News is out on Canada Newswire! Ooops, sorry, wrong Aquasol! Neil. ============ AQUASOL TECHNOLOGIES INC. TRADING ON NASD OTC BULLETIN BOARD EDMONTON, Alta., Aug. 11 /CNW/ - Aquasol Technologies Inc. Symbol: AQUS Exchange: OTCBB Jose Lourenco, President of Aquasol Technologies Inc., is pleased to announce that the company's common stock is trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol AQUS. Aquasol Technologies Inc., an environmental technology company, has developed proprietary biological processes for the treatment of liquid and solid organic wastes generated by the oil & gas, livestock, food processing and pharmaceutical industries. Aquasol's technology processes industrial and commercial wastewaters, recovering the energy and producing value added by-products. Aquasol's Biotreatment Systems use its advanced biotechnology, greatly accelerating the natural biological purification processes without the addition of chemicals, thereby meeting the most stringent environmental standards set by international regulatory boards including the US EPA. Aquasol's primary marketing focus is the multi-billion dollar hog industry in the United States. This industry is a major source of environmental pollution in the hog producing states, and is presently being targeted by the EPA. The current practice is to store the waste in vast, often structurally unsound, containment facilities. In 60 Minutes' ''Pork Power'' documentary, Morley Safer reported that North Carolina alone has some nine and a half million tons of hog manure produced every year. Massive spills, such as the collapse of the walls of an eight-acre sewage lagoon, have saturated rivers, farms, and highways with 25 million gallons of liquid manure. This type of situation has become an all too common reality, and Aquasol has the answer. Showcasing its solution, Aquasol plans to invest $650,000 US to build and locate one of its Biological Animal Waste Treatment (BAWT) systems, in one of the Southern States most affected by hog industry pollution. This type of system and Aquasol's additional biological solutions will save municipalities hundreds of millions of dollars annually by eliminating the need for waste storage systems and the construction of down stream waste processing. Furthermore, this will eliminate the need for sewers and holding lagoons, reducing the cost of construction of waste treatment systems worldwide, while delivering the benefits of eliminating fugitive odors and harnessing the energy derived from biological wastes. In many developing nations where sewage treatment is now being addressed, Aquasol can deliver systems without the requirement of building traditional sewers for down stream processing while delivering clean or gray-waters back for continual use. Aquasol's engineers have completed all of its research & development on its proprietary technologies during its last two years as a private corporation. Independent lab tests support the data, proving unequivocally that Aquasol's full life-cycle environmental technology is a solution for many industrial and commercial wastewater problems. Aquasol also provides solutions for the treatment of industrial wastewaters. Based on its core technologies, Aquasol has developed several distinctive proprietary products to answer the demands within these markets. With its proprietary technologies being proven effective through independent testing, and with international and domestic market awareness shown by both government agencies and private industry, Aquasol is certain that its technologies will aid in reducing its customer's costs and aid in protecting the environment. This poses Aquasol to become a dominant force in the treatment of wastewaters around the world. For further information: Preferred Financial Marketing (310) 789-1132, website aquasol.net
