March 26 - Ecoloclean Industries Expands Operations to Texas Oil and Gas Fields

E-C WaterPure System Scores Excellent Test Results and Interest, as Company Establishes Operations to Service the Barnett Shale

Ecoloclean Industries, Inc. (OTC: ECCI) has expanded and returned to its origins in the oil and gas fields of the United States. Royis Ward, Chairman and CEO of Ecoloclean Industries, Inc., is certain this focused expansion will create optimal return for the E-C WaterPure System(tm) technology, customers, company and investors. To accelerate acceptance and contract acquisitions, the ECCI strategy includes the enlistment and support of leading exploration companies and regulatory agencies. The management team of ECCI has over 80 years of combined experience in oil and gas exploration being applied in the very fields they will now be servicing. According to Royis Ward, “Our technology has been proven effective in several industries and applications. We originated our technology and began this company out of these oil and gas fields. With our proven technology and our oil and gas experience, ECCI has been able to earn some opportunities here that are most often reserved for larger and more established companies. We are very pleased to be realizing this support with the introduction of our E-C WaterPure System(tm) here at the Barnett Shale.”

The choice of the Barnett Shale as the focal point of the expansion and launch of Ecoloclean Industries and the E-C WaterPure System(tm) is due in part to the size of the field, and the use of the hydraulic fracturing process. Discovered in 1981, the Barnett Shale (field) encompasses five thousand square miles, across 18 counties near Dallas / Ft. Worth. This is one of the largest natural gas deposits in the United States. It boasts plentiful reserves estimated at greater than 27 trillion cubic feet. To extract the gas at volumes that are economical and efficient, production companies must use the hydraulic fracturing process. The process utilizes millions of gallons of water for each well. The process greatly increases the permeability and the release of trapped gas deposits. The water pumped into the wells and approximately 80 percent of the water returns to the surface. Historically, the recovered water is discarded in disposal wells due to its saline content. The cost of this current form wastewater disposal is in excess of $1.2 billion dollars per year to the industry.

The gas industry, in partnership with communities and regulatory agencies, has become more aggressive about testing and employing measures to conserve and recycle water. Additionally, the ongoing drought over the past few years has made water conservation essential to the health of the communities and industry. “Industry and agencies are working hand-in-hand to find the most effective methods to protect and preserve our natural resources. Clearly, our technology helps reach optimal recycling levels for our most precious resource, water. We are very proud of our team that worked tirelessly to deliver the best possible products and services to our communities and customers. This is an exciting and important opportunity that will make a difference for our community, the environment, our customers, and our company,” added Royis Ward.

In the Barnett Field, there are currently 7000 gas wells operating and additional 4,350-permitted locations. The market for the E-C WaterPure System's(tm) E-C technology fits very well with the fracturing of both new wells, and older wells may that be re-fractured multiple times and operate for many years.

March 26 - A Large Not-For-Profit Catholic Health Care System Adopts SurgiCount Computerized Sponge Counting System

Bar Coded Sponge / Scanner System Chosen to Help Reduce RFO Thus Improving Patient Safety Across the Health Care Network

SurgiCount Medical, a division of Patient Safety Technologies (OTCBB: PSTX), the manufacturer of the Safety-Sponge™ surgical sponge counting system, announced a two-year contract to provide its computerized sponge counting system to a network of fourteen hospitals primarily located in California and Texas.

“After an extensive evaluation of the Safety-Sponge™ System, the network determined that the SurgiCount System was the most effective method to prevent retained foreign objects," said Rick Bertran, President of SurgiCount Medical. “In making their decision, the network evaluated systems on their ability to provide consistent and standardized patient care, measurable outcomes, documentation and overall cost. We are thrilled to have such a large network as a customer and look forward to working with all fourteen of their hospitals.”

SurgiCount continues to demonstrate the effectiveness of its Safety-Sponge™ System to numerous medical facilities throughout the nation. Currently, we are in contract negotiations with several of these large medical facilities, and we believe that a significant number will begin converting to the Safety-Sponge™ System. Although there are several variables in determining what revenue an individual hospital may generate, it has been our experience that a hospital performing 10,000 – 15,000 procedures a year would generate between $120,000 and $220,000 in recurring revenues. To the extent hospitals convert to our system as anticipated, overall revenues from sales of the Safety-Sponge™ System will begin to accelerate.

March 26 - Coda Octopus Says Jacksonville to Become First US Port to Deploy New Technology to Prevent an Underwater Terrorist Attack

Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CDOC) announced the first deployment in the United States by a local law enforcement agency since the 9/11 attacks of a new generation of port security technology to respond to underwater threats.

The Company said it had received an order from the City of Jacksonville, Florida, to deliver its Underwater Inspection System, developed for the United States Coast Guard, to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, whose team of highly trained public safety / Bomb Squad divers will be using the system on their small patrol vessels. The UIS utilizes Coda’s patented real time 3D sonar technology, the Coda Echoscope™ to identify and classify objects underwater, enabling much more rapid and effective searches of ports and waterways.

Coda Octopus expects to deliver the UIS, which has already been deployed by the US Coast Guard and in the Middle East and Asia, to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office within the next thirty days. The Company also said that a large number of US ports have shown a significant interest in the UIS, and that it expects to be able to confirm at least one additional order over the next 60 days.

“The UIS will greatly enhance our capability to safeguard our ports and underwater critical infrastructure” said Chief Roy Henderson, who heads the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Homeland Security Division.

Jason Reid, Coda Octopus President and CEO, said he viewed the Jacksonville order as a “significant milestone” for Coda Octopus. He commented that “It was shortly after 9/11 that I had my first view of a 3D real time sonar device in its earliest prototype form, and the Company’s commitment to commercialize this technology was indeed inspired by the attacks. It has been a long journey, but we always envisaged the ports of the United States as a very large and important market for these devices. Today, we are more certain than ever of the size of this potential market, the uniqueness and appropriateness of the technology and of the products we have to offer, and of the interest on the part of US Coast Guard and of large numbers of port authorities throughout the United States.”
