SYDNEY, July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EESTech Inc. (Pink Sheets: EESH), has awarded the exclusive Australian rights for their JetWater thermal desalination system to Impulse Hydro. This follows Impulse Hydro recently securing their first contract using the JetWater System in the Queensland coal seam gas (CSG) industry and the extensive interest shown by producers at the recent 'Optimising CSG Production & Utilisation Forum' in Brisbane, which they sponsored. The first sale made by Impulse Hydro of the JetWater System, was on the basis of a one-off contract arrangement that allows for access as a project demonstration site that will be remotely monitored by EESTech and to provide a platform for the introduction and testing of future technology enhancements. The new exclusive arrangement has required a license fee to be paid. 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. Impulse will use a combination of reverse osmosis and the thermal desalination of the JetWater System to clean contaminated water, thereby reducing over 90% of evaporation ponds. EESTECH CEO Murray Bailey said that the first order for the system and the interest shown by other gas producers validates the methodology of using both reverse osmosis and the JetWater system as the most cost effective solution for the problem. "This has widespread immediate application in the growing coal seam gas industry in Australia, as well as in other mines which will be required to clean their waste water before it can be discharged. "The 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," said Bailey. Impulse Hydro CEO, Earle Roberts said, "Because of the efficiency of the combined systems the eventual market for the units in the coal seam gas industry could exceed $50 million over the next three years." Impulse Control (http://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.
