Fuel Tech to Showcase DGI® Dissolved Gas Infusion Technology at Aquaculture 2025 in New Orleans

WARRENVILLE, Ill., Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:FTEK), a technology company using advanced engineering processes to provide emissions control systems and water treatment technologies in utility and industrial applications, today announced that it will exhibit its DGI^® Dissolved Gas Infusion technology at Aquaculture 2025 being held in New Orleans March 6-10, 2025. Fuel Tech representatives will be at Booth 334.

Held every three years and known as the Triennial, the event is the largest aquaculture conference and tradeshow in the world with nearly 4,000 attendees from over 90 countries. This year's conference combines the annual meetings of, among others, the National Shellfisheries Association, Fish Culture Section of the American Fisheries Society, World Aquaculture Society, and the National Aquaculture Association.

"The Triennial is one of the industry's premier events and is attended by some the largest and most widely respected aquaculture companies in the world," said Vince Arnone, President and CEO of Fuel Tech. "We are excited to showcase the benefits of DGI^® to the global aquaculture community."

Using patented technology to transfer dissolved oxygen or carbon dioxide, DGI can work as a rapid response option or to augment underperforming legacy technologies. DGI combines best-on-the-market transfer efficiency and zoned delivery to provide precise control accuracy resulting in an energy efficient and cost-effective water and wastewater treatment system solution for multiple end markets.

With respect to aquaculture, Fuel Tech's DGI has been:

• successfully utilized in an Aquaculture setting suggesting that its use to reliably dose and maintain dissolved oxygen levels can dramatically increase total production compared with traditional aeration methods, while conveying likely health benefits (see white paper at www.dissolvedgasinfusion.com); and  
• selected by a State government agency for an extended demonstration at a fish hatchery in the Western U.S. The demonstration is expected to commence late in the first quarter of 2025 to coincide with the hatchery's next growth cycle, and is expected to last up to 12 months.

DGI is applicable to a wide range of applications, including aquaculture, municipal and industrial wastewater, food and beverage, pulp and paper, power generation, petrochemical, and landfill leachate.
