Solucorp Industries' MBS Technology Successfully Remediates Hazardous Activated Carbon from Major Cement Manufacturer, Prepares

ORANGEBURG, N.Y., Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Solucorp Industries Ltd. (Pink Sheets: SLUP), a leading developer and provider of cost effective, permanent technologies for the remediation and prevention of hazardous heavy metals, is pleased to announce that the Company's Molecular Bonding System (MBS) technology was successful in remediating hazardous mercury contaminated activated carbon from a major U.S. cement manufacturer. The initial sample was two hundred times greater than the EPA's non-hazardous Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) limit. After treatment with Solucorp's proprietary MBS technology the TCLP testing showed non-detectable results and was performed at EMSL Analytical, Inc., an independent certified testing laboratory. The cost of transporting and disposing of any hazardous waste is three to four times, or more, the cost of disposing of a non hazardous waste.

On August 6, 2010 the EPA issued amendments to the Portland cement manufacturing regulations and new source performance standards. The amendment was set in place to reduce annual mercury emissions by an estimated 92 percent. Existing kilns must comply within three years of this rule. New kilns built after May 2009 must comply at startup or within sixty days after the rule was published. There are an estimated 181 Portland cement kilns that will be operating at 100 different facilities throughout the United States by 2013. The amended air toxics requirements will apply to 158 of those kilns. The cement industry is the third largest producer of mercury emissions in the U.S.

The Company through the use of two of its technologies has the ability to not only reduce elemental and ionic mercury in flue gas emissions, as discussed in our press release dated July 24, 2008, but it can also remediate any other heavy metal contaminated waste streams that are present. These technologies have already been proven extremely effective in coal-fired power plants. The Company intends to contact all of the cement plants affected by these regulations.

"The Company is extremely pleased with the results of the testing performed on the activated carbon samples. Once again the MBS technology shows how effective it is in the remediation of heavy metal contaminants such as mercury. We look forward to implementing our technologies into both existing and future cement plants," said Jim Ryan, President of Solucorp Industries.
