Wescorp Updates H2Omaxx Unit Operations at Cancen

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTCBB: WSCE), a clean water technology company focused on implementing its low-cost solutions into several markets, including the oil & gas and marine industries, today provided an update on the operations of its H₂Omaxx unit operating in its first commercial environment.

“Our goal is to demonstrate the superiority of the Wescorp H2Omaxx technology in a commercial environment”

As previously announced, the 2,000 barrel-per-day H₂Omaxx unit was connected in May to treat contaminated water and hydrocarbon waste material collected at the operating facilities at Cancen Oil Canada Corporation’s oil recovery and disposal New Sarepta treatment site, outside of Edmonton, Alberta. The site was selected because it receives a wide range of oil-contaminated fluids, thereby enabling H₂Omaxx to be utilized under a broad range of input products.

Throughout June and July, Cancen experienced challenges in maintaining continuous operation of its New Sarepta fluid disposal well. With the disposal well not operating to receive the treated fluids, and without alternate storage, the H₂Omaxx unit was prevented from continuous processing. “While during this period, the H₂Omaxx unit did not have an opportunity to operate 24/7, it did receive and treat a wide range of oil-contaminated fluids,” stated Robert G. Power, Executive Chairman of Wescorp. “We maximized the use of the site during this time by treating available fluids. This included fluids that have much higher oil content than any the H₂Omaxx unit had previously treated.

“While H₂Omaxx previously had treated produced water, which included approximately 2%-3% oil content, we were able at the Cancen site to successfully treat fluids with oil content up to 15%. This is an important development, as it provides further strong operating evidence that the H₂Omaxx system offers a very wide range of water remediation capabilities that will enable customers to experience significant cost savings over traditional multi-technology remediation systems.”

Cancen has now advised Wescorp that the disposal well is operating on a continuous, partial capacity basis, enabling the unit to operate 24/7. Wescorp also now has access to three large fluid storage tanks on-site, which will enable the treatment of additional contaminated fluids if the disposal well operation is interrupted for a period of time.

“Our goal is to demonstrate the superiority of the Wescorp H₂Omaxx technology in a commercial environment,” continued Power. “On July 21^st, we began a 30-day, 24-hour operating cycle, operating the unit without continuous on-site supervision. Importantly, the oil contamination levels of the in-going fluid to be treated, and the treated fluid, will both be tested regularly. The test results of those fluids will be submitted to independent laboratories for analysis and reporting. We believe that these tests will document the operational effectiveness and specific cost savings of H₂Omaxx in comparison with competing technologies. If we receive the lab results a few weeks after the conclusion of the 30-day run, we can expect to publish summary test result data by mid-September.”
