Current Water Aquaculture Partner Orders Third AmmEl-Aqua Unit
Included in New Equipment Sales Orders Totalling $290,000
GUELPH, Ontario, June 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Current Water Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: WATR) (“CWTI” or “the Company” or “the Corporation”), an emerging technology leader in the management of industrial and municipal wastewater, receives purchase order for a third AmmEl-Aqua system for the safe transport of marine and fresh water animals (i.e., lobster, snow crab, king crab, salmon, trout) to international markets.
The inaugural trip for this specific AmmEl-Aqua unit will be as an important component of the sophisticated water treatment system required for the safe transport of valuable king crab from an aquaculture facility in Norway to Miami, Florida, USA. As ammonia is the principal metabolic waste product of fish and other aquaculture animals, the innovative AmmEl-Aqua unit will aggressively treat the water during pre-transport conditioning and transportation to prevent accumulation of ammonia to toxic levels, thereby ensuring the delivery of high value, healthy seafood product.
Dr. Shelp said, “To date, the results of ongoing test programs conducted by our partners Ship Nature’s Way/GIS Ventures have been very positive. This third AmmEl-Aqua unit is the first of many commercial units expected to be sold in 2022.”
This innovative water treatment system is being marketed under the trade name, Blue Vita Technologies Inc., which recently received $1.7 million in funding from Canada’s Ocean Supercluster to introduce new technologies for the mobile storage and transport of aquatic animals (Blue Vita – Ocean Perfect; Blue Vita Video; BlueVita Technology Project – Canada’s Ocean Supercluster).
Dr. Shelp added, “The value of the global seafood trade in 2021 was USD 164 billion, many times higher than the beef, pork or poultry trade, and prices for many seafood species are unprecedented due to rising freight and energy costs (Rabobank: Global seafood trade value rebounds to USD 164 billion | SeafoodSource). The demand for sustainable and healthy seafood is expected to drive trade volumes of high value seafood species in the next few years.”
