CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BHTG), a sustainable technology and services company, announced today its first lease contract for the Altapure AP-4™ high-level disinfectant technology to a K-12 public school district located in Pennsylvania (the "School District").
The School District will be utilizing the Altapure AP-4 as a part of its protocol to help protect the schools within the district from the spread of COVID-19 and potential infections from other viruses and bacteria. BioHiTech conducted two product demonstrations with representatives from the School District during the summer to show how the Altapure AP-4 achieves hospital-grade disinfection of classrooms, bathrooms and other common areas, including everything within the area such as toys, chromebooks, computers, rugs, carpeting, and sports equipment. BioHiTech expects to deliver the unit in the coming days and to conduct and broadcast a live demonstration with the School District at a ceremony to take place in the coming weeks.
"The implementation of the Altapure AP-4 with this School District is an important milestone for BioHiTech as we have achieved our first commercial success with this exciting new opportunity for our company," said Frank E. Celli, CEO of BioHiTech. "Education represents a very important market opportunity for us and we are confident other school districts around the nation will follow this district's leadership in creating a safer environment for learning. We all want our schools to reopen, but we want to make sure we are doing everything to keep our children and teachers as safe as possible when they are physically back in school. This system can be used as part of an ongoing cleaning protocol to periodically disinfect classrooms and equipment. It can also ensure that if a child or teacher tests positive for COVID-19, or some other virus, utilizing an automated process, school employees can quickly achieve a high-level disinfection of any potentially affected rooms to cut down on the chance of spread. We look forward to working with this customer in their important efforts to get students safely back to school and for other educational institutions to follow suit through our continued product demonstration and distribution efforts."
The Altapure AP-4™ is an enhanced, automated and touchless high-level disinfection sub-micron aerosol system launched in 2017, that provides a safe process and rapid kill of spores, viruses, and vegetative bacteria, such as but not limited to: COVID-19, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE, MRSA, Bacillus atrophaeus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Polio virus, , C. auris and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). Extensive research and development alongside Harris Corporation, formerly ITT Exelis, a top-tier global aerospace, defense, and information solutions company, resulted in the creation of a very unique and patented aerosol generation technology that when coupled with the liquid agent Altacare®, a reagent grade peracetic acid solution, yields rapid and unparalleled results for high level disinfection. Altapure is committed to providing its customers with the highest quality products and processes in the marketplace that are safe to use and are environmentally friendly. All of Altapure's products are engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the U.S.
