  Business, China, Oregon No Comments

  PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Bio-Reaction Industries has just
  announced the signing of a license agreement with Beijing Victex Environmental
  Science and Technology Development Company, LTD to sell their patented air
  pollution control systems throughout China.

  The first two air pollution control systems for VOC (Volatile Organic
  Compounds) and odor control are currently under construction in northeastern
  China in the area of Daqing, a large oil producer and manufacturer of other
  products associated with oil recovery, refineries, chemical by-products
  production including chemical fertilizers and chemical fibers. The two
  companies also have several other projects in development.

  Mr. Shao Jun Chen, the president of Beijing Victex, sought a partnership
  with a company that offered an environmentally sound solution to address the
  air pollution issues that face China. “We understand that controlling
  pollution without increasing production of Greenhouse Gases is very important
  for our country. We are pleased to work with Bio-Reaction Industries to bring
  their systems to China,” he commented, adding, “and the industrial area around
  Daqing was the logical place for the first installations.”

  Mr. Miansheng Wang, Managing Director of the China-US Center for
  Sustainable Development based in Portland, Oregon, was involved in
  establishing the partnership between the two businesses. The installation of
  these first two systems will serve as excellent demonstration projects and
  will validate the value of the Bio-Reaction bio-filter design.

  “These business relationships are an important part of our global strategy
  for delivering our unique, patented technology across the globe with Victex
  covering China, EverStar Corporation in Taiwan and Lenzing Tecknik for the EU.
  We are changing the way companies and governments can deal with air pollution
  emissions and greenhouse gas issues,” states Karl Mundorff, President and CEO
  of Bio-Reaction Industries.

  region. “Literacy is the foundation of a successful future, and Verizon is
