WEST NYACK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 1997--Solucorp Industries Ltd. "The Company" (OTCBB: SLUP) announced today that its newly formulated and patent pending MBS3000 Soil Remediation Process is being unveiled for the first time ever. Under the terms of an agreement signed with Mid Canada Soil Treatment Ltd., Winnipeg, Canada, Solucorp will commence a full scale remediation of chromium contaminated soil. In addition to the MBS3000 "milestone," this clean-up is the company's first full scale commercial clean-up in Canada. The MBS3000 process is applied directly (in-situ) to contaminated soils and sludges, eliminating costly excavation and processing associated with soil removal from the ground prior to treatment. This, of course, is highly cost effective and enables the company to compete for the first time in a $600 million "in-situ" annual remediation market. The MBS3000 Technology adds to Solucorp's hazardous soil remediation arsenal which already includes the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation ("SITE") proven MBS(R) "ex-situ" hazardous soil remediation process (News Release 8/11/97) and the MBS2000 "In-Line" remediation process (News Release 8/5/96). Headquartered in West Nyack, N.Y., Solucorp Industries develops products for environmental markets, with specific focus on solving the problem of heavy metals contamination. The company's patent-pending MBS process has been acknowledged as an innovative and cost-efficient solution for remediating heavy metals in soil and industrial slag, sludge and ash. The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations. Actual results, including the timing and amount of revenues recognized, contracts awarded and performed and net income, may differ due to such factors as: delays in payment on contracts due to dealings with governmental and foreign entities; fluctuations in operating costs associated with changes in project specifications; economic and other conditions affecting the ability of prospective customers to finance projects; and other risks generally affecting the financing of projects. |
