SIONIX Corporation Announces Final Testing Phase of Its First Commercially Installed Field Unit
ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — SIONIX Corp. (Sionix – OTC Bulletin Board: SINX) today announced that its distributor Innovated Water Equipment, Inc. (“IWE”), based in Little Rock, Arkansas, is in the final stages of testing the water treatment capabilities of SIONIX’s first commercially installed Elixir 225-P/RO Unit. IWE, through its subsidiary Innovated Water Systems, Inc., expects to have preliminary test results in the next two weeks and complete testing by the end of September 2009.
SIONIX’s Elixir 225-P/RO Unit is designed to enable oil and gas drilling companies to perform onsite recycling of water produced from hydrofracturing (frac water) and reuse it for hydrofraction, significantly reducing costs by eliminating the need to transport frac water offsite, while helping to make the companies more eco-friendly. The Elixir 225-P/RO Unit is specifically designed to process brine water produced from hydrofracturing of shale formations for the production of natural gas. “The Elixir 225-P/RO Unit has been engineered to provide on-site treatment and recycling of frac water for a fraction of what some energy producers now pay to dispose of such water,” said Rod Anderson, CEO of SIONIX.
“IWE is excited about being a distributor of SIONIX equipment, continuing a logical progression of what we believe will be a long and beneficial relationship for both companies,” said Eric Ward, President of IWE. “Our network of contacts in surrounding states include the largest oil production centers in the United States opening a number of markets for IWE. We believe SIONIX products will provide a huge benefit for our customers in this region as they seek an economical, environmentally responsible way to treat frac and brine water generated by the production of natural gas.”
Rod Anderson stated, “Completion of the final stages of testing of the Elixir 225-P/RO Unit in the next few weeks for precisely the type of commercial application our products have been designed to tackle represents a significant step forward for SIONIX as we continue to shift our focus from R&D to marketing and sales.”
