VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wataire Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets:WTAF), an international company focusing on developing and delivering technology-based water harvesting systems worldwide, is pleased to announce Roland Wahlgren has reported to the company detailed field test results on the CI-2500 water generators in Belize City, Belize.
The water production results have matched our computer model within very small variables, therefore certifying that our computer simulations will be accurate for all future engineering and design requirements.
This places Wataire substantially ahead of all others in the field of atmospheric water harvesting. Wataire's proprietary design and evaluation software can estimate power consumption per liter and using weather data, Wataire can be assured our projections of regional water production are accurate.
The unit in Belize in three separate tests has produced water at the rate of:
Test 1-2548 liters per day
Test 2-2679 liters per day
Test 3-2504 liters per day
These results exceeds the capacity of our daily production on our commercial and industrial Atmospheric Water Generators
Energy meter testing has certified that each liter of water is being produced for .35 to .40 kilowatt hours of electricity (e.g. at six cents per kilowatt hour the generator is producing one liter of water for 2.1 to 2.4 cents).
With the digital controller we have connected to manage the unit we are able to run the generator at 100% capacity by minor adjustments on the control panel.
Mr. Roland V. Wahlgren, B.Sc., M.A; is on Wataire's Advisory Board and is head of the company's R&D Department.
