Janel World Trade to Play Key Role in Supplying China with Specialty Chemicals for Environmental Cleanup Projects

Tue Sep 30, 8:31 AM

JAMAICA, N.Y., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: JLWT.OB) (http://www.JanelGroup.net) today announced that it has made physical arrangements and signed an agreement for The Yellow Seas Fisheries Research Institute (YSFRI) in Qingdao, China, to certify a specialty chemical that is manufactured in the United States.

The specialty chemical was uniquely developed for use in the elimination of algae in China's lakes and sea waters, which has been the focus of countless news articles in recent months. The algae problem in China has received billions of dollars in committed funding from the Chinese government. The chemical contains a unique, patented chelate that produces a higher concentration of hydrogen ions across a broad range of water conditions. These ions bond (chelate) the copper ion to keep it in suspension, thereby preventing precipitation while maintaining scientifically predictable copper levels in a high concentration of hydrogen ions. This provides precise control of bacteria and algae growth without overtreatment.

"While the certification process is underway, Janel personnel are working to finalize the location and technical requirements for an actual lake test to complete the credentials that will be presented to local and Central Government officials for a multitude of environmental cleanup opportunities," noted James Jannello, Chief Executive Officer of Janel World Trade, Ltd. "We are proud that Janel can utilize its core business model and its infrastructure in China to create an opportunity for the Company, the U.S. manufacturer, and the Chinese people by providing a positive environmental option for all concerned."
