OriginOil Inc. announced that it has agreed to supply its water management solutions to a new East Asian hydroponics venture backed by Orix Corp. Orca Vision Inc. South Korea and China and a manufacturing facility in South Korea, will implement OriginOil's EWS technology in a vertical farming pilot that will include both vegetable and algae production. In the coming year, Orca Vision plans to expand the model to more than 100 locations.

In December, Orca Vision ordered three Model A12 algae harvesters from OriginOil for testing and demonstration. In parallel with this first shipment, OriginOil will enable Orca Vision to begin operating as a non-exclusive regional Original Equipment Manufacturer, manufacturing OriginOil's algae harvesters and water treatment systems under its own label.
