"From 2010 to 2015, China is expected to invest 3,100 billion RMB (US $475 billion) in pollution prevention and treatment," said ThermoEnergy CEO, Cary Bullock. "That's 1.5% of China's GDP, and a 15% annual growth rate of the Chinese environmental industry. Currently, nearly 20% of the length of China's monitored rivers and lakes have pollution problems that the Chinese government is attempting to address. We believe ThermoEnergy's CAST® technology offers some of the world's most advanced solutions for clean, sustainable wastewater, process chemistry, and nutrient recovery, and we expect to be a top competitor in China's burgeoning wastewater treatment industry."

The China International Environmental Protection Exhibition & Conference (CIEPEC), sponsored by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, P.R.C. (MEP) and organized by the China Association of Environmental Protection Industry (CAEPI), has emerged as the most prestigious environmental show in China as well as a world-famous event for environmental technologies, products and services. ThermoEnergy will exhibit at booth number 2118 in the U.S. Pavilion.
