NanoStruck Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “NanoStruck”)
(CSE:NSK) (OTCQX:NSKTF) (Frankfurt:8NSK) announces a Letter of
Intent (LOI) signed with the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico to treat the leachate water at the Puerto Vallarta Landfill
site (the “Plant”).
Bundeep Singh Rangar, Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board
said: "Leachate is among the most contaminated wastewaters on our
planet. Using the capability of our nanotechnology, we are
effectively treating the leachate water and are doing so in a way
that protects the environment and saves the Mexican taxpayer money.
We believe there is a large opportunity is present for us in this
regard.”
NanoStruck and Puerto Vallarta Landfill are working towards
finalizing an agreement for Puerto Vallarta Landfill to purchase
the Plant for a price of approximately C$2.21M including financing
costs, payable over 72 monthly payments (the “Contract”). The LOI
spells out the technology and commercial terms for the proposed
undertaking.
Incorporating NanoStruck’s proprietary NanoFiltration
technology, the Plant reduces heavy metals and other contaminants
by up to 99%, rendering the treated leachate fully compliant with
the requirements of NOM-001-3 SEMARNAT (Mexico’s Environment
Ministry). This will allow the Puerto Vallarta Landfill to clean
water locally and safely dispose the treated wastewater into local
water courses or use it for agricultural irrigation, saving money
on offsite third party treatment and associated transportation
charges.
There is a major problem with leachate disposal at a significant
number of landfill sites in Mexico. NanoStruck’s on site leachate
treatment solutions reduce costs and ensure municipalities and
private landfill owners are fully compliant with the strictest
regulatory requirements. Currently, Mexico has 370 major government
owned landfill sites and numerous privately-owned landfills. By
law, leachate, which is highly polluted drainage water from land
field sites, must be treated to reduce containments before being
released into the environment.
About the Company
NanoStruck Technologies Inc. is a Canadian Company with a suite
of technologies that remove molecular sized particles using
patented absorptive organic polymers. These versatile biomaterials
are derived from crustacean shells or plant fibers, depending on
requirements of their usage. Acting as molecular sponges, the
nanometer-sized polymers are custom programmed to absorb specific
particles for remediation or retrieval purposes. These could be to
clean out acids, hydrocarbons, pathogens, oils and toxins in water
via its NanoPure solutions. Or to recover precious metal particles
in mine tailings, such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and
rhodium using the Company’s NanoMet solutions.
By using patented modifications to conventional technologies and
adding polymer-based nano-filtration, the Company’s offers
environmentally safe NanoPure solutions for water purification. The
Company uses Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health
Organization (WHO) guidelines as a benchmark for water quality and
safety to conform to acceptable agricultural or drinking water
standards in jurisdictions where the technology is used.
Additionally, the Company’s technology can be used to recover
precious and base metals from mine tailings, which are the residual
material from earlier mining activities. By retrieving valuable
metals from old tailing dumps, the Company’s NanoMet solutions
boosts the value of existing mining assets and reduces the need for
new, costly and potentially environmentally harmful exploration and
mining.
The Company’s current business model is based on either selling
water remediation plants or leasing out units and charging
customers on a price per liter basis with a negotiated minimum
payment per annum. For processing mine tailings, the value of
precious metal recovered is shared with tailing
site owners on a pre-agreed basis.
