Report of Twelve-Month Qualification Program
Hydroglobe Inc. completed six months of a twelve month
qualification program at the East Amwell Township Elementary School in
Ringoes, NJ to remove arsenic from the drinking water. Using the novel
adsorbent MetSorb, developed and manufactured by Hydroglobe,

removed to below 2 parts per billion (ppb). This is significantly below
current New Jersey regulations of 10ppb and future 5ppb. Download the case study or the news release*.
March 2004 - The Dow Chemical Company Licenses Patent-Pending Technology from Hydroglobe Inc.
The Dow Chemical Company has licensed a patent-pending
technology from HydroGlobe that removes arsenic III and V from drinking
water. Developed by Stevens Institute of Technology, Dow will use the

removal of arsenic and heavy metals from drinking water. The media will
increase the efficiency of point of use and point of entry water
treatment
applications, and will provide value to municipalities who need a safe,
cost-effective way to meet the new EPA arsenic standard of 10 ppb that
takes
effect in 2006.
