LONG BEACH, Calif., June 7, 2011 - Long Beach Business Journal Staff Writer Tiffany Rider writes, "APTwater, Inc., an emerging leader in water treatment, wastewater reuse and environmental remediation, was recognized for innovative technology that treats and cleans water sources affected by nitrates. The company, founded in 2009, won a Progressive Manufacturing 100 Award for Innovative Mastery from Managing Automation Magazine last month for its latest water treatment process, ARoNite. APTwater recently signed a contract with Cucamonga Valley Water District for its first ARoNite demonstration plant.
According to APTwater CEO David Staton, ARoNite removes nitrates from water using an all-natural process. Nitrates are chemical contaminants that typically come from agricultural farming and impact water supplies everywhere from the L.A. Basin to the Central Valley and up, Stanton said. Most of the time, seriously contaminanted wells are just shut down, but sometimes water supplies are blended into wells. In those cases, the nitrate problem isn't being treated, he said."
