RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- HydroFlo, Inc. (OTCBB:HYRF) is pleased to announce the results of the operation of its PLUS system technology installed at Punta Gorda, Florida.
During late August 2003, HydroFlo installed and began operations of a PLUS system at lift station No. 63 on Burnt Store Road in Punta Gorda to prove the effectiveness of the technology to the municipality personnel. Testing of system performance was conducted by an employee of Punta Gorda.
Within the first 24 hours of operation, the dissolved oxygen (DO) content in the wastewater increased from less than 1 part per million (ppm) to greater than 4 ppm. The dissolved sulfides were initially lowered from greater than 6 ppm to 0 ppm. Over the operation, the average dissolved sulfide levels were less than 1 ppm.
From the beginning of the operation of the PLUS system at this lift station, the use of chemicals to control odors was discontinued.
HydroFlo is in the business of providing aeration equipment used for the pre-treatment of wastewater. Using the patented Pressure Line Up-Stream or PLUS pre-treatment system, customers begin the treatment process at their pumping stations, prior to the wastewater reaching a treatment plant. The company also provides a full range of related services to companies and municipalities to treat their wastewater at the treatment plant by the use of the energy efficient aeration systems in treatment lagoons.
"We look forward to working with Punta Gorda and other surrounding municipalities to increase efficiencies with this technology," said Dennis Mast, CEO of HydroFlo.
