Agreement expands collaboration and use of HiPOx® 

LONG BEACH, Calif., March 14, 2011 – APTwater, Inc., an emerging leader in water treatment process technologies and services, and Air Products have signed a joint marketing agreement that broadens collaboration and use of APTwater’s patented HiPOx® process technology for advanced water treatment projects worldwide.  

The new agreement expands opportunities and geographical reach for both companies into global markets for industrial and municipal water treatment applications. 

APTwater’s HiPOx® Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology is a market leader for water, wastewater treatment, and water disinfection.  In addition, it is the premier technology for advanced disinfection and destruction of trace pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting compounds, and other organic pollutants for beneficial water reuse applications.  

Recently, APTwater and Air Products completed one of the largest AOP applications in the world, the 30 MGD Aquifer Storage & Recovery treatment system for the City of Wichita, Kansas. This advanced oxidation process destroys atrazine, controls bromate formation, and meets virus inactivation requirements for health and human safety.

“This new agreement is a dynamic partnership for both companies,” said David Stanton, Chief Executive Officer of APTwater.  This agreement enables both firms to team on a project by project basis.  APTwater will be promoting HiPOx to the North American municipal market directly and through the development of a new manufacturer’s representative network, a right previously held exclusively by Air Products. Air Products will have an exclusive right to promote HiPOx® for its onsite wastewater treatment offering provided to industrial clients worldwide.
