SONIC LICENCEE COMMENCES FIRST PROJECT IN AUSTRALIA |
|
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep. 20 -/E-Wire/--
Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc. (TSX Venture: SNV) today announced that its Australian licencee Veolia Environmental Services (VES) is commencing its first site remediation project. VES licenced Sonic's Terra-Kleen solvent extraction process for use at site remediation projects throughout Australia. As a condition of the licence Sonic provided equipment and training to VES for this first small project to be conducted at the VES facilities in Melbourne, Victoria.
|
Mr. Alan Cash, President of Sonic's USA operations, is currently in Melbourne to assist VES personnel in the project. Mr. Cash commented from Melbourne, "We have now secured all necessary permits for the State of Victoria and I am pleased to say we can get on with the project. This first project is a fairly simple one and uses a pretty basic version of the Terra-Kleen process. I will stay with the VES team until we know we have substantially completed the project for the client."
|
Mr. Dan Stangroom, Manager of Remediation Services for Veolia Environmental Services, commented "We have already received a lot of interest at a recent trade show in Melbourne and we are confident that we will attract a lot of business from owners of sites contaminated with both dioxins and PCB. We have operations in all major urban centres and we are looking at using the Sonic technology at our existing treatment centres and at major sites. I am looking forward to gearing up for larger projects as soon as this is complete."
|
Like most countries, Australia is undergoing extensive urban redevelopment of Brownfield sites as growth of the major cities becomes limited by available Greenfield lands. In Sydney, post-Olympic development has already resulted in some major projects.
