Pacific Sands' Hurriflo Wastewater System Results Confirmed And Documented By Independent Lab CLOVIS, CA--(INTERNET WIRE)--Oct 25, 2001-- Pacific Sands (OTCBB: PFSD - news) announced today that test results for the Hurriflo Wastewater Treatment System BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) reduction have been independently confirmed and documented by BSK Analytical Laboratories. Extended testing under varying operating conditions over a five-month period have shown gross BOD reductions as great as 88% with an average reduction of around 75%. The Hurriflo Wastewater Treatment System is designed to 'speed up' nature by simulating natural processes that take place in rivers, streams and ponds in a controlled environment. Many wastewater treatment systems today incorporate the use of dangerous residual chemicals such as chlorine or complex polymers to remove contaminants from effluent, potentially creating as many environmental problems as they may prevent. Engineers and employees at the plant where the beta Hurriflo system is installed have expressed enthusiasm for the technology, even when it was in the development phases. They note that the system has considerably fewer breakdowns than previous systems and point to a marked reduction in maintenance time expended. Through its practical, on-site research and development in the central California area, Pacific Sands is in the process of standardizing the Hurriflo system into a modular, scaleable and portable wastewater treatment facility for sales nationwide. Images of the beta Hurriflo system are available at: www.pacificsandsinc.com/iwwt.html Wastewater treatment is a growing concern worldwide. Industries and agriculture are facing tougher scrutiny from both the public and the government in addition to increasing environmental impact fines and sewage expenses. Billions of dollars are spent in California alone for the treatment of industrial and agricultural wastewater. A Hurriflo system can potentially pay for itself by drastically reducing, if not eliminating, environmental impact fines. Hurriflo Wastewater Treatment Systems can range in cost from $200,000 to several million.
