SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 26, 2007 -- Locus Technologies (Locus), the industry
leader in specialty environmental services and web-based environmental
information management, announced today that it has been selected by the US
Navy's Innovative Technology program to deploy the Continuous Circulation
Surfactant Enhanced Recovery (CCSER) remediation technology to various
government entities. CCSER is an evolution of the field-proven Closed-Loop
Bioremediation process promoted by Locus and its affiliate partner, MCC
Technologies. CCSER has been designed and formulated specifically to treat
highly immobile and weathered heavy-end hydrocarbons/fuel oils/and highly
viscous carrier oils that contain harmful toxic components (such as PCBs,
PAHs), but are recalcitrant to traditional remediation designs. Locus's
selection by the US Navy is further endorsement of company's cutting-edge
approach to promote innovative remediation technologies to deal with
complex environmental issues.
After stringent technical review, the Navy found Locus's abstract eligible
for the Navy's Environmental Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) program. The
Locus abstract will be entered as part of an online database, referred to
as "DENIX," the Defense Environmental Network and Information Exchange.
DENIX is available to all DOD field activities seeking solutions for their
environmental program needs.
"We are pleased to be able to support the US Navy and other Department of
Defense (DOD) branches with this innovative technology solution for
difficult-to-remediate, heavy-end hydrocarbons," said Mark Bittner, Locus's
Regional Director. "The DOD will now have access to a superior technology
for heavy-end hydrocarbon recovery and remediation," added Mr. Bittner.
