an Ontario
Government-led trade mission to Colombia with the support of the Canadian
Embassy.
"Developers building self-sufficient, communal
water systems are very interested in the performance and ease of
use that UV Pure Crossfire technology offers—there's nothing else
like it in Colombia," said
Jose Maria Gonzalez, Vice-president
of Business Development for Clearford. "The high UV dose,
self-cleaning capabilities and safety features of these systems are
very attractive to ensure treatment standards are consistently met
to protect public health and the environment."
Rick VanSant,
President and CEO of UV Pure Technologies said: "We are excited
about the opportunity in Colombia
to combine two differentiated, advantaged technologies that create
an end-to-end solution with significant benefit in a country
focused on transforming access to clean water, water reuse, and
treatment of wastewater. Together, Clearford Industries and UV Pure
provide great performance and cost advantages compared to
conventional water and wastewater treatment. We believe the
Clearford team's local market knowledge and relationships in
Colombia will accelerate
acceptance and distribution of our technology there."
