BLOOMFIELD, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2000--Industrial
Ecosystems Inc. (OTC BB: IECS.O) announced an 85% reduction in bunker-c
(heavy weathered) hydrocarbon contaminated soil in a six month period
ending December, 16, 1999 at their Pt Molate Navy Fuel Depot
demonstration project. The longer hydrocarbon chains and thick
consistency of bunker-c make it the most difficult type of hydrocarbon
pollution to clean. IEI is concentrating its effort with the Navy on
bunker-c because this is the hydrocarbon pollution problem that is
most challenging at many military bases that are being closed, and
most likely to be recommended for bioremediation. The other
hydrocarbon chains being remediated at Pt Molate recorded equal or
better reductions. Remediation expert, Dr. Randall von Wedel,
principal biochemist-director of research for Cyto-Culture Inc. stated
"the project is proceeding at an impressive rate considering the
process requires little or no active work once the treatment piles are
constructed. In spite of cold and rainy weather the treated soil has
attained degradation decay rates approaching one-half those seen with
more aggressive aerobic soil bioremediation projects requiring
frequent tilling". The sponsors of the demonstration are pleased with
the significant reduction in only 6 months and have provided an
extension of the project. When the demonstration concludes and
documentation approved, the final results will be reported.
IEI also announces the launch of its new web site,
www.industrialecosystems.com. The site focuses on IEI's proven
bioconversion process- "MOE" -(microbial oil eater). A description of
"MOE", information on partner alliance programs, press releases, a
company profile and more are featured. The site will play a vital role
in the company's new marketing campaign that has been established by
the new management team appointed last year. "The web site clearly
focuses on the hydrocarbon market which is our primary target market
and thereal strength of MOE," stated Joe Knox, IEI's Vice President
of sales and marketing. " We are very excited about the site's use of
leading-edge push technology like the opening flash animation. The
site requires almost no navigation effort as the information is
extremely straightforward and in many cases pushed directly to the
user. We are in the process of listing the site with over 250 search
engines." The site will be updated and improved on a continual basis.
Industrial Ecosystems Inc. (IEI) provides cleanup, remediation
and reclamation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil using a proprietary
microbial process.
