Tuesday November 7, 10:25 am ET
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 7, 2006 -- Mr. T.K. Kwon, B. Eng, Vice President - Foreign Operations of First American Scientific Corp. (FASC) (OTC BB:FASC.OB - News) is pleased to announce the completion of the installation of one KDS Model S-6 equipment ready for processing secondary sewage sludge in preparation for burning at the Anyang City Waste Water Treatment site located near Seoul, S. Korea.
When operated in series with recycled heat from the facility, the system can reduce moisture content of the input sludge from 76% to 5%, at a rate of 20 tons per day, making it extremely suitable for efficient, emission free burning and recycling back into the operation. We are confident the addition of the KDS system at this size of facility will significantly reduce both plant energy costs and environmental costs.
According to Mr. H. Chang, M. Eng, President of FAS (Korea) Ltd., "This is the first of many systems we hope to install and operate in South Korea. There are 453 similar waste treatment sites in S. Korea alone and if the pilot project is successful, we expect to install 200 similar KDS systems over the next five years."
According to Brian Nichols, "We are very confident that our equipment can handle the job in Korea. In addition, trial runs at our pilot project in Canada are showing 99.9% pathogen kill during processing, indicating that the end product is also suitable for use as a high nutrient fertilizer. Both applications are suitable for thousands of municipalities around the world. Tomorrow, Mr. Kantonen and I will be in Yokohama, for a demonstration and update on the pilot project from our licensee in Japan."
