ATLANTA, March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EAU Technologies, Inc. ("EAU"
or "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: EAUI), a leading provider of EO Water --
EMPOWERED WATER(TM) -- for high-volume, business-to-business applications, and
the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc., today announced an
agreement to modify their 2002 licensing agreement. EAU Technology utilizes
UGA patented technology to create its Empowered Water(TM) for use as a high-
level disinfectant.
"The industry has seen quite a few changes since we first licensed the UGA
technology. The new agreement takes into account our updated business model
providing Empowered Water(TM) at commercially viable high volumes. The
University of Georgia has been a great partner, and we look forward to
continuing that long-term relationship," said Wade Bradley, President and CEO
of EAU Technologies.
Scientists at the University of Georgia are studying ways to use
electrolyzed oxidative water, called EO water, to sanitize foods. Dr. Yen-Con
Hung, a professor at the University of Georgia's Department of Food Science &
Technology, and a member of the EAU Advisory Board, has led much of that
research. EO water, marketed as Empowered Water(TM) by EAU, is created by
combining salt and water with an electrical charge. The process separates the
positive and negative ions of water, creating two forms of water: one an
effective pathogen-killing acidic solution and the other an effective
alkaline/emulsifying agent. In poultry trials conducted by both UGA and EAU,
the electrolyzed alkaline water is used to clean the chicken, followed by a
rinse of the electrolyzed acidic water to kill any remaining food-borne
pathogens. EAU is currently in discussions with several poultry processors to
install Empowered Water as part of the plant's HAACP protocols which will help
them to meet the new USDA standards.
EAU uses technology licensed from the University of Georgia as part of a
range of agricultural instillations at Esmeralda Farms in Latin America. EAU's
robust industrial application is able to produce large volumes of EO water,
scaling from one-half up to 90 gallons per minute. The technology has proven
successful in harsh industrial environments, including poultry processing
plants and various environmental installations; a number of trials are
currently in process inside the U.S.
About EAU:
EAU Technologies, Inc. (EAU) is a supplier of Electrolyzed Water
Technology (EW Technology marketed as Empowered Water(TM)) and other
complementary technologies with applications in diverse industries. EAU's
water-based and non-toxic solutions (at application concentration, the
solutions are non-toxic to humans and live animals) may replace many of the
traditional methods now used to clean, disinfect and nourish in large
industries such as agriculture and food processing. EAU has solutions for
existing bacteria, virus and mold proliferation threats. EAU continues to add
innovative and efficacious products that offer a systemic approach to pathogen
elimination in food processing plants and related industries, thereby
producing safer foods while protecting the environment through "Green
Technology." EAU has developed patent pending systems that are being used on
dairies to process drinking water for dairy herds. Studies and trials are
showing promising results at improving animal digestion which shows signs of
improved animal health and production. EAU uses terms like "green,"
"natural," "non-toxic" and "organic" based on our NAMSA studies that show no
toxicity or cytotoxicity at levels as high as 70 ppm of HOCl. EAU uses only
water, food grade electrolytes and electricity to create all of its solutions.
The active ingredients in the solutions EAU creates through electrolysis are
GRAS (generally regarded as safe) approved. Please visit our website and sign
