The Benefits of Urban Agriculture; Trends in Green Agriculture and Sustainability

The Benefits of Urban Agriculture; Trends in Green Agriculture and Sustainability




August 31, 2010 - www.InvestorIdeas.com and its environmental investor portals, report on the benefits of urban agriculture for investors following green agriculture.

Aquamer Medical Corp. (OTCBB: AQUM) (DBA/ Urban Agricultural Corp.) a sustainable agriculture stock recently announced the acquisition of Urban Agricultural Corp. ("Urban Ag"), a privately owned company.
Urban Ag currently holds an exclusive license for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has right of first refusal to purchase exclusive licenses for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California from TerraSphere Systems, LLC ("TerraSphere") a leader in designing and building highly efficient systems for growing fruits and vegetables in controlled, indoor environments. With this acquisition, Aquamer intends to refocus its corporate energies and to rapidly expand Urban Ag's business of urban indoor farming, the environmentally friendly and sustainable urban production of healthy agricultural products under highly controlled, indoor conditions using advanced techniques and processes. Initial production by Urban Ag is expected to consist primarily of leafy vegetables and herbs. To reflect this new focus, Aquamer will seek shareholder approval to change its name to Aquamer Urban Agricultural Corp.



"We plan to locally produce, in urban areas, environmentally friendly and sustainably grown healthy fruits and vegetables on a year-round basis," commented Ed Reilly, CEO of Urban Ag. "TerraSphere has developed an advanced growth system that should allow us to produce these products year around, regardless of weather or environmental conditions, significantly benefiting local communities. Using these proprietary growth systems, we plan to produce fruits and vegetables that are free of herbicides and pesticides and that will have a substantially longer shelf life than agricultural products produced by traditional farming techniques."

Lester Brown discusses urban agriculture in his book,” Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization”.



Designing Cities for People: Farming in the City

Excerpt:

In some countries, such as the United States, there is a huge unrealized potential for urban gardening. A survey indicated that Chicago has 70,000 vacant lots, and Philadelphia, 31,000. Nationwide, vacant lots in cities would total in the hundreds of thousands. The CFSC report summarizes why urban gardening is so desirable. It has “a regenerative effect…when vacant lots are transformed from eyesores—weedy, trash-ridden dangerous gathering places—into bountiful, beautiful, and safe gardens that feed people’s bodies and souls.” 62



In Philadelphia, community gardeners were asked why they gardened. Some 20 percent did it for recreational reasons, 19 percent said it improved their mental health, and 17 percent their physical health. Another 14 percent did it because they wanted the higher-quality fresh produce that a garden could provide. Others said it was mostly cost and convenience. 63



A parallel trend to urban gardening is the growing number of local farmers’ markets, where farmers near a city produce fresh fruits and vegetables, pork, poultry, eggs, and cheese for direct marketing to consumers in urban markets.



Given the near inevitable rise in long-term oil prices, the economic benefits of expanding both urban agriculture and local farmers’ markets will become more obvious. Aside from supplying more fresh produce, this will help millions discover the social benefits and the psychological well-being that urban gardening and locally produced food can bring.

Agriculture and Water; How New Concepts In Agriculture from Aquamer (OTCBB: AQUM) (DBA/ Urban Agricultural Corp.) offer Water Solutions



"Agriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater by far - about 70% of all freshwater withdrawals go to irrigated agriculture"- WorldWaterWeek.org


August 27, 2010 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within www.Investorideas.com, reports on the relationship of water and agriculture and how new concepts in urban agriculture can improve efficiencies. With agriculture as the current leading consumer of freshwater, new approaches to agriculture from companies like Aquamer Medical Corp. (OTCBB: AQUM) (DBA/ Urban Agricultural Corp.)offer better water use solutions.


Environmental and Water Benefits
Cleaner Water

The Urban Agricultural system reduces the nutrient pollution associated with chemical fertilizers used on commercial farms. Of the 19% of U.S. rivers and streams assessed by EPA in 2000, roughly 48% (or over 125,000 miles) showed impaired water quality as the result of pollution from agricultural runoff (fertilizers, pesticides, bacteria, etc.). This impact is more than double that of any other source of water pollution.



Water Conservation

Hydroponics production uses three to four times less water per unit of production than field-agriculture. Urban Agricultural's closed-loop irrigation systems lead to even greater water savings.



Minimal Wastewater

The watering injection system recycles water and generates little or no wastewater. Wastewater is one of the most significant environmental costs associated with traditional methods of hydroponics.

Source: www.urbanagcorp.com



Water Statistics from WorldWaterWeek.org

Food, Agriculture

oAgriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater by far - about 70% of all freshwater withdrawals go to irrigated agriculture.

oToday, irrigated agriculture covers 275 million hectares - about 20% of cultivated land - and accounts for 40% of global food production.

oo777 million people in developing countries do not have access to sufficient and adequate food.

oFeeding everyone in 2050 - including the undernourished and additional 3 billion people expected - could require 50 % more water than is needed now. [23]

oReducing food wastage by 50% - including post-harvest losses, losses in transport and handling, and losses in the household - might vastly reduce or even negate the need for additional water to grow more food, which will ensure sufficient water is available for food in the future.

oBased on today's water productivity and a projected diet of 3000 kcal/day, an additional 5600 km3/year of water needs to be appropriated by 2050 to eradicate undernutrition and feed an additional 3 billion world inhabitants. This is almost three times as much as the present global consumptive water use in irrigation.

ooAs irrigation systems come under pressure to produce more with less water, there is a danger that unequal rights and entitlements will widen inequalities.

oFor some countries, climate change may lead to an increase in food production, as in North America and Europe, where high gains are projected.]

oFor the 40 poorest countries, with a total population of some 1-3 billion, climate change may lead them to lose on average up to a fifth of their cereal production potential in the 2080s.

oAs many as 40 % of the Sub-Saharan countries could lose a substantial part of their agricultural production due to climate change.

Investorideas.com - Water Stocks; Q&A Interview with Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX); Offering Water and Wastewater Solutions for Municipalities, Developers and Small System Owners



August 27, 2010 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents an interview with Mr. Dennis W. Doll , Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX), a provider of water, wastewater and related services, primarily in New Jersey and Delaware. Organized in 1897, the Company provides regulated and unregulated water and wastewater utility services through various subsidiary companies.



Water-Stocks.com Interview with Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO ofMiddlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Dennis, in today's environment of climate change, rising population, outdated infrastructure, water efficiencies are more important than ever. How does Middlesex Water address its client needs for water and wastewater efficiency, cost reductions and still meet the required service demands?

A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Today's water and wastewater challenges more than ever require sound technical and financial solutions to meet the increasing national problem of aging infrastructure while maintaiing quality service. Our company has the team, the tools and the talent to address any number of service needs. Across the country, these challenges grow more real every day, and as our reputation as a leading provider continues to expand beyond our existing service areas, we are seeing greater opportunity to help current and prospective clients find greater operational efficiencies, greater transparency about the operations and finances of their systems and assist with improvements to enhance service to customers.

Educating customers about the wise use of water and the importance of detecting household leaks is paramount in our business because it not only helps our customers to better control costs, but also helps to preserve a precious resource for future generations. As an EPA Water Sense partner, we are committed to promoting efficiency in water consumption and do so through the availability of WaterSense labeled products through our website. Equally important is our ongoing commitment to prudently investing in our water mains, treatment plants and other facilities so that capacity is in place to accommodate desired growth, and infrastructure can support current and future customer demands for reliable and affordable water and wastewater service.

Our unique suite of services enables us to address issues of capacity, outdated infrastructure and operational inefficiencies on both the water and the wastewater side. An excellent case study is our partnership with the Town of Milton, DE. Upon acquiring the Town's wastewater treatment plant and related facilities in 2007 through our subsidiary, Tidewater Environmental Services, Inc., it was assumed we would need to decommission the 47 year-old plant relatively soon and construct a new plant to meet capacity, infrastructure and related service challenges existing at that time. After implementing various aspects of our asset management program, we determined that by investing approximately $700,000 in the plant we could meet the capacity and other service needs for a significantly longer period of time than originally anticipated. This approach has resulted in maintaining the high quality of service our customers expect, extending the life of the existing plant and providing room for a reasonable level of growth, all in a cost-effective manner. We were honored to have the Governor of Delaware tour this facility in August 2010, where he acknowledged our company's operational excellence and credited our partnership with the Town of Milton for helping protect the environment and the residents' quality of life all while contributing to economic development in the area. So across all of our companies, we are working to continually enhance our business processes and implement high quality technology that drives reductions in costs while improving service. All of these approaches are important factors in our ability to meet increasing customer expectations and to deliver our growth strategy.

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
I have read reports that water consumption is expected to increase by 40% by 2025; what kind of opportunities and obstacles does that represent for companies like Middlesex?


A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
There are only a limited number of systems managed by investor-owned companies, but entities like us can play a critical role in helping local government meet water and wastewater challenges associated with sufficient supplies. As a company operating since 1897, if there's one thing we've learned it's that the demand for clean, safe drinking water will always be present and in fact, the lack of these supplies in some parts of the world has reached crisis levels. But the availability of ample water supplies to support heightened demand is best addressed with careful engineering planning and analysis decades before. Even where adequate supplies of quality drinking water are available, it also requires diligent management of water transmission and distribution assets to ensure the underground network of pipes, valves, hydrants, etc. can adequately support customer demand. The affordability and availability of more water and energy efficient products may over time affect how customers use water and how much they use -- but water will always be an element that is essential to human life. We need to continue working to educate the public, as well as the public sector, about the roles our company and the rest of the investor-owned utility industry can play in preserving our resources and meeting the present and future service needs.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Your company currently provides water and wastewater services in New Jersey and Delaware --- from Water Production, Treatment and Distribution to Wastewater Collection and Treatment and Water and Wastewater System Maintenance – what areas within your services represents the biggest growth markets?


A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
As municipally owned utilities work to face challenges of shrinking budgets, an aging workforce and ever increasing state and federal regulations, the continued privatization of government-owned facilities is one example of an opportunity for our company. We have experience working with county and local governments in such partnerships and we have an extremely talented workforce that can offer the right technical solutions. A related growth area includes contract operations for those entities that are not prepared to effect an outright sale of assets, yet need additional professional expertise to provide the operations know-how. The pace of our growth from acquisitions, privatizations, new residential and commercial construction and other complementary products and services is largely dependent on several key factors. Our national and local economies, the specific service and infrastructure needs of local communities, ever-improving technology and environmentally-sensitive approaches are all factors in some form in our growth profile.

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
The company just reported revenue for the quarter rose from $23.1 million to $26.5 million on higher demand; do you see this trend continuing moving forward?

A- Mr. Dennis W. Doll, Chairman, President and CEO of Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX)
Given the seasonal nature of our business, weather is a significant driver of customer demand. We expect that demand, as well as the many growth opportunities we are exploring, will serve as key drivers of revenue growth moving forward.

Investorideas.com - Cleantech Investor News; Six Clean Energy Markets That Will Change Life as We Know It in the Next Five Years

Investorideas.com - Cleantech Investor News; Six Clean Energy Markets That Will Change Life as We Know It in the Next Five Years




NEW YORK, NY - August 26, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) - Renewable energy is receiving a big push from the Obama Administration and from governments around the globe. Stimulus packages and government incentives for green technology have created jobs and established new industry, which in turn has sparked a brighter outlook on the world's economy. Going into 2011 and beyond, SBI Energy has identified six clean energies that will not only gain double-digit growth in the next five years, but will also alter the lifestyle we know today.

Green Building Materials and Construction -- Traditional construction creates considerable debris which ends up in our landfills, soil and fresh water supply. Furthermore, inefficient materials used in construction produce higher energy bills for the homeowner. The judicious use of recycled materials, lumber that is harvested from sustainable forests, more efficient insulation and windows, and improved construction techniques can drop energy bills for consumers while reducing the need for raw materials simultaneously. Market research performed by SBI Energy forecasts the size of the global green building materials market to grow to over $580 billion by 2015 from about $160 billion in 2010. This represents a growth rate of 21% CAGR which is significant but understandable in light of increasing demand for products that save energy and minimize harmful environmental effects.


Enhanced Oil Recovery -- EOR refers to a variety of oil producing methods, by which 70% - 90% more oil is produced from oil wells than is typically extracted by conventional oil production methods. Some of the more common EOR methods include steam, gas or chemical injection, which improve the viscosity of the oil, enabling the oil to flow more freely out of the well. More oil indicates lower prices. SBI Energy estimates dollars from EOR will climb steadily with some gentle fluctuations. SBI's analysts calculate the EOR market will experience a compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 63% per year over the 6-year span to total $1.3 trillion in 2015.


Solar Technology -- We've all seen the solar panels on residential home roofs and today energy providers are multiplying this concept by installing large solar farms and using concentrated solar power (CSP) technology to supplement power demands. Electricity from CSP technology is generated like conventional electricity, except solar power is used to heat the boiler instead of fossil fuels. Global CSP installations are just getting started and SBI Energy expects to see real growth in the segment beginning in 2012. CSP is the fastest growing segment within the solar technologies, going from $0.7 billion in 2010 to $3 billion in 2014, a CAGR of 42% for the period. Including systems and panels, SBI Energy sees the world solar market growing to $173 billion in 2014 -- a CAGR of 28%.


Offshore Wind Farms -- Coastal area will have a new view as nations increasingly harness the renewable energy generated by the fierce winds a few miles off their shorelines. During the next five years, SBI Energy expects offshore wind farms to crop up at a much faster pace than land-based turbines. Leading manufacturers of turbines and components are riding the wave of production expected to result from growing interest in offshore projects, such as the recent approvals of Cape Wind in Massachusetts and The Offshore Wind Economic Development Act in New Jersey. Helping them accelerate their offshore initiatives are government cash and tax incentives that promote renewable energy development, particularly in Europe and the U.S. "States are leading the way in off-shore wind development because it spurs economic development, helps to stabilize energy costs, and moves our country towards energy independence in a sustainable fashion," comments Donald Carcieri Governor of Rhode Island. SBI Energy forecasts the global market to grow at a five-year CAGR rate of 11% to reach more than $78 billion. The fastest growth will come from the U.K., which will more than double its offshore market value to reach nearly $5 billion in 2015.


Electric Vehicles -- For years the marketing and advertising from government and car companies alike have boldly stated that electric cars will take over the car industry "real soon now." Now, electric vehicles, in the form of hybrids that combine both gas and electric motors, are finally beginning to do just that. The world populace is accepting hybrid electric vehicles, giving them equal weight as an option in their car purchases. Just how quickly this market will grow depends on several factors including gas prices, government incentives and vehicle price. According to market research from SBI Energy worldwide hybrid electric vehicle sales will double from just under 700,000 units sold in 2009 to 1.5 million passenger hybrid vehicles sold in 2014. Exponential HEV market growth will occur in smaller existing markets such as Europe, Australia and South Korea, and in new markets such as India and China where product sold will increase from 95,000 vehicles in 2010 to 440,000 vehicles in 2014, a phenomenal 47% compound annual growth rate.

Smart Grid Technologies -- Implementing and integrating all of the renewable energies is somewhat contingent on the upgrade of our existing dilapidated 100 year old electrical grid to a powerful sophisticated smart grid system. The smart grid can be seen in broad outline as an architectonic structure consisting of three major sectors: grid infrastructure; information and communications technology (ICT); and applications and software (A/S). Despite consumer concerns over privacy and cost regulation, the smart grid will encourage clean energy production and ensure reliable electrical supply to the world through digital grid operation and a distributed network. SBI Energy sees the global smart grid market soaring upward nearly 150% between 2009 and 2014, reaching $171 billion in 2014. Meanwhile, the U.S. market is projected to double over the timeframe to about $43 billion by 2014.

“What are the first words that come to mind when you think of solar power?
Brilliant? Inefficient? Logical? Expensive?
Tom Djokovich believes that all those words are fair — which is why he and his company are working to turn the negatives into positives.
Djokovich is the CEO of Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based solar firm XsunX, and his company’s claim to fame is a thin-film photovoltaic solar process that takes inspiration from the hard drive industry.”

Investorideas.com - Nanotechnolgy Stocks; mPower Technologies (OTC.BB:XDSL) Emergency Illuminator Featured in September 2010 Issue of Men's Journal Magazine

Investorideas.com - Nanotechnolgy Stocks; mPower Technologies (OTC.BB:XDSL) Emergency Illuminator Featured in September 2010 Issue of Men's Journal Magazine



LITTLE FALLS, NJ - August 20, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL), a leader in the development of Smart Surfaces and advanced battery technologies today announced that its mPower Emergency Illuminator is showcased in the September 2010 issue of Men's Journal magazine, on newsstands now.



The magazine's annual "Design and Style" September issue includes a color image of the Illuminator. Beneath the headline "The Forever Flashlight," the following description appears: "For daily use, the mPower Emergency Illuminator draws juice for its 180-lumen LED from normal CR123 cells, but its brushed-aluminum body also hides a reserve battery with a shelf life of more than 20 years. It can keep the light glowing for two hours or charge a cellphone via the built-in USB port. [$289; mpowertech.com]"
Designed by Porsche Design Studio of Zell am See, Austria, and manufactured by MKE of Heidenreichstein, Austria, the mPower Emergency Illuminator is a precision instrument with a powerful 180 Lumens LED and two separate battery tubes. One tube is for everyday use and holds two CR123 batteries, while the other tube holds mPhase's Power On Command™ reserve battery. If the regular CR123 batteries run down, the Reserve Battery takes over -- even after laying idle for 20 years. The Emergency Illuminator also features a USB port that can be used for charging portable devices such as a cell phone.


Men's Journal, is an American men's lifestyle magazine focused on outdoor recreation and comprising editorials on the outdoors, environmental issues, health and fitness, style and fashion, and "gear," all targeted to males 18-35. The magazine has a circulation of 700,000.

Investorideas.com - Water Stocks; Investing In Water - Why it has never been more Imperative

Investorideas.com - Water Stocks; Investing In Water - Why it has never been more Imperative


August 19, 2010 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, reports on recent news and developments in the water sector. Additionally worldwaterweek.org reports, prior to this years upcoming conference in September, on global water stats, evidencing why investing in the sector has never been more imperative.



Water Statistics from WorldWaterWeek.org
Water Resources and Scarcity


Of all water on earth, 97 % is salt water, and of the remaining 3 % fresh water, some 70% is frozen in the polar icecaps. The other 30% is mostly present as soil moisture or lies in underground aquifers.
Less than 1% of the world's fresh water is readily accessible for direct human uses.
Global water use: Agriculture 70 %, Industry 22 %, Domestic use 8 %.
A child born in the developed world consumes 30 to 50 times as much water as one in the developing world.
With rapid population growth, water withdrawals have tripled over the last 50 years.
An estimated 90% of the 3 billion people who are expected to be added to the population by 2050 will be in developing countries, many in regions already in water stress where the current population does not have sustainable access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.
The 10 largest water users (in volume) are India, China, the United States, Pakistan, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mexico and the Russian Federation.
The world's water crisis is not related to the physical availability of water, but to unbalanced power relations, poverty and related inequalities.
Water scarcity can roughly be divided into two categories: “Apparent” scarcity exists when there is plenty of water, but is inefficiently and wastefully used; “real” scarcity is caused by insuffient rain-fall or large populations depending on a limited resource.
About 1.4 billion people, mostly impoverished, live in river basins where all the blue water is already committed or overcommitted.
Around 20% of total water used globally is from groundwater sources (renewable or not), and this share is rising rapidly, particularly in dry areas.
Water withdrawals are predicted to increase by 50 percent by 2025 in developing countries, and 18 per cent in developed countries.
In 2030, 47% of world population will be living in areas of high water stress.
By 2075, the number of people in regions with chronic water shortage is estimated to be between 3 and 7 billion.
By 2030 the number of urban dwellers is expected to be about 1.8 billion more than in 2005 and to constitute about 60% of the world's population. As the urban population increases, many major cities have had to draw freshwater from increasingly distant watersheds, as local surface and groundwater sources no longer meet the demand for water, or as they become depleted or polluted.
A nation's water foot print is defined as the total volume of freshwater, both green and blue, that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the people of the nation, i.e. both food and other goods and services.

Investorideas.com - Cancen Provides Update on Wescorp's (OTCBB: WSCE) H20maxx Technology at Its New Sarepta Disposal Facility

Investorideas.com - Cancen Provides Update on Wescorp's (OTCBB: WSCE) H20maxx Technology at Its New Sarepta Disposal Facility




Edmonton, Alberta - August 19, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) Cancen Oil Canada Corporation, an oil waste management and processing company, is pleased to provide an update on the use of new technology at its New Sarepta facility. In May, Cancen and Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE) installed the first commercial H2Omaxx oil and water separation unit at Cancen's New Sarepta disposal well. That unit has been integrated into the disposal facility and is fully functional.



Cancen and Wescorp are close to completing the first 30-days of continuous commercial operation of the unit which will provide data defining the upper limits of H2Omaxx's capability and applications. Once completed, Wescorp and Cancen will use the third party verified data to expand oil waste market opportunities. This new data will also be presented to various government agencies within Western Canada. Cancen and Wescorp will then strategize about how to best expand Cancen's business into new markets within the oil sands.


Keith Talbot, President and CEO of Cancen, states, “We are very pleased with the preliminary results from the unit's operation. H2Omaxx has been effectively processing a wide variety of waste streams from the Alberta oil sands, which are considered to be some of the dirtiest and most difficult water to clean in the oil industry. H20maxx is successfully cleaning produced water - which contained in excess of 25% oil and 10% solids and also contained asphaltines and grease - to new, higher levels once thought unattainable with conventional methods. With these excellent test results in hand, Cancen will begin to set new standards as an industry leader in the clean up and disposal of third party waste.


“The H20maxx will benefit the New Sarepta facility in that it reduces maintenance costs associated with well workover, spent filters and tank cleaning activities while increasing revenue through the sale of recovered oil. As well, these operations will allow Cancen to collect water and waste material from a variety of producers in the area and greatly increase revenue by attracting new customers. I have yet to see a single technology that can operate in such a wide range of applications, the H2Omaxx is demonstrating the ability to clean waste that normally would require multiple technologies,” continued Talbot.


“An emerging player in a multibillion dollar industry, Cancen is positioning itself to become an industry leader and Wescorp is pleased to be able to share a role in that growth by providing our technologically advanced equipment,” said Douglas E. Biles, President and CEO of Wescorp. “Working with Cancen is allowing Wescorp to gather important data from continuous commercial use of H2Omaxx over a 30-day period.”


Cancen is working with the assistance of Wescorp to obtain a number of ECRB Regulatory Approvals for various sites located within Western Canada. As these approvals are received, Cancen expects to deploy additional H2Omaxx units at its locations throughout Western Canada.
Wescorp has designed the H2Omaxx technology unit in a variety of sizes, including a mobile unit and commercial units (2,500, 10,000 and 65,000 barrels-per-day). The expanded range of units will give Cancen the ability to treat varied volumes of waste, more efficiently than any of its competitors.

Cleantech News; Mitsubishi Electric (TOKYO:6503 ) Supplies Ozone Water Treatment System for Water Purification in Kobe Metro Area

Cleantech News;  Mitsubishi Electric (TOKYO:6503 ) Supplies Ozone Water Treatment System for Water Purification in Kobe Metro Area


TOKYO--(Clean energy stocks news blog )--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced that it has supplied an ozone water treatment system comprising an ozone generator, a contact tank and an off-ozone gas destructor to the Hanshin Water Supply Authority's Amagasaki Waterworks, which supplies purified water to the cities of Kobe, Amagasaki, Nishinomiya and Ashiya. The newly installed equipment will start operating in August 2010.
Ozone systems disinfect, deodorize, decolorize and remove organic matter with far greater oxidizing power than chlorine, while producing harmless oxygen as the only by-product. Ozonization is a highly efficient water treatment technology with low environmental impact.

Amagasaki Waterworks, located in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, has supplied purified water to the four cities since 1942. In 2001, its first high-level water treatment equipment unit was installed to supply clean and palatable water through ozone treatment and activated carbon filtration. The new system will increase water treatment capacity and help stabilize water supply.

About Mitsubishi Electric's Ozone System Business

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation launched its ozone discharge-based ozone systems business in Japan in 1968, and has provided more than 1,600 ozone generator units in over 40 years, mainly for the domestic waterworks/sewerage market. Mitsubishi Electric offers a variety of ozone generators, ranging from low to high capacities designed to meet various customer needs.



Features of Mitsubishi Electric's ozone system:



•Compact size owing to small-diameter glass dielectric

•Improved ozone generating capacity per electrode made possible by Mitsubishi Electric's unique technology

•Low power/oxygen consumption due to increased power density developed through high-precision manufacturing techniques
