Contract comprises approximately 3000 tons of PCB contaminated material)
CANADA, Jul. 27 -/E-Wire/-- Adam Sumel, President and CEO of Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc. (SNV.TSX Venture) is very pleased to announce that Sonic has signed its first commercial contract for on-site clean-up and treatment of approximately 3000 tons of PCB contaminated soil and other materials. The contract was signed on Friday July the 23rd with Juker Holdings Ltd., (Juker) which owns the property where the contaminated material is isolated. The property is located in the Vancouver Lower Mainland of British Columbia where Sonic will deploy its new on-site remediation facility and commence the clean-up of this property later this year.
Mr. Sumel stated "This is a very significant milestone for Sonic. Securing this contract is validation of our PCB soil remediation process and of our fundamental strategy to develop commercial Sonoprocesses based on our Platform Technology. This is the first major site remediation contract for Sonic and will coincide with the commissioning of Plant Two, our full-scale remediation facility, which is on track to be deployed on this site later this year. PCB contaminated soil from the Juker site was used and successfully remediated to below 2 parts per million during our recent demonstrations for process approval with the Ministry of Land, Water and Air Protection. In order to ensure expeditious completion of this site we will sub-contract certain material handling and related work".
Sonic's proprietary PCB soil remediation process is a cost-effective alternative to incineration and offers many additional advantages. Sonic's PCB destruction process is conducted on-site and eliminates the risk of transporting hazardous materials to a fixed facility. The process is non- thermal and avoids the potential of creating hazardous gaseous bi-products such as chloro-dioxins and furans. Sonic's solution is scalable, creating a global deployment opportunity.
Mr. Pete Shields of Juker Holdings commented, "We have been watching Sonic's progress for some time and we take great pride in using Sonic's environmentally friendly, on-site solution to clean up our property. Juker could have remediated the site earlier than this but we did not like the solution available to us. Previously our only option was to transport the entire contaminated product off site to be incinerated. We chose to isolate the contaminated material and keep it on-site until a better solution became available and I am pleased that that day has now arrived".
The Company is now ready to market its proprietary PCB soil remediation process and further discussions with new clients and end users, and is preparing to bid on additional sites.
