Mid-Gulf Recovery, which is offering a range of equipment and services to BP under its master service contract, will provide Ecosphere’s patented Ozonix technology, a non-chemical water treatment system, to treat gray and black wastewaters to meet allowable discharge requirements.
Glen Smith, CEO of Mid-Gulf Recovery Services, said: “Mid-Gulf’s expertise is responding to natural disasters with a total solution package for our customers.
“We have studied all of the various water treatment technologies and companies in the Gulf area over the past several months. We have determined that Ecosphere’s Ozonix process complements our commitment to protecting the environment by using a non-chemical process to treat wastewater while at the same time providing a highly oxygenated water to enrich the marine life.”
Mickey Donn, chief operating Officer of Ecosphere, said: “Ecosphere is extremely pleased to be working with Mid-Gulf Recovery during this very stressful time in the Gulf region.
“Its long history of responding to natural disasters, experienced management team, vast resources, and proven track record in the area combined with our patented, non-chemical technology to treat waste streams makes for a very formidable team to tackle this massive undertaking.”
