ZENON Technology Wins Top Honours In Florida

CANADA, ONTARIO, OAKVILLE, Jun. 8 -/E-Wire/-- ZENON Environmental's (TSE:ZEN) membrane wastewater treatment plant in Florida recently received the State's top award for operational excellence.

The Florida Water Services Corporation's wastewater treatment plant in Lehigh Acres, which is located just outside of Fort Myers, was presented with the Earl B. Phelps Award in wastewater treatment superiority.

This marks the first time that the Florida Water Environment Association's prestigious award has been given to a plant using ZENON's ZenoGemÂ® technology. The plant was initially designed and built to meet Florida's stringent advanced water treatment quality standards for surface discharge, which are among the toughest in North America.

The community of Lehigh also reclaims the treated effluent for irrigation of the Admiral Lehigh Golf Course. ZENON treated wastewater produces effluent shown to be suitable for coastal discharge as well, which must also meet advanced water treatment quality standards.

The ZenoGemÂ® Membrane Bioreactor simplifies wastewater treatment by replacing a conventional activated sludge plant with a single process that is simpler and smaller in size than conventional plants. It incorporates ZENON's ZeeWeedÂ® immersed hollow fibre membranes that contain hundreds of billions of molecular size pores, replacing traditional clarifiers.

The membranes operate under a slight suction, which draws only pure water through each thin fibre, filtering out any unwanted particles larger than the size of the pores. The process produces a solid-free, high quality effluent that is suitable for discharge even to the most sensitive environment.

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.
