PHBT is a publicly held company specializing in the manufacturing, design and sale of its unique residential, commercial and hospital point-of-use potable potable /pot·a·ble/ (po´tah-b'l) fit to drink.

The PHBT point-of-entry water treatment systems provide another layer of protection for individual homes, businesses and healthcare facilities in the event that municipal systems become compromised with chlorine-resistant etiological etiological

Researchers have long recognized the disinfection capability of iodine for over 170 years (Environmental Health Techniques in Rural Areas, Technische Universitat Hambur-Harburg, Germany, 1985 and W. Gottardi, University of Innsbruck It is currently the largest education facility in the Austrian Bundesland of Tirol and third largest in Austria according to student population, behind Vienna University and Graz University. , 1999). Historically, the concern has been to deliver the iodine in a manner that does not present a residual in treated potable water supplies. The PHBT technology provides a new water treatment option based on a system designed with both pre-and post-absolute carbon filtration used in combination with direct crystal iodine contact for disinfection.

Sector

Market segments include residences, retail dispensing, educational facilities, commercial, agriculture, municipal facilitates, military bases, and cruise ships. All will need to be profiled and tested in order to confirm the served market potential. The company PHBT believes that it will be able to compete versus the individual technologies of UV light, granular activated carbon filtration membrane/hollow fiber media, ion exchange resins, silver, chlorine and diatomaceous earth diatomaceous earth: see diatom.

Product and Revenues

At least 12% of United States households treat their drinking water in some fashion and industry analysts expect this number to increase to 40% by the year 2010. In an earlier market assessment, health officials estimate that 900,000 people each year become infected with waterborne disease and the General Accounting Office estimates that 66% of Safe Drinking Water Act The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) is a United States federal law passed by the U.S. Congress on December 16, 1974. It is the main federal law that ensures safe drinking water for Americans.  violations are not reported. These findings, along with the evolution of chlorine-resistant organisms, suggest that the demand for high purity water by end users will continue to increase.

Conclusion

There are major players in the residential water treatment business including Chlorox (Brita), Proctor & Gamble (PUR) and Vivendi. The Brita and PUR technologies are mainly designed on porous iodine exchange carbon block filter to reduce microbial contamination of drinking water. Carbon Block filter designs are limited and fail to take into account the wide array of microorganism microorganism /mi·cro·or·gan·ism/ (-or´gah-nizm) a microscopic organism; those of medical interest include bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.  diameter depending on their lifecycle. None have disinfection capability and most have limited filtration capacities whereas PHBT technology combines the use of absolute micron carbon pre and post filters with controlled release USP USP - unique sales point  iodine to treat waterborne Pathogens and remove heavy metals and objectionable biomass.

Finally Pure H20 Biotechnologies (PHBT) could become a major competitor capitalizing on the omnipresent need for improved point-of - entry water treatment systems.
