ME2C Environmental (TSXV: MEEC) (OTCQB: MEEC) has launched its water purification business, WE2C Environmental, with the opening of two new laboratories in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and State College, Pennsylvania. These labs, combined with expert talent, aim to establish WE2C as a full-service provider for water utilities to deploy solutions compliant with U.S. EPA's PFAS regulations.

The labs will focus on removing 'forever chemicals' from drinking water and offer unique capabilities such as reactivating carbon and comparing its performance to virgin carbon. WE2C's services will support water treatment plants, carbon service providers, and carbon distributors. The company's automated rapid lab scale tests are expected to yield results similar to more costly in-field pilot tests, providing a competitive advantage in the clean water sector.

ME2C Environmental (TSXV: MEEC) (OTCQB: MEEC) ha lanciato la sua attività di purificazione dell'acqua, WE2C Environmental, con l'apertura di due nuovi laboratori a Grand Forks, nel Dakota del Nord, e a State College, in Pennsylvania. Questi laboratori, insieme a talenti esperti, puntano a stabilire WE2C come un fornitore a servizio completo per i servizi idrici per implementare soluzioni conformi alle normative PFAS dell'EPA degli Stati Uniti.

I laboratori si concentreranno sul rimozione dei 'forever chemicals' dall'acqua potabile e offriranno capacità uniche come la riattivazione del carbonio e il confronto delle prestazioni con carbonio vergine. I servizi di WE2C supporteranno gli impianti di trattamento dell'acqua, i fornitori di servizi di carbonio e i distributori di carbonio. Si prevede che i test rapidi automatizzati su scala laboratoriale dell'azienda forniscano risultati simili a quelli dei costosi test pilota in campo, offrendo un vantaggio competitivo nel settore dell'acqua pulita.

Die Labore werden sich auf die Entfernung von 'ewigen Chemikalien' aus Trinkwasser konzentrieren und einzigartige Fähigkeiten wie die Reaktivierung von Kohlenstoff und den Vergleich seiner Leistung mit neuem Kohlenstoff bieten. Die Dienstleistungen von WE2C unterstützen Wasseraufbereitungsanlagen, Kohlenstoffdienstleister und Kohlenstoffdistributoren. Die automatisierten Schnelltests im Labormaßstab des Unternehmens sollen Ergebnisse liefern, die mit teureren Pilotversuchen im Feld vergleichbar sind und damit einen Wettbewerbsvorteil im Bereich der sauberen Wasserwirtschaft bieten.

New labs combined with world-class talent are major steps in ME2C's move to become a leading end-to-end provider in PFAS clean water technology solutions.

Corsicana, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (TSXV: MEEC) (OTCQB: MEEC) ("ME2C Environmental"), a leading environmental technologies firm, today announced the formal launch of its water purification business operating under "WE2C Environmental" with the opening of two new laboratories, located in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and in State College, Pennsylvania. In conjunction, these labs, and nationally recognized experts - pushing the boundaries and redefining standards in the field - are expected to establish WE2C as a full-service provider for water utilities to deploy smarter, more affordable solutions to comply with the U.S. EPA's PFAS regulations. In 2023, Black & Veatch prepared a report for the AWWA (American Water Works Association) which calculated the cost of meeting PFAS/PFOS regulations (by US water utilities) of over $47 Billion.

Richard MacPherson, CEO of ME2C Environmental, states, "The launch of WE2C's two new labs is one of the most significant advances in the history of our organization. These labs and our industry-changing processes are the culmination of a significant investment of both our time and resources that form the foundation of WE2C's entrance in clean water technology and standards, specifically in the area of removing 'forever chemicals' from drinking water."

Dr. David Mazyck, Division Director of WE2C Environmental, adds, "Our unique ability to reactivate carbon and compare its performance to virgin carbon through our highly expert analysis gives WE2C a competitive advantage in the clean water sector. Data analysis and recommendations are critical as we intend to partner with utility customers to forecast and optimize their PFAS compliance. Our thermal reactivation of spent granular activated carbon (GAC) provides our customers a feasible and sustainable solution for water treatment plants to meet PFAS legislation. The new 'Carbon Development' labs will provide utilities with guidance on how reactivated carbon performs to implement strategies to lower their costs."

WE2C Environmental is expected to be one of few providers in the United States able to conduct automated rapid lab scale tests that yields results similar to much more costly, in-field pilot tests. The laboratories have been established to provide the water utility industry the opportunity to consult with industry experts coupled with data specific to their utility for PFAS evaluation in potable water. The Company's services will support three sectors in the water treatment industry, including water treatment plants, carbon service providers who provide services to water treatment plants, and carbon distributors.

"As we move into 2025, WE2C's leadership, supported by our strong scientific and engineering expertise will see the near-term development of advanced, next-generation end-to-end water purification solutions designed to outperform every existing product on the market," concludes MacPherson.
