Business Wire, Sept 24, 1996

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 1996--ELI Eco Logic Inc. (TSE:ELI CANADIAN DEALING NETWORK: ELII.WT.A ) ELI Eco Logic Inc. ("ECO LOGIC") announced today that it has been awarded a contract for pilot-scale testing of the ECO LOGIC Process at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site in Massachusetts.

A pilot-scale unit will be taken to New Bedford in early November for seven days of on-site testing. The contract, valued at US$ 235,580, has been issued by Foster Wheeler Environmental, Inc., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund cleanup contractor in EPA Region 1, to ECO LOGIC and its U.S. strategic marketing partner, Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC").

Art Shattuck, Vice President of SAIC, indicated, "Based on successful pilot-scale testing results at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site, ECO LOGIC will be a leading candidate for the cleanup of the reported 14,000 cubic yards of PCB contaminated sediment."

Dr. Douglas J. Hallett, ECO LOGIC's CEO, noted, "This represents ECO LOGIC's first entry into the U.S. Superfund market. The ECO LOGIC Process is already commercially available for the remediation of the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site." The New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site pollutants, namely, PCBs, PAHs, and metals, are the same pollutants which the ECO LOGIC Process has previously treated and destroyed. The ECO LOGIC Process, a non-incineration process, has been previously validated and permitted in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Significantly, it was evaluated for Superfund Site cleanup by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under its Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program. It is now commercialized with two units constructed and operating for industrial clients in Australia and Canada.

ELI Eco Logic Inc.'s business is to solve toxic chemical problems in a safe, permanent, cost effective manner. The ECO LOGIC Process is an innovative technology that converts on-site, organic hazardous wastes into reusable or disposable products. This non-incineration process has gained high public and regulatory acceptance. ECO LOGIC's worldwide hazardous waste cleanup market includes PCBs, electrical equipment, contaminated soils, chemical warfare agents, petrochemical wastes, certain low level radioactive mixed wastes, and municipal sludge.
