Taronis Successfully Delivers Final USDA Presentation

Critical Step in Water Technology CommercializationPHOENIX, AZ, Feb. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Taronis Technologies, Inc., (“Taronis” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: TRNX), a sustainability technologies company with patented water decontamination and conservation applications, today announced that it successfully delivered its final technical briefing to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) on February 12, 2020. The Company recently completed an 18-month technical validation of its water decontamination technology, which was funded in part by a USDA grant for the sterilization of animal waste. The grant funded an 18-month study conducted at a large-scale dairy operation in central Florida that was successfully completed in September of 2019.As part of the presentation, the Company delivered its final report on the highly successful independent validation of the efficacy of using a Venturi plasma arc sterilization unit to eradicate pathogens, break down virus-based contaminants and remove harmful metals from animal waste slurries.In addition, the Company presented a proposed new opportunity for the USDA to fund a commercial pilot project to address the hog waste produced, specifically in North Carolina which is the third largest hog producing market in the United States today. Taronis also proposed the incorporation of multiple leading universities in the region as part of the project. The objective would be for the universities to independently validate the ability to safely recover and reuse animal waste waters for hydroponic applications and use animal waste solids for crop fertilization.Lastly, Taronis sought guidance from the USDA on the process of becoming an approved vendor on the USDA best practices list. Vendors on this list are pre-approved for federal subsidized sales of equipment into the US agricultural industry. This would enable Taronis to market its equipment to the industry at a potentially dramatically reduced cost to the end user clientele.“The successful conclusion of our USDA project culminated with a highly productive debrief with the USDA in Washington, D.C.,’” commented Scott Mahoney, CEO of Taronis. “We now have further clarity on the next steps we can explore in order to benefit from the USDA as a potential added resource as we look to formalize a commercial joint venture to support the agricultural waste generated by the hog industry in North Carolina.”About Taronis Technologies, Inc.Taronis Technologies, Inc.
