(via Thenewswire.ca)
November 13, 2013 - VANCOUVER, Canada - NanoStruck Technologies Inc.(the "Company") (CNSX:NSK) (OTCQX: NSKTF) (Frankfurt: 8NSK) announces completion of a trial period with Food Specialties, a Canadian company specializing in the formulation and development of frozen dessert products and flavorings.
Food Specialties were notified by the Ontario Ministry of Food and Agriculture as well as the Municipality of Peel Region in the Greater Toronto area, for exceeding the provincial and municipal levels for acceptable wastewater discharge limits. Specific testing discovered elevated levels of BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids).
NanoStruck engineering and scientific teams investigated the issue and employed internal and external lab testing on the water samples provided by Food Specialties. Once the lab analysis results were confirmed, NanoStruck discovered that the water contained 10 times the authorized contaminants in their wastewater discharge.
NanoStruck designed and installed a water remediation plant that met the specific environmental and CAPEX requirements of Food Specialties. It has now successfully treated more than 200,000 liters of water.
Russell Morley, President of Food Specialties said: "Thank you NanoStruck. We are very pleased with the results of your work. We have graduated, guided by your knowledge, from a primitive wastewater treatment system to one that exceeds our expectations. You showed us how to use most of the equipment we had already installed with a small addition which you built just to meet our needs. The improvement has been wonderful. We know the municipality is still monitoring our effluent regularly, but we have received no more notifications from them."
Bundeep Singh Rangar, CEO and Chairman of the Board said: "We have met and exceeded our customer's needs and expectations, which is a real success for NanoStruck."
About the Company
NanoStruck Technologies Inc. is a water remediation company with a suite of patented technologies and proprietary nano-biotechnology that provides environmentally safe solutions for water purification, restoration and contamination issues. The Company uses the EPA guidelines as a benchmark for what constitutes safe agricultural or drinkable water, and tailors these guidelines to those standards that are acceptable in the jurisdiction in which the technology is used. Additionally, the Company's technology can be used to recover heavy and precious metals from mine tailings.
The first water treatment facility began operating on January 14, 2012 in Mexico. It has been successfully removing leachate from water in a landfill and producing clean water certified by Conagua, the federal water commission of Mexico.
In addition, the Company has a patent pending technology that recovers precious metals contained in tailings. At the end of the process, the water is remediated and can be reused.
The Company's current business model is based on entering into long term agreements (plant installation and operating agreements) with clients pursuant to which the Company funds the capital costs of building and installing its treatment plants. Pursuant to a plant installation and operating agreement, the client pays the Company a negotiated dollar value per cubic meter of treated water with a negotiated guaranteed minimum number of cubic meters to be treated per annum.
The Company also holds a 100% undivided interest in the Holy Cross Property, which consists of a single mineral exploration tenure covering 2,005 hectares within the Omineca Mining Division of north central British Columbia.
