Humes Licenses Imbrium's Innovative Jellyfish® Filter Membrane Technology for Stormwater Treatment

TORONTO, March 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Imbrium^TM International, LTD. and Humes Water Solutions announced today an expansion of their strategic business relationship, by Humes becoming a licensee of Imbrium's Jellyfish^® Filter. Humes, a longstanding licensee of Imbrium's Stormceptor^® oil and sediment separator technology (HumeCeptor^®), has expanded its product offering to include the innovative Jellyfish^® Filter. The agreement grants Humes the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Imbrium's Jellyfish technology for stormwater treatment throughout Australia.

"This is a natural fit for both organizations. We are excited to expand our relationship with Humes Water Solutions and technology offering," said Scott Perry, Managing Director of Imbrium. Imbrium recently received Jellyfish verification from NJCAT (New Jersey Center for Advanced Technology), validating the superior field tested performance and technology advantages in comparison to other stormwater filtration products. "The Jellyfish Filter has proven to remove more than 85% TSS, 60% Total Phosphorus, 50% Total Nitrogen, high levels of metals and sediment particles as small as 2 microns. This is a compact technology, which uses a high treatment flow-rate membrane to capture a significant pollutant load, with low cost maintenance requirements. The Jellyfish Filter is simply the best value stormwater treatment filter on the market", stated Joel Garbon, Product Manager for Imbrium.

"The Jellyfish filtration system is a natural extension of our portfolio of stormwater treatment solutions," said Dr. Darren Drapper, National Water Solutions Manager with Humes.  "With increasing regulations and our focus on sustainable practices, the Jellyfish Filter provides the next level of stormwater quality treatment and another tool to create Water-Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) solutions within our portfolio of treatment, detention, infiltration, harvesting and re-use technologies."

Imbrium and Humes Water Solutions are dedicated to delivering innovative and sustainable technologies as proven environmental solutions to protect water resources.
