BRISBANE, Australia, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- EESTech Inc, a US
OTC market company trading under the symbol EESH, is pleased to
advise Shareholders that EESTech has purchased a 50% equity
position in Environmental Management Solutions Inc, a US company
that has developed a breakthrough in mine site remediation
equipment known as the Waste Resource Agglomeration Module (WRAM),
a process that can transform mine waste, both coarse discard or
saturated waste fines into a valuable resource.
Approximately 10% to 20% of all mining resources end up in waste
discard dumps or settling ponds, the cumulative effect of this
waste becomes a very expensive environmental liability for any mine
operator. Government regulated management of mine waste and mine
site closure costs are significant and can often determine the
financial viability of a mine.
The WRAM is potentially a game changer for the mining industry,
turning the liability of waste into a substantial asset and
eliminating the cost of waste management and or mine site
remediation by recovering the 10% to 20% of saleable mining
resource that is normally lost.
When the WRAM is used in combination with EESTech's HCGT waste
to energy platform and either the JetWater and or the Blue Drop
Water treatment / purification systems a stand alone end-to-end
mine site waste management and remediation service can be cost
effectively established with substantial profit being generated
through the sale of the recovered resource.
EESTech believes that the WRAM system will bring another
dimension to the way in which EESTech is able to promote its
products and services. The WRAM will open up the opportunity to
promote a complete mine-site remediation service.
The HCGT will use waste to generate electrical energy that in
turn can power the JetWater and Blue Drop Water treatment /
purification systems for the processing of contaminated mine waters
and to generate the power required to drive the WRAM for upgrading
of the waste resource.
A single WRAM unit will use approximately 800 kilowatts to cost
effectively produce, subject to specific gravity of material, 100
tons of upgraded material per hour. Therefore a 3 megawatts HCGT
could power either three WRAM units with sufficient power left over
to operate all ancillary project components on a 24 hour basis
including lights, office, infrastructure, etc or two WRAM units and
a complete water treatment / purification facility.
The combination of EESTech's products will extend the life of
any mine, therefore delaying the very expensive process of
mine-site closure, the WRAM will enhance market opportunities for
EESTech and thereby significantly increase EESTech's earning
potential.
