Local Testing Firm Contributed To Patent Process

Robert Elfstrom, vice president of field operations and inventor of the Mobile PureWater System, recently announced that Aqua Environmental Laboratories of Newtown, an independent testing laboratory, performed tests on a water purification system that is currently under consideration for a US patent.

Global Ecology Corporation (GEC), a company providing environmental treatment technologies and services, announced in late July that it has filed an application to patent its Mobile PureWater System via an 8K submitted to the Securities and Exchange commission on July 21. This transportable system filters and purifies up to 90,000 liters of water per day by pumping it from a contaminated water source and treating it within the system itself.

The unit is powered by solar, wind, diesel generator, or vehicle alternator dispatch and requires no external power source.

The patent application was submitted to the US patent office, application number 61081715. The patent is now officially pending, which means that GEC is now able to market the system under a “patent pending” designation.

Global Ecology CEO Peter Ubaldi said the patent on the Mobile PureWater System will allow his company to protect its intellectual property and create barriers to entry in this field.

“We anticipate that the Mobile PureWater System will revolutionize the way that purified water is delivered to hard-to-reach areas,” Mr Ubaldi said. “Since units can be transported overland and process enough water to meet the daily consumption needs of roughly 4,500 people, we anticipate a high demand for this system. We have already received requests to begin unit production for deployment in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and regions in the US. In addition, our UN affiliation has considerable interest in this product.”

Following the tests conduced in Newtown, “The contaminated, pretreatment water was found to have an E-Coli level of 135 parts per million (ppm) and a Coliform level greater than 20,000 ppm,” Mr Elfstrom said in a release. “After being run through the system, the water was retested and both of these levels were at zero. Tests for other contaminates showed equally astonishing results. This mobile unit performs better than anything I could have imagined.”

Through its network, Global Ecology has obtained exclusive rights to several EPA-approved technologies in the water treatment and soil remediation fields. This proprietary technology helps reduce algae, bottom sludge, and harmful bacteria and is able to provide “green” and, if needed, transportable methods to recover the usability of water, soil, and land.
