KINGWOOD, TX -- Under a new contract with American Pacific  
Corporation, Envirogen Technologies will provide a large-scale  
fluidized bed bioreactor (FBR) system for the biodegradation of  
perchlorate and other constituents from groundwater in the area of a  
former manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada.

The system will have the capacity to treat 1.2 million gallons per  
day (MGD) and will replace a smaller biological-based system in  
operation since 2006.

The system will utilize Envirogen's patented FBR technology in a  
custom configuration to reduce influent concentrations of perchlorate  
to non-detectable levels prior to surface discharge. Currently in the  
design phase, the new treatment system is scheduled for start-up in  
December 2011.
