Veridium to Showcase New Recycling Technologies at International Poultry Expo.

NEW YORK -- Veridium Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: VRDM) today announced its plans to showcase its new Dissolved Air Flotation ("DAF") sludge recycling and Tornado Generator(TM) technologies at the 2006 International Poultry Expo this week in Atlanta, Georgia.

Veridium's new business model is based on the engineering and marketing of green innovations and processes that enhance manufacturing efficiencies, improve resource utilization and minimize waste.

Veridium intends to provide targeted clients with turn-key processing systems based on Veridium's technologies for no up-front cost in return for fixed annuitized charges based on a percentage of the client's ongoing savings. Veridium will also joint venture with qualified pre-revenue and early stage projects where Veridium will provide its technologies and ongoing engineering, operational, and management services in return for substantial profit participation.

While the applications for Veridium's technologies extend across many industries, Veridium's first target is livestock and poultry processing facilities. Veridium's proprietary DAF sludge processing and Tornado Generator(TM) technologies can quickly enable significant improvements in process efficiencies for these facilities.

David Winsness, president and chief operational officer of Veridium's new technology division, said that "By reducing inefficiencies for livestock and poultry processing facilities, we are helping our clients to reduce their consumption of virgin natural resources and their waste disposal expenses, as well as the impact on the environment of that disposal. We are excited to offer our technologies and process enhancements to livestock and poultry processing facilities and we look forward to presenting our capabilities at the International Poultry Expo."

Dissolved Air Flotation Sludge Recycling

Veridium's proprietary DAF sludge processing technology that effectively reduces the volume of DAF sludge by 80% while recovering the majority of the animal fats contained in the waste of livestock and poultry processing facilities. Poultry processing facilities alone generate an estimated 500 million gallons per year of this sludge. Our technology enables livestock and poultry processing facilities to dramatically reduce the volume of sludge they are shipping and disposing. This translates to reduced costs and increased profitability for livestock and poultry processing facilities.

Tornado Generator(TM)

Veridium's Tornado Generator(TM) accelerates compressed air to supersonic speeds to instantly grind, flash desiccate and atomize solid and liquid wastes and other materials into micron sized powders. The Tornado Generator(TM) is robust and cost-efficient and is capable of direct implementation in many industrial processes. The technology is currently installed at Protein Solutions, LLC, located in Joplin, Missouri, where the technology effectively processes and dehydrates poultry products into highly nutritional and shelf stable products. This system operates 24 hours per day, 5 days per week to produce high quality animal fats, chicken broth and dehydrated poultry proteins, and reduces waste and increases profit.
