Previously, Mr. Aiello was Vice President, Latin American Affairs, Ogden Yorkshire Water Company, Vice President Business Development, Ogden Projects, and Vice President, Government Affairs, Ogden Martin Systems. Before joining

this point in its corporate life," Mr. Aiello stated, "having

2200 customers in the tri-state area, the Company is poised to
take the next step to provide its valuable resource recovery services
on a selected national and international basis." Mr. Aiello
noted that because the Company's technology removes and recycles metals from liquids rather than chemically fixating them for disposal it provides an environmentally superior alternative to industries which have previously focused on "end of the pipe" solutions.

to the KBF Technical Advisory Committee to the Board of Directors.
