JAMAICA, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/24/09 -- Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTCBB: JLWT), a
full-service global provider of integrated logistics services, today
announced that it has completed the successful testing of a US manufactured
specialty chemical conducted by the Company's strategic partner, The Yellow
Seas Fisheries Research Institute (YSFRI) in Qingdao, China.
The chemical, which successfully passed all 22 safety tests mandated by the
laboratory, will be used to treat China's extensive environmental issues in
lakes and sea water as a part of programs that have received billions of
dollars in committed funding from the Chinese government.
The chemical that was successfully tested contains a unique, patented
chelate that produces a higher concentration of hydrogen ions in a broad
range of water conditions. These ions bond (chelate) with the copper ion to
keep it in suspension, preventing precipitation while maintaining
scientifically predictable copper levels in a high concentration of
hydrogen ions. This enables precise control of bacteria and algae growth
without over treatment.
"We are pleased with the test results and the depth of experience and
capabilities our consortium brings to the environmental issues in China,"
reported Paul McCreary, President of Janel's Environmental Project
Logistics Division.
Jim Jannello, CEO of Janel World Trade, Ltd., stated, "We are very proud
that Janel can utilize its core business model and its existing
infrastructure in China to create an opportunity for Janel, the US
manufacturer and the Chinese people to provide a positive environmental
option to all concerned."
