ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- World Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:WEGY), a company focused on energy conservation technologies and environmental sustainability, announces significant progress in its patent-pending Pure Air Technology. World Energy Solutions' (WES) team has been working closely with Dr. David Mazyck and his colleagues at the University of Florida to develop a working production prototype of an in-home air purification system. This system, which WES has recently purchased the worldwide rights, "sterilizes" the passing of air through a cleansing unit removing practically all bio-organisms and chemical agents. This technology was pioneered as part of research for the space program.
"The Pure Air Technology relies on novel, but less costly ways of removing both biological and chemical agents from the air. Furthermore, Pure Air Technology is more effective than current technologies, and requires less energy," stated Ben Croxton, CEO of World Energy Solutions. "When we purchased the technology we knew efforts to reduce pollution on board the International Space Station would translate perfectly well to revolutionizing air quality in any enclosed space including use in homes, commercial and industrial buildings."
The company's Pure Air Technology was originally developed as part of a NASA-sponsored project to engineer a better way to revitalize air on the International Space Station. WES has since then worked closely with Dr. Mazyck and his team to develop an in-home air purification system.
The novel system will improve the quality of life for millions of asthma- and allergy-sufferers and will also deliver effective protection against bioterrorism by completely clearing the air of all microorganisms and chemical contaminants.
Mazyck and other UF colleagues have authored several papers on their innovation, which have been presented at the annual International Conference on Environmental Systems attended by NASA and other prestigious organizations and companies. Dr. Mazyck and his UF colleagues recently received a Tech Brief Award from NASA headquarters, which is an award reserved for the most innovative technologies. The U.S. Army and the Center for Disease Control have both inquired about the Pure Air Technology.
