CLEVELAND, May 13, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Solutions Inc. (Pink Sheets:CSLI), the designer of renewable energy tower systems, announces that the Company has shipped an additional 5 unit order to the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Hanford Site. The units will become part of a wireless "canopy" over the center of the 560-square mile site giving cleanup workers access to a wide range of technologies and communications tools.
Critical Solutions' wind and solar-powered portable platforms will wirelessly monitor the single-shell tank farms where no work is taking place. Each remotely operated system is on a trailer-mounted retractable mast, allowing it to be moved anywhere within the tank farm complex. More than a dozen of these units will be deployed. By connecting them to the wireless canopy, real-time monitoring of conditions inside tank farms is possible, eliminating the need for workers to enter the farms on a daily or weekly basis as they once did to perform their routine surveillance rounds.
The Hanford Site is in a remote location in the arid section of eastern Washington State which was established as part of the Manhattan Project, producing plutonium for atomic weapons. In May 1989, the DOE entered into an agreement with the state of Washington and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to clean up Hanford Site waste, including the waste stored in the underground tanks.
