Industry: Environment

Press Release Summary: AquaBlok,Ltd., manufacturers of innovative composite particle
materials, is proud to announce the introduction of two new formulations that
combine the benefits of the company\'s patented delivery system with a patented water
treatment formulation licensed from Halliburton.

Press Release Body: BARACLEAR is not a herbicide, algaecide, copper treatment or
biological media

The BARACLEAR formulation optimizes binding, sorption, density, buffering, and
delivery of active ingredients to the pond, lake or reservoir at the sediment water
interface. The product is produced with a proprietary process which provides a
time-release capability. The active ingredients are aluminum sulfate, a well known
water treatment material and natural sodium bentonite. A added benefit of the
bentonite component in BARACLEAR is its potential contribution over time to the
sealing of earthen ponds.

BARACLEAR\'s time release formula allows industrial manufacturers, fish farmers,
livestock farmers, public water works managers, reservoir managers, golf course
superintendents and private pond owners to better target the application for
additional phosphorus removal coupled with alum\'s historically proven clarifying
capability.

PhosBlok is a formulation of BARACLEAR designed for high volume applications in
lakes, reservoirs, and professional water management, such as golf course ponds and
for architectural water features. PhosBlok is only supplied in FBIC bulk bags (super
sacks) or in other bulk materials containers of over 2,000lb quantities. PhosBlok
provides essentially the same performance characteristics as BARACLEAR but is
formulated for direct drop shipping to larger quantity end users.

BARACLEAR and PhosBlok are natural looking \"pebbles\" that are easily broadcast
applied without leaving the powdery film on water surface-normally associated with
powder alum additions.

Advantage over Powder or Liquid Alum Addition

Alum(Aluminum Sulfate or Potassium Aluminum Sulfate) in either powder or liquid form
has been used in the water treatment industry for decades and is commonly used by
many pond managers to remove phosphorus-the primary source of nutrient for algae
growth-from their water. It is well known that phosphorous resides primarily in the
sediment and is released from the sediment and is released from the sediment/water
interace. It is then suspended in solution in the water, where it becomes available
as a food source for algae growth. Alum addition that are made in powder or liquie
form will enter the water column where the aluminum ions bond with phosphate
molecules floatin in the water and the resulting aluminum phosphate becomes
insoluble in water and sinks to the lake bottom. Since the majority of the free
phosphorous resides on the bottom (in the sedimen), powder and liquid treatments
primarily address phosphorous in the water column, but not directly at the primary
source. The remaining untreated phosphorous on the bottom will continue to enter the
water column over time. However, the goal of the BARACLEAR treatment is to deliver
the active ingredient(alum)to the sediment on the bottom, where it can more
efficiently and effectively bind the phosphorous-at the source.

Available Products and Pricing

BARACLEAR and PhosBlok are available either directly from AquaBlok or through a
number of nation-wide distributors. BARACLEAR can be purchased from pain to pallet
to truckload quantities. For professional pond management or much larger quantity
requirements, PhosBlok is available in FIBC bulk bags or other specified packaging
of approximately 2,000lb size or greater.

Please contact AquaBlok for pricing and/or distributor inquires.
