Sonic CLEANS 1500 tonnes MORE at DELTA PROJECT |
|
VANCOUVER, ALBERTA, Sep. 15 -/E-Wire/--
Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc. (TSX Venture: SNV) today announced that it has successfully cleaned a further 1500 tonnes of highly contaminated polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) soil at the Juker project in Delta, British Columbia. This project is nearing completion and should generate approximately $1 million for Sonic's fourth quarter.
|
The Delta site was Sonic's first major project in Canada . The Company gained valuable field experience using the Terra-Kleen extraction process here. Terra-Kleen removes and concentrates the PCB prior to chemical de-chlorination and permanent detoxification via Sonoprocess™. Over 1100 tonnes of PCB contaminated soil had been cleaned at the site using Sonic's proprietary Sonoprocess™ alone. The addition of the Terra-Kleen solvent extraction technology combines to improve the versatility, efficiency and competitiveness of the Sonic solution.

Adam Sumel, President and CEO of Sonic, commented "Incorporating the Terra-Kleen process with our SonoprocessTM at Juker caused us some regulatory and operational delays but it afforded us the opportunity to gain first hand operating experience using Terra-Kleen. Valuable lessons learned at Juker have already yielded benefits at our first Ontario project where we were able to mobilize a second mobile system to commence operations on schedule last month."

Mr. Peter Shields whose company owns the Delta site commented "Sonic has demonstrated the perseverance and ingenuity required to develop a new technology and adapt it successfully during operations. I am pleased the project is now approaching completion and would not hesitate in recommending Sonic."
