Press Release Body = Drinking water treatment experts Panton McLeod Americas is
celebrating after being awarded the coveted NSF Standard 60 certification.

The firm, which specialises in supplying the North American drinking water industry
with cleaning and de-biofouling chemicals, allows the industry to begin using its
five key chemical products.

The Denver based company will be exhibiting at the prestigious AWWA ACE07 conference
and exposition in Toronto to promote its products to the North American drinking
water industry.

The products, PM 33, PM 55, PM 88, PM 33SP and PM 55SP, are designed for the removal
of iron and manganese deposits and bio-fouling from drinking water infrastructure
such as storage tanks and towers. They can also be used where bio-fouling or
hydro-carbon contamination has occurred.

When in insoluble form, these deposits cause a tough black and brown "crud" on the
walls of drinking water structures that is virtually impossible to remove without
damaging the walls.

However, the special chemicals in Panton McLeod Americas' products allow this "crud"
to be washed off instantly without damaging the existing structure.

The chemicals are sprayed onto the structure and then work by converting the iron
and manganese back into their soluble form so they run straight off the walls.

Each PM product has a different potency based on its number, and the beauty of the
chemicals is that they are 100 per cent bio-degradable, so the iron and manganese
can simply be washed away, leaving clean and undamaged surfaces.

John Copeland, vice president of Panton McLeod Americas, said: "We are absolutely
delighted to have received NSF certification for these products.

"The NSF is quite rightly stringent about the substances which are allowed to come
into contact with drinking water and structures. Not only are our products cost
effective, and this certification shows our products are safe as well.

"The fact that the certification has come before the ACE07 event is a huge bonus
because it means we are able to showcase these products and the Panton McLeod
Americas name to all the key players in the North American drinking water industry."

Panton McLeod Americas will be exhibiting at booth 1214 at the NWWA ACE07 event
June24-27.

Jim Copeland will be on hand to highlight the benefits of Panton McLeod Americas'
products as well as company President, Iain Weir, who will be travelling from the
firm's head office in Scotland along with the company\'s founder and chairman, Jim
Panton.
