SIONIX Corporation Announces That Preliminary Test Results of Its First Commercially Installed Elixir 225-P/RO Modular Packaged Water Treatment System Meet Expectations
ANAHEIM, Calif. — September 17, 2009 — SIONIX Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: SINX) today announced that the preliminary test results of water processed by its first commercially installed Elixir 225-P/RO Unit show the unit is meeting performance expectations. The unit, which was designed to recycle brine water created during the production of natural gas, is fully installed and has successfully recycled water during test periods. The Elixir 225-P/RO Unit is designed to process and clean approximately 6,000 barrels per day (252,000 gallons). “Based on preliminary data and test results, we are pleased with the unit’s performance and are confident that the unit will meet designed volume output specifications,” said Rod
Anderson, CEO of SIONIX.
SIONIX and its distributor Innovated Water Equipment, Inc. (IWE), based in Little Rock, Ark., are in the midst of testing IWE’s first commercially installed Elixir225-P/RO Unit, which is being evaluated in the field at a natural gas drilling site. The midterm results indicate that SIONIX’s modular packaged water treatment system meets the requirements for recycling and reusing brine water from the natural gas production process.
“The Elixir 225-P/RO Unit is in operation and the process works with very positive preliminary results. The equipment is recycling brine water produced from the gas fields and returning the recycled water back to the field,” says Tom Chambers, V. P. of Operations of Innovated Water Systems, Inc.(IWS).
SIONIX’s innovative wastewater treatment system is designed to, among other things, enable drilling companies to recycle wastewater on-site and reuse it for hydrofraction, reducing costs substantially while helping to make drilling companies more eco-friendly.
SIONIX’s Elixir 225-P/RO Unit is a self-contained, on-site solution that is designed to recycle brine water at a fraction of the price now being paid to dispose of this water off-site, thereby providing enormous savings while increasing efficiencies and minimizing environmental impact.
SIONIX expects to complete the full testing phase of the Elixir 225-P/RO unit in the next 30 to 60 days, and will release further testing results as they become available.
