| SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental
Tectonics Corporation's (Amex: ETC) Sterilization Division today announced it
has been awarded a contract from a leading New York City University to
supply a specially constructed cage & rack steam autoclave, as part of a major
facility renovation project. Location of the autoclave on the fifth floor and
access through the facility presented a number of challenges to be resolved by
all potential suppliers. ETC went on site to evaluate the facility and worked
closely with the University Engineering staff to determine the best solution.
ETC was able to provide the largest size autoclave that could be moved through
the facility and still meet the weight limitations of the freight elevator,
the only means of access to the site. ETC took on the challenge and was selected because of its ability and willingness to provide an equipment solution to a facility problem. The cross sectional chamber size and length were optimized and will provide the client with the most efficient use of the facility space. Mike Allen, V. P. of Biomedical Systems and Sterilizer Group, commented, "We believe our ability and willingness to provide cost effective, innovative solutions that reduce the impact of expensive and disruptive facility renovations is a testimony to ETC's commitment to our customers. Our technical staff is constantly searching for solutions to problems that others would simply not address. This, and other innovations are part of our continuing initiative to expand ETC's presence in the global pharmaceutical, life sciences and medical device markets." ETC also designs, develops, installs and maintains steam and ethylene oxide gas sterilization systems, environmental testing and simulation systems, aircrew training systems, hypobaric (altitude training) chambers, deep-diving and clinical hyperbaric medicine systems, public entertainment systems and related products for domestic and international customers.
