Ecosphere to license Ozonix water treatment technology

US-based water engineering company Ecosphere Technologies has announced a number of global industries and applications for licensing of its Ozonix technology to replace liquid chemicals in water treatment.

Ecosphere new business development director George Chapas said that following the successful introduction of Ozonix to the oil and gas industry, the company is attempting to bring Ozonix to every industry where chemicals such as chlorine are currently being used to disinfect water.

"We are constantly in discussions with strategic partners from around the world to license Ozonix for many of the various applications including but not limited to agriculture, food and beverage, industrial, mining, marine and municipal sewage water treatment," Chapas added.

Ecosphere stated that its Ozonix technology can be licensed in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia for non-energy-related applications. These include farming, irrigation, sludge processing, surface water treatment, storm, drainage water and sewage water treatment, brewing, dairy processing, automotive, pharmaceutical, textiles, manufacturing and mining process water treatment.

Ecosphere director and CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage and ICAP Ocean Tomo Auctions Dean Becker said that from an intellectual property standpoint, Ecosphere holds a dominant position in combining multiple advanced oxidation technologies to treat bacteria in the many industries where carcinogenic chemicals are currently being used to eliminate bacteria.

"With five US patents approved and dozens of US and international patents pending, Ecosphere is well-positioned to strategically partner with companies that have the financial resources and geographic reach to successfully introduce the proven Ozonix technology to their respective customers and markets," Becker added.
