"With this financing, EOS is positioned to rapidly expand operations beyond our current Boston and Baltimore manufacturing facilities to serve our growing customer base nationwide and around the globe," said Eric Stoermer, President and Chief Executive Officer of EOS. "In addition, these funds will enable us to undertake the research and technical development required to engineer continuing improvements in our denitrification products and to develop new products, including products potentially derived from waste materials."

"Driven by increasingly stringent regulatory limits on the amount of nitrogen allowed into the environment, wastewater treatment facilities are seeking a safe and reliable upgrade for enhanced nitrogen removal," said Jeff Salinger, Managing Partner with Stuart Mill Venture Partners.

We look forward to being a part of EOS' success as the company builds its national and international production and distribution network."
