SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental
Tectonics Corporation (NYSE ALTERNEXT LLC: ETC) ("ETC" or the
"Company") has been utilizing its extensive engineering skill to
harness new and unique capabilities. One such innovation provides a
unique solution to a growing problem. This involves the fabrication
and installation of bulk size sterilizers in "Sections." Research
facilities, primarily located in old, ivy covered university
buildings, as well as older Government facilities like the NIH
(National Institutes of Health) face serious problems when
attempting to replace large, bulk size sterilizers installed many
years ago. These locations are simply no longer accessible without
costly demolition of existing walls, which is expensive and
disruptive to the over all operation of the facility. ETC has
engineered the unique capability of manufacturing, delivering, and
installing these large size sterilizers in modular segments, or
"Sections." After taking careful measurements of the area and
proposed route, these sections, either 2 or 3 depending on the
situation, are carefully navigated through the existing facility.
The sections travel through narrow corridors and doorways, into
old, narrow elevators, and around corners to the final destination.
The sections are then rigged into the existing footprint and welded
together (no flanges or gaskets) to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) Code on site. Under ETC's unique approach, the
customer's old bulk autoclave is replaced without knocking down
facility walls, saving them time and money. One of ETC's important
customer contacts, Lindsay Barnes, a Director of Research for Johns
Hopkins University, recently commented on the sectional units that
ETC provided to the University. "I was skeptical at first, but as I
personally watched the expertise of the ETC's manufacturing staff
including their welders, my concerns immediately subsided. After
operating this unit for four years, there was absolutely no
hesitation when I decided to purchase a second unit for another
renovation with similar spatial constraints." John Bucar, Senior
Technical Specialist at ETC for over 30 yrs, stated, "By utilizing
our unique capabilities, ETC now solves problems and provides
solutions that are simply not available from other sterilizer
manufacturers." Details on ETC's unique "Sectional" chamber option
are available at http://www.etcsterilzation.com/. ETC designs,
develops, installs and maintains aircrew training systems
(aeromedical, tactical combat and general), disaster management
training systems and services, entertainment products, sterilizers
(steam and gas), environmental testing products, hyperbaric
chambers and related products for domestic and international
customers. This press release includes forward-looking statements
