EESTECH Jetwater Desalination Licensee Sponsors Coal Seam Gas Forum
SYDNEY, June 30 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --
Impulse Hydro, which is the licensee for the EESTech Inc. (EESH.PK) JetWater Thermal
Desalination System, was a sponsor of the recent 'Optimising CSG Production & Utilisation
Forum' held in Brisbane.
The forum, which attracted an audience of more than 70 representatives from the industry, was
addressed by Derek Pallet*, Impulse Hydro's technical manager, who described the water pre-
treatment and post-treatment concentrate handling through the use of EESTech's JetWater
thermal desalination system, which cleans the contaminated water to near 100 per cent purity.
The need to clean contaminated water, which is released as part of the coal seam gas
extraction process, has come about because of a change in policy by the Queensland State
Government. The policy states that gas producers are not allowed to continue to store
contaminated water in holding ponds or be discharged into waterways and that existing
evaporation ponds will have to be remediated within three years.
The Impulse system uses reverse osmosis and the thermal desalination of the JetWater
System to clean the contaminated water, thereby reducing the need for evaporation ponds.
The other speaker at the forum was Dr Patrick Glynn*, a research scientist working for the
Exploration and Mining Division of the CSIRO who described the crystallisation and elimination of
evaporation ponds.
EESTECH signed the licence agreement with Impulse Hydro in March 2009 giving them access
to manufacture and sell their JetWater System Technology for water purification projects within
Australia.
years experience in water treatment.
EESTech (which stands for Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Technologies) owns
or holds the rights to three environmentally sustainable technologies, including the JetWater
technology, that have direct applications to the coal mining and energy industries.
EESTech's JetWater thermal desalination system has been rated in an international
environmental and engineering consultant's report as being one of the world's leading water
purification systems. The report rated the JetWater technology as one of the best overall in the
market based on both technical and cost criteria.
Thermal desalination of water is based on evaporation, which replicates nature's own
purification process, by heating water and condensing the steam.
Although the JetWater technology is based on well-known and widely understood chemical and
thermo-dynamic principles, EESTech's development team has refined the processes to greatly
increase effectiveness and efficiency.
EESTech's CEO, Mr Murray Bailey said that a major benefit of the technology is that it can
purify up to 97 per cent of the feed-water, compared to less than 75 per cent by most membrane
systems.
