N-Viro International has announced its subsidiary, Florida N-Viro, has reached a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Toho Water Authority (TWA), located in Osceola County, Florida.
The MOU is a platform for N-Viro to negotiate a definitive agreement with TWA for the permitting and construction of a biosolids processing facility within central Florida. The anticipated arrangement would provide biosolids treatment for TWA and surrounding municipalities.
The proposed facility is anticipated to utilize N-Viro's patented N-Viro Fuel process which converts biosolids into alternative renewable energy that qualifies within Florida's renewable energy portfolio.
The MOU calls for N-Viro and TWA to work jointly to identify a suitable location as well as to negotiate all business terms for a long-term agreement. N-Viro anticipates that an agreement can be reached to begin permitting and construction for a desired 2009 or 2010 completion.
It is expected that the proposed facility, once constructed, would receive and process biosolids utilizing N-Viro's patented technology to achieve Class AA standards as set forth by Florida Regulation 62-640. Class AA standard products also satisfy U.S. EPA 503 Regulations for the highest level of treatment.
Mr. Timothy Kasmoch, CEO and President of N-Viro International had these comments: "We are excited to have an opportunity with such potential within central Florida.
"It has always been our intention to grow our Florida operations and construct new facilities designed to produce our renewable biomass fuel. Coupled with our existing Volusia County facility, we expect to be well-positioned to serve the Florida biosolids market.
"We look forward to working with TWA on this exciting project and the opportunity to further our commitment toward the environment. The construction of this facility would provide TWA and other area communities, a long-term sustainable beneficial reuse of these waste materials."
Mr. Kasmoch concluded: "The Company and its management believe our processes are the best solution for our environment as all eyes are focused on sustainable conservation of natural resources."
