Ridgeline Opens Two Additional GreenFill Facilities
GreenFill Soil Remediation Facilities Commissioned in Saskatchewan and Alberta
Municipal Agreements to Treat and Reuse Contaminated Soils in Western Canada
CALGARY, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Ridgeline Energy Services Inc. (TSX-V: RLE) ("Ridgeline") announces that it has commissioned two additional GreenFill Treatment Facilities in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and Redcliff, Alberta. Ridgeline GreenFill is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ridgeline Energy Services. GreenFill Treatment Sites are approved by Alberta Environment and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for the management, treatment and reuse of oilfield waste.
The new facilities will be used to categorize, treat and reuse impacted soils for landfill cover and other uses. Ridgeline's proprietary technology utilizes biological, mechanical and chemical means to safely break down hydrocarbons into CO2 and water, enabling once contaminated soil to be reused in landfill operations or other applications.
The new facility in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan is the first such facility approved by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. The other facility is in Redcliff, Alberta and makes three in total dispersed throughout the province. These sites are conveniently located for oil and gas producers, thereby reducing the trucking of waste and lowering transportation costs.
Tony Ker, CEO of Ridgeline Energy Services, commented, "Ridgeline Environment has been providing environmental services to oil and gas industry Client's for over a decade. The GreenFill Treatment Sites offer our clients an option for their contaminated soil disposal needs. GreenFill provides oil and gas producers with an alternative to conventional methods. Traditionally contaminated materials are deposited at landfills where they retain the liability associated with the soils. By taking our client's hydrocarbon contaminated soil to our GreenFill facilities, we manage their liability of that impacted material. Our technology is beneficial for the environment as we treat the soil for reuse as opposed to storing the contamination indefinitely in oilfield landfill sites."
"Ridgeline Greenfill Inc. was profitable in our fiscal 2011 year, its first year of commercial operation. We expect these sites will provide a consistent and growing source of revenue as further sites are constructed. Each facility will be capable of generating up to $1,200,000 in revenue per year. "
