ZENON Technology Selected By Samsung Electronics
CANADA, ONTARIO, OAKVILLE, Jun. 6 -/E-Wire/-- ZENON Environmental Inc. (TSE:ZEN) has been awarded a $7 million industrial contract to supply Samsung Electronics of Korea, a global leader in semiconductors, with its proprietary ZeeWeed® water
treatment technology.
This is one of the largest ultrafiltration membrane process treatment plants for an
industrial application ever built, and also one of the largest in the Asia Pacific
region. The project is expected to be complete by the end of 2001.
"This order positions ZENON strategically in Asia and will considerably increase opportunities for future industrial ZeeWeed® applications throughout the region,' said Andrew Benedek, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZENON.

According to Mr. Benedek, this is a repeat order from Samsung whose Malaysian facility is currently using ZENON's ZeeWeed® technology to treat water for their manufacturing process.
ZENON's new water treatment system in Korea will process 13 million gallons of water
per day for Samsung Electronics' in-house manufacturing.
The ZeeWeed® technology uses hollow fibre membranes containing hundreds of billions of microscopic pores. The membranes work on the application of slight suction that draws only pure water through each thin fibre, filtering out any unwanted particles larger than the size of the pores.
ZENON is a world leader in providing advanced membrane products and services for water purification, wastewater treatment and water reuse.
Chosen as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, the ZENON group of companies operates from nine locations in North America, six in Europe, and one in each of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
ZENON's products and services are marketed for a variety of municipal and industrial applications through ZENON's offices and representatives located throughout the world.
