EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave" or "the Company")
today announced the launch of quantaREV(TM), the Company's fifth Radiant Energy
Vacuum ("REV") dehydration technology platform, designed to meet the
requirements of food and chemical production companies for high-volume
continuous, low-temperature dehydration of solids, liquids, granular or
encapsulated products. quantaREV(TM) introduces a continuous belt design within
a controlled vacuum-microwave environment, allowing the potential for
dehydration of up to several tonnes of material per hour, a significant
innovation in EnWave's REV dehydration technology. 


"While all of our REV technologies are designed to increase the speed of
dehydration, improve the quality of the final product and reduce costs, we
believe quantaREV(TM) will provide a compelling solution for those industrial
users requiring high through-put drying of heat-sensitive materials such as
nutrient-rich foods or foods where colour, flavour or texture could be
improved," said Dr. Tim Durance, EnWave's Chairman and Co-CEO. "If, as we
believe, we can achieve tonnes per hour in REV drying capacity with
quantaREV(TM), it will open many new highly attractive markets for our
technology. It is also of interest to several companies with which we are
currently working. High volume REV technology may compete successfully with
other large-capacity drying technologies, or be used as a new technology to
deliver new or improved food and chemical products to the market."


"Our growing list of multi-national collaborations is an indication of how
exceptionally well positioned we are to bring our proprietary industrial
dehydration technology to market," said John McNicol, EnWave's President and
Co-CEO. "We know that there is a global need for high-volume dehydration and,
with the addition of quantaREV(TM), we now have platforms that may be used to
compete with all three major forms of commercial dehydration: freeze drying,
spray drying and air drying." 


EnWave recently completed tests on a prototype of this technology in its
engineering facilities in Delta, B.C., and has filed a patent to protect this
innovation. The Company is now constructing a larger, pilot-scale version of
quantaREV(TM) for installation in its pilot plant, and expects the unit to be
available for paid customer trials in the first quarter of 2011. 


EnWave's new quantaREV(TM) dehydration technology uses a continuous belt design
in a vacuum-microwave environment in order to accommodate a wide range of input
materials. quantaREV(TM)will complement EnWave's current suite of dehydration
technologies which include nutraREV(TM), a commercial technology used for drying
discrete food pieces in a tumbling vacuum-microwave environment, and
powderREV(TM), an accelerated freeze drying process currently being tested as a
means for bulk drying of biomaterials such as probiotics and enzymes. The
Company also has two other prototype dehydration technologies, bioREV(TM) and
freezeREV(TM), both of which are designed to dry biomaterials in vials such as
vaccines and other biopharmaceuticals, scientific reagents, and medical
diagnostic materials.


About EnWave 

Using proprietary technologies developed in conjunction with the University of
British Columbia, EnWave is commercializing a new method for dehydrating food
and biological materials using Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV") technology under
its nutraREV(TM), powderREV(TM), quantaREV(TM), bioREV(TM) and freezeREV(TM)
brands. REV technology combines microwave energy transfer under vacuum to
dehydrate and alter structures and drive chemical reactions, thereby creating
unique product characteristics for both food products and medical applications
that include fruit, vegetables, probiotics, enzymes, proteins, food cultures,
vaccines and antibodies. More information about EnWave is available at:
