More than $300,000 will be used toward developing a contaminent-removal system for public drinking water systems, according to a North Dakota Department of Commerce news release issued Tuesday.
The department, in conjunction with the Roosevelt Custer Regional Council for Development, has provided a $310,000 grant to Stark County to be used for a loan to Medora Environmental, doing business as SolarBee. SolarBee is working on a new trihalomethane removal system that removes contaminants from public drinking water systems, according to the release.
The first phase of the two-phase project involves a field demonstration at the Elkhorn Reservoir, near Las Vegas. The second phase consists of testing, tooling, marketing and patenting of the new invention, with grant funds used to purchase components to build 25 removal systems.
The project is expected to cost $900,000 and create 10 area jobs over the next two years.
