ECOVATION WINS INC. 500 AWARD FOR RAPID GROWTH

Wastewater treatment company recognized as one of America’s fastest growing private companies

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – September 11, 2007 – Ecovation, a developer of value-driven wastewater treatment and renewable energy solutions, has been recognized by Inc. magazine in its annual Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States. Ecovation was one of only five environmental services companies on the list. The Inc. 500 list acknowledges the most innovative and dynamic companies in the nation, and Ecovation was ranked #366 after experiencing 770% growth over the last three years.

Ecovation designs, builds and operates wastewater management systems for clients in a variety of industries. Employing patented MFT, Krofta and other licensed technologies, Ecovation’s wastewater treatment solutions offer superior performance, while requiring a much smaller footprint. Many of Ecovation’s systems produce renewable biogas that can assist in offsetting energy consumption at clients’ facilities.

“In a rapidly evolving industry, Ecovation works hard to provide our clients with efficient and environmentally sound solutions,” said Diane C. Creel, Chairman and CEO of Ecovation. “This recognition is a testament to our employees and their efforts, and the confidence our clients place in our capabilities.”

The Inc. 500 list is drawn from elite performers among U.S.-based., privately held companies. In past years, this distinguished list has included world-class companies such as Microsoft, Timberland and Oracle before they became industry powerhouses.

“If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. “These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine's tribute to American ingenuity and ambition.”
