Solucorp to Test Mercury Control Technology in a U.S. Department
of Energy and Utility Power Plant Industry Sponsored Project 


FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 26  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solucorp Industries
(OTC:SLUP) announced today that it has contractually joined the consortium of
members interested in the combustion of subbituminous coal. The Consortium,
organized by the Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC), consists of
and is funded by a select group of major utilities and engineering firms and is
co-sponsored and partially funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
National Energy Technology Laboratory. EERC will conduct and evaluate
Solucorp's MOLECULAR BONDING SYSTEM (MBS(R)) a potentially cost- effective
mercury control technology for utility power plants emitting mercury into the
air. Tests will be conducted on a pilot unit at EERC in next thirty (30) days.

Solucorp's MOLECULAR BONDING SYSTEM (MBS(R)) technology has been successfully
proven in the treatment of mercury and other heavy metals in contaminated soils
and sludges. The overall objective of this EERC will be to identify, test, and
evaluate applicability of this and other innovative mercury control
technologies to subbituminous coal-fired power plants. The final results from
all the tests are expected in November 2004.

Rich Runco newly appointed President of Solucorp Industries said, "We are
pleased to join this consortium of some of the world's foremost authorities on
environmental mercury control technologies in the effort to eliminate the
health and environmental hazards associated with these emissions. We believe
that participation in the EERC/DOE program will showcase Solucorp's mercury
control technology as a superior mercury emission remediation technology and
look forward to forming important relationships as a result of this
participation in this EERC/DOE sponsored program."

Mercury is an immediate concern for the U.S. electric power industry because of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA's) December 2000 decision that
regulation of mercury from coal-fired electric utility steam-generating units.
The "EPA Mercury Study Report to Congress" (1997) and the "Utility Hazardous
Air Pollutant Report to Congress" (1998) both identified coal-fired boilers as
the largest single category of non-controlled sources of atmospheric mercury
emissions in the United States, accounting for about one- third of the total
anthropogenic emissions. The U.S. EPA estimates that coal- fired power plants
in the United States emit 96,000 pounds every year of mercury. Cost estimates
for mercury control for power plants range from $30,000 to $70,000 per pound of
mercury.
