Service Systems International Announces Contract with Walker, Louisiana
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Service Systems International (OTCBB: SVSY) is pleased to announce a contract to provide the municipality of Walker, Louisiana with their patented ultraviolet (UV) wastewater disinfection system.
“The significance of this project goes beyond increasing revenues,” said VP-Sales and Marketing, Peter Z. Colak. “The coupling of this award with the world-scale project in Peterborough, Ontario clearly demonstrates the range of plant sizes in which our Ultra Guard(tm) technology can be effective. We continue to win bids across the spectrum of wastewater disinfection needs whether pitted against chemical or other UV disinfection options.”
Walker Mayor Mike Grimmer praised the Ultra Guard system saying, “Our new wastewater facility will be using a proven technology that will provide a much safer environment for our citizens. We are excited about this plant and we’re looking forward to a successful future working with Service Systems.”
SVSY will install a six-lamp system for the municipality in a project that will see the flow treated expand from 0.5 million gallons per day (MGD) to 3.75 MGD. It will be placed within existing plant structures formerly used for chemical disinfection. It will use a fraction of the lamps and produce an 88% energy savings over industry alternatives. SVSY’s Ultra Guard(tm) technology is acknowledged as the most advanced in the UV industry.
Walker’s switch to UV wastewater disinfection is just the most recent example of the trend to move from chemical treatment of wastewater and potable water to an environmentally friendly, safe and efficient UV alternative. It is expected that chlorination will be phased out and that UV will replace or supplement a majority of the existing chlorination systems.
