Has anyone ever heard of this company or process?  Can anyone vouch for it?
Any feedback would be useful.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 1996--ELI ECO LOGIC
INC. (TSE: ELI ELI.RT CANADIAN DEALING NETWORK:  ELII.WT.A) ELI
Eco Logic Inc. ("ECO LOGIC"), in conjunction with their Australian
joint venture partner, Environmental Solutions International Ltd.

("ESI"), announced today the award of a contract for the treatment
and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl waste (PCB) for a public
utility commission. The value of the contract is in excess of
A$2 million.

The PCB waste destruction will be carried out at the
Kwinana site in Western Australia.  An SE25 ELI DESTRUCTOR and
Sequencing Batch Vaporizor (SBV), utilising the ECO LOGIC Process
(gas phase hydrogen reduction) will be used to treat liquid PCB
and other PCB-contaminated equipment to produce "PCB free"
products.

The ECO LOGIC Process can remediate material contaminated
with organic compounds (for example, PCBs, dioxins, furans,
pentachlorophenol, pesticides, halogenated solvents, and petroleum
derivatives) including PCB-contaminated electrical equipment,
liquids, soils and solids.  As the process is not an incineration
process, there is no possibility of dioxin or furan formation.

ESI Managing Director Denis Glennon commented: "There are
an estimated 5,000 tonnes of PCB contaminated electrical equipment
in the eastern states, and an unknown quantity of PCB contaminated
soils and concrete."  Dr. Douglas Hallett, President and CEO of
ECO LOGIC stated: "At current Australian market prices the
treatment of this quantity of electrical equipment is worth over
A$22.5 million."

ECO LOGIC has developed and currently operates the ECO
LOGIC Process at sites in Australia and Canada. The ECO LOGIC
Process is a patented, mobile technology which can destroy organic
wastes through gas-phase chemical reduction. The Process can
separate toxic chemicals from soils, metals and other minerals,
changing them into useful products. A closed-loop process, it
eliminates the potential for any uncontrolled emissions often
found with incinerators. The Process' mobility, cost and
environmental acceptance make it a preferred method for
destruction of high-strength organic waste.
