Modular Water Systems And Klir Partner For Water On Demand Pilot Program

Clearwater, FL (BUSINESS WIRE) - OriginClear Inc. (OTC Other: OCLN), the Clean Water Innovation Hub™, announced today the selection of Klir, Inc. (www.klir.com) to support its planned Water On Demand pilot program focusing on mobile home parks (MHP) in the Greater Central Texas Region.

"As we developed Water On Demand™, we recognized a complete, end-to-end customer and site management network was essential,” said Riggs Eckelberry, OriginClear CEO. “We have determined that Klir is the right partner to help us execute our strategy. We are excited to launch our first private utility networks pilot using the Klir operating system.”

Recently, OriginClear announced that Modular Water Systems (MWS), a division of OriginClear’s subsidiary Water On Demand which markets highly-standardized wastewater systems, agreed to collaborate with water system provider Enviromaintenance on MHP sales, upgrading them to full on-site wastewater treatment systems – essentially a “micro-utility in every MHP.” Klir’s enterprise software is expected to enable the operation of such micro-utilities.

"Klir is proud to be selected as a trusted partner of OriginClear in revolutionizing water management through our unified operating system,” said David Lynch, CEO of Klir. “Our collaboration marks a significant stride towards empowering businesses to take charge of their water treatment needs, ultimately fostering better water quality and sustainability. We are committed to supporting OriginClear's Water On Demand pilot program and look forward to delivering seamless, efficient solutions for managing water resources at the local level."

MWS manufactures a series of robust and durable wastewater treatment systems and has commercialized highly-standardized systems for MHPs, incorporating either IFAS (Integrated Film Activated Sludge) or MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor) treatment capabilities.

“We’re very excited that Klir has agreed to join in on our series of planned MWS systems working closely with Enviromaintenance,” said Daniel M. Early, PE, President of Modular Water Systems. “Recent approval by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) of our EveraTREAT™ 5 thousand gallon/day IFAS system (EVT 5K-IFAS) will now allow Modular Water Systems to dramatically increase its treatment systems sales in Texas, and we anticipate that Klir will be a key building block.”

The terms of the Klir agreement call for payments based on successfully commissioning phases of the MHP pilot.

In 2023, OriginClear announced that it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to acquire an established international SaaS (Software as a Service) developer. When it sourced Klir, the Company determined such an acquisition was no longer a priority and the MOU was terminated.
