"The purpose of the visit is threefold," says Mr. Swanson. "We know that there is an immediate demand for our equipment throughout British Columbia. The region is experiencing an increasing demand for real estate development and many of the most desirable areas are not serviced with water and wastewater infrastructure. This area boasts some of the most beautiful alpine and ocean side real estate in North America and the difficulty of servicing these new developments with conventional treatment systems is severe. Numerous development proposals are for island settings where each location is a stand-alone project. A number of developments are being held up by regulatory bodies simply because they are not able to provide water and wastewater services. We feel that the Purio technology is ideal in addressing the needs of these developers. One of our objectives in the tour is to determine the ways in which Purio equipment may be deployed to service these developments."

"Second on our list of goals is to select a suitable location at which to set up our treatment system in order to demonstrate it and gather performance data in order to obtain the permits required to operate our wastewater treatment equipment in British Columbia," continues Mr. Swanson. "This process will be valuable to us in that it will give us first-hand information that we require in order to custom design our equipment to best serve that market."

"Our third objective in the tour is to determine the suitability of a proposed manufacturing facility in the region," says Earl Switenky. "We've found experienced entrepreneurs in that region who have proposed to both market our technology and manufacture our products. They are intimately familiar with different aspects of real estate development and are already involved in manufacturing to serve that industry. One advantage of the location of this market is that it's really just out our back door."
