H2O INNOVATION: PROFESSIONAL WATER TECHNOLOGIES INTRODUCES NEW SCALING PREDICTION SOFTWARE AND EXPANDS SALES FORCE

H2O Innovation Inc. is providing an update on the activities of its specialty chemicals business sector known as Professional Water Technologies (PWT). PWT, a specialist in membrane filtration chemicals and membrane forensics services, is proud to present today its updated proprietary scaling prediction software, ProDose XPRT, and announces the addition of a new regional sales manager and a new distributor in the Philippines.

Improved scaling prediction software

The new version of PWT's proprietary scaling prediction software, ProDose XPRT, to be made available next month, is armed with new calculation algorithms based on the latest U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) speciation and saturation-index calculations, making it more precise and therefore more reliable. In addition to the use of new algorithms, several new functionalities will be introduced. Users can now create cases to study multiple operating conditions and directly enter concentrate analyses, leading to the optimal selection of PWT products and dosages. The reports generated by the scaling prediction software have also been improved for content and readability. "We are excited to release ProDose XPRT, which has received a fresh new interface allowing for a more efficient and refined user experience. Important improvements were made, in particular to our saturation modelling, making ProDose XPRT an essential tool for system operational design. We've also added new features which make the arduous task of creating projections and calculating dosages that much easier," mentioned Ryan Furukawa, director, specialty chemicals, at PWT.

Available upon request only, ProDose XPRT was developed for distributors, operators and engineers to help them better advise, operate and design water treatment systems. The new ProDose XPRT will facilitate work and provide reliable information benefiting users of PWT specialty chemicals.

Regional sales manager for Calgary

The PWT commercial team continues to grow with the addition of a new regional sales manager. Mazen El-Labban's commercial and technical knowledge in the mining and oil and gas industries will benefit PWT as it grows within those industrial segments. Furthermore, his contacts and working knowledge of the Middle East will stimulate the company's presence in this region as well.

Prior to joining PWT, Mr. El-Labban worked as a sales manager for a company offering water and waste water solutions. His duties included identifying and developing new market opportunities, delivering sustainable sales growth and managing the complete bid-sale cycle of municipal projects; all experiences that will help him in his new role at PWT. Mr. El-Labban will be based in Calgary, Alta. He can be reached by e-mail at mazen.ellabban@pwtchemicals.com or by phone at 1-403-462-2062.
