VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 13, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- David Dungate, Vice President of First American Scientific Corp. (OTCBB:FASC), is pleased to announce that the first KDS System sold under its agreement with the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) of the U.K. has been shipped to London, England.
Under agreement with FASC, WRAP has agreed to provide up to $1,000,000 USD for the purchase and installation of one complete KDS system to be located at a local pulp mill in the U.K. and for market research, scientific research and re-design of supplementary systems for industry-specific applications. The site will be announced when details are finalized. FASC engineering staff will be working with WRAP for the duration of the project which will run for approximately 18 months. For the project, the KDS will be the key technology to dewater sludge and enable the separation and recycling of fiber and clay for a variety of applications.
WRAP is government-funded, not-for-profit organization set up to improve the U.K.'s resource efficiency. Its particular focus is on creating stable and efficient markets for recycled materials and products and removing barriers to waste minimization, re-use and recycling. www.wrap.org.uk

According to Brian Nichols, President of First American Scientific Corp., "The stringent environmental legislation, high disposal costs for waste and high energy costs in the U.K. and the European Union create a significant opportunity for our technology and we look forward to working with WRAP on this exciting project." www.fasc.net
