March 4, 2013. Guelph, Ontario.- Dr. Gene Shelp, President and CEO
is pleased to announce that a contract for a water treatment
demonstration unit to assess technology for recycling and reusing
greenhouse wastewater has been awarded to ENPAR Technologies Inc.
(TSX:ENP) ("ENPAR" or "the Company"). The unit will be installed in
a facility owned and operated by a member of The Ontario Greenhouse
Alliance (TOGA). Vegetable greenhouses use a soilless hydroponic
growing system that involves the supply of nutrients to the growing
plants through their water. While advances have been made in the
ability of greenhouses to recirculate the water after it is
supplied to the plants, there is opportunity to increase the
efficiency of recirculating systems by removing 'limiters' from the
solution. 'Limiters' are chemical compounds that gradually
accumulate in the recirculating water that are not taken up and
used by the plants. TOGA is currently developing and demonstrating
the practicality and benefits of new, made-in-Ontario water
treatment technologies. The goal is to efficiently recycle nutrient
feed water, help the greenhouse industry conserve water by using
less fresh water per hectare, and recapture full value from all
nutrients. "ENPAR is extremely pleased to partner with TOGA to
introduce its state-of-the-art water treatment technology to the
Ontario agribusiness," stated Dr. Shelp. "We are confident this
technology will prove to be capable of meeting greenhouse
operators' water treatment needs and provide economic and
environmental benefits to both Ontario and Canada." The ENPAR
business development strategy is focused on leveraging recent
successes to introduce the Company's versatile water treatment
products to the municipal, food processing, mining, energy and
industrial sectors worldwide. Global market penetration will be
achieved through business relationships with established, highly
respected firms with access to an existing, broad client base and
distribution channels. TOGA is a strategic partnership between the
two organizations representing Ontario's greenhouse floriculture
growers and Ontario's greenhouse vegetable growers. There are about
500 greenhouse operations in Ontario that collectively make up the
memberships of the two organizations. Investment in this project
has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the
Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP). In Ontario, this
program is delivered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council.
Additional investments have been provided through the Ontario
Ministry of Environment's Showcasing Water Innovation Program and
the greenhouse sector. About ENPAR Technologies Inc. ENPAR is a
