Robert Cathey, CEO of Ecosphere Energy Services, stated, "We look forward to implementing Ecosphere's latest Ozonix® EF80 unit into our operations. The EF80 product, manufactured by Ecosphere Technologies in Stuart, Florida, has been successfully used on hundreds of wells in the United States and is a game-changing product for the oil and gas industry.
