CALGARY, July 11, 2011 /CNW/ - Pure Technologies Ltd., ("Pure" or the "Company") (TSX: PUR) announced today that the Company was recently featured in American Water Intelligence, a leading water industry publication.  The featured analysis highlighted the compelling value proposition of Pure's business model in an economic environment where capital budgets are shrinking and agencies are looking to alternative strategies to extend the life of their underground assets through proactive asset management.  The following quote from the article highlights the opportunity for future growth in Pure's business:

"In its role as a provider of inspection services, Pure does not sell a single technology but offers a suite of tools for leak detection and condition sensing; for instance, an acoustic sensing system that detects breaks in wires in prestressed concrete pipes. Services like this not only offer utilities the promise of limiting repairs to where they are most needed; they can also reduce the costs of inspection itself by not requiring pipes to be taken out of service. Given the smaller spends and unique services involved, we may surmise that competitive bidding is less common and municipalities are much less apt to choose their suppliers on cost alone, allowing higher profit margins. In fact, gross profit margins for Pure sit around 60%..... Pure Technologies appears to have a long way to go until market saturation and competition catch up with them."

Pure continues to add to its suite of inspection technologies, most recently through the purchase of the business and assets of Electromechanical Technologies Inc., a technology leader in the field of metallic pipe condition assessment.
