18 Dec 2013
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 18, 2013 - Cavitation Technologies, Inc. ("CTi") (CVAT) (Berlin & Stuttgart: WTC) is pleased to report that as the Company approaches the halfway point of its fiscal year, CTi has generated its strongest half-year results in regards to generated revenues and sales back log, while also continuing to develop new applications and technologies.
Fiscal year to date, CTi has completed sales agreements in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Furthermore, CTi is currently overseeing new applications for processing and refining vegetable oils such as canola, sunflower, and palm oil. Trial testing is currently underway in the United Kingdom, Italy and Turkey, as well as CTi's R&D facility in the United States and at the Desmet Ballestra R&D center in Brussels, Belgium.
Additionally, CTi has also been able to broaden its focus beyond edible oil processing and has made significant headway in the treatment of wastewater and "flowback water" or "produced water" created in the fracking process. The Company's Cavitation and Electrocoagulation System(TM), a patented process that efficiently removes organic, suspended solids, heavy metals, and bacteria, has displayed exciting results in trial testing for the treatment of wastewater and produced/backflow water from fracking operations. On November 15, 2013 the company's patent application, "High-Throughput Cavitation and Electrocoagulation Apparatus," was approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The Company has also expanded its applications to the Biodiesel industry. On November 14, 2013, the Company announced that its biodiesel patent, "Process for Producing Biodiesel through Lower Molecular Weight Alcohol-Targeted Cavitation," was approved for issuance by the USPTO. In addition to its existing portfolio of patented and patent pending processes, the Company has filed another two new patent applications this year and is currently awaiting approval from the USPTO. Approval of these new patent applications will open up additional new market opportunities in industries such as bioethanol and biomass.
Igor Gorodnitsky, CTi's President, stated, "The Company has generated approximately $1.8 million in sales back log during the first six months of fiscal 2014. We've come off two very strong quarters with regards to booking new business, and from a financial standpoint, our recent surge in system sales certainly puts us in a position to generate more revenue and deliver strong results to our shareholders. Furthermore, we've been able to do all this while developing new products and applications and strengthening our relationships with our strategic partners, Desmet Ballestra and GEA Westfalia. These two internationally recognized and well-respected companies have played a significant role in helping us market our technology while also allowing us the flexibility to pursue new research and applications for our core technology."
