LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 10, 2013 - Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (CTI) (CVAT) (Berlin & Stuttgart:WTC) announced today that the Desmet Ballestra Group, CTI's strategic partner since 2010 and the licensee of the company's vegetable oil refining technology, has successfully completed another installation of CTI's Nano Neutralization(R) system at an edible oil refinery in Volga, South Dakota. The purchased system, capable of processing 500 tons of soybean oil daily, will aid the refinery's production of refined, bleached, and deodorized soybean oil.
Roman Gordon, CTO, commented, "This installation marks a significant milestone for our company and our technology. The results from this particular installation have been profound. Our system has demonstrated a 90% reduction of citric acid and 50% reduction of caustic, all of which have led to improved efficiency and operations for edible oil processing." CTI received the initial down payment for the system in the second quarter of the current fiscal year and collected additional revenue from the sales agreement at the end of the fiscal third quarter, March 31, 2013.
