Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Subsidiary Millennium Electric T.O.U. Limited Completes the Installation of the First Solar Powered Water Distillation System as Part of the European Commission R&D Project in Heraklion Greece
Greek Project Valued in the Amount of Euro 413,000 (Circa US $500,000)
HERZLIAH, ISRAEL - MARKET WIRE - 08/03/04
Universal Communication Systems, Inc. (OTC BB: UCSY) subsidiary Millennium Electric T.O.U. Ltd announced today that the company has completed the first Solar Powered water distillation system and associated projects using special new technology devices for inexpensive Solar Powered Water distillation in Greece. The system is almost 70 sq. m in size including the PV Solar collectors and distillation device. It is capable of making over 10,000 litters of pure water daily out of wastewater.
This PV Solar Powered water distillation project, approved by the commission for the European Community some 18 months ago, called for a novel Solar Water distillation device -- as has been developed by Millennium Electric. The system can distill up to 10,000 liter per day of any waste/sea water. At the Heraklion site, the unique device distills olive oil mill wastewater that is generated and accumulated in large pools all over the Greece Island.
Millennium is a part of a Consortium Agreement by the Commission for the European Community, (
http://europa.eu.int) operating in the framework of the Cooperative Research Program, for ongoing development within the framework of the FP5 European Commission R&D project.
The Greek project, was valued in a range of euro 413,000, ($500,000) also includes several other European participants. Millennium Electric holder of several International Patents, Technology and unique Applications is in charge of the solar powered distillation device and led the project. Millennium will receive EU euro 60,000 (circa US $74,000) as its share of the project.
Ami Elazari, President of Millennium Electric, stated: "The objective of this project is to further develop our world-class Solar (Power) Technology, and move in the direction of the solar industry to continue to develop a new generation of advanced solar energy applications. The system has been successfully installed in Greece and is now working successfully. This new project by the European Commission will help move this technology into the next phase, and bring in the next generation of 'Green Energy' with the combining of Solar Energy & Water Treatment Technology that is also the core business of Air Water / UCSY."
