Meetings Indicate Strong Demand for Water Conservation Technology
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Taronis Technologies, Inc. (“Taronis” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MNGA), a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental conservation industry, provided a debriefing on the Company’s participation at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. The Company was invited to attend by the Advanced Science and Innovation Company (“ASIC”), a well-respected technology incubator and accelerator based in Abu Dhabi, with an investment focus on sustainable and renewable technologies in the energy, water and welding verticals.
Taronis was invited to host an exhibition booth within the larger ASIC exhibitions, which served as a beneficial forum for government, regulatory and commercial meetings during the conference. As part of the ASIC exhibition, the Company was also profiled in the World Future Energy Summit conference newsletter, which was distributed to over 38,000 attendees. The Company also held introductory meetings with prospective commercial partners and end users of both metal cutting fuel and water decontamination services that utilize Taronis’ patented technologies.
“The meetings held last week in the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were very encouraging,” commented Scott Mahoney, Chief Executive Officer of Taronis. “We are very grateful for the invitation from ASIC, and hopeful that we can develop positive and lasting relationships in the region as a result of our meetings.”
Mr. Mahoney commented, “Based on the feedback we have received, there is a clear and demonstrated fit between our technology and the region’s need to conserve fresh water at every level of the economy. We believe our gasification technology has the potential to lead to the elimination of acetylene as the primary source of metal cutting fuel in the region today, as our production process uses no water. We also see a clear need for our water decontamination technology, which could significantly impact the water reclamation programs in place across the region.”
Mr. Mahoney continued, “We are exploring a wide range of strategic relationships within the region, as we see the opportunity to scale our operations quickly with the right partners. We plan to provide additional gas samples and conduct multiple on-site demonstrations at the end of February. We are also going to evaluate our ability to place a mobile production unit within the region in 2019, to assess the market and build demand in advance of a permanent investment.”
