STUART, FL, Jul 20, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
ESPH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ESPH), a diversified water
engineering and services company, announces today that the
Corporation Commission of Oklahoma approved a permit application by
Newfield Exploration Mid-Continent, Inc. to build and operate a water
recycling plant utilizing the Ecosphere Ozonix Water Treatment System
for two years. The permit will allow Newfield to process frac
flowback water into freshwater and brine utilizing Ecosphere's Ozonix
System through its subsidiary, Ecosphere Energy Services.

Ecosphere Energy Services, LLC, President, Dennis McGuire said, "We
appreciate the Commission's granting of the permit to utilize our
Ozonix technology in Oklahoma. Their representatives visited our site
twice during the pilot program to witness the Ozonix System working
and took samples for independent testing. It was a lengthy and
deliberate procedure to gain Commission approval and their efforts
will help to preserve Oklahoma's precious water resources. The
Ecosphere Ozonix System will also result in fewer trucks on the road
hauling water which will reduce both carbon emissions and a waste
stream from drilling operations. The frac flowback waste stream will
be recycled for fracturing new wells or returned to the environment
through land application. We also want to thank Newfield for having
the vision to work with Ecosphere's cutting edge technology to
develop cost effective ways to recycle water for fracturing natural
gas wells."

The initial program began in November 2008. The permit granted is
for a two year period and will be reviewed in June of 2011 to
determine if the program is allowed to continue.
