IRVINE, CA (09/26/06) -- James J. Houtz, President of SIONIX Corporation (OTC: SINX) today announced that its Modular Packaged Water Treatment Plant will be installed at the Villa Park Dam through an agreement with Serrano Water District.

"We are very excited about the installation and operation of our equipment at the dam site and what the future holds," stated James Houtz, President of SIONIX. This is the perfect opportunity to process water and demonstrate its superior ability when dealing with high levels of iron, manganese, organics and algae at minimal cost. Until now, this water was unused.

The Santa Ana Mountain Range runoff is one source of water that feeds the Villa Park Dam. The Serrano Water District has water rights to 3,000 acre-feet of that water per year (one acre-foot equals 325,850 gallons). That is nearly one trillion gallons of water.

The system is simple but complex, said Houtz; "SIONIX water treatment systems are simple; 'complete, turn-key, portable and packaged'; they are secure from intrusion and biological contamination, deliberate or natural; systems may be monitored, controlled or diagnosed from anywhere in the world nearly eliminating on-site operators; and yes, everything necessary to meet EPA standards in one package. SIONIX utilizes a 'plug-n-play' design so that each unit shipped is manufactured to exact customer specifications; should conditions change, add or remove modules as necessary."

Dr. John Foster, Ph.D., PG, CEG, Professor of Engineering Geology, Department of Geological Sciences, California State University, Fullerton and W. Richard Laton, Ph.D., PG, CPG, Associate Professor of Hydrogeology, California State University, Fullerton were both appointed to the Advisory Board of Directors in 2004. In addition, Ronald L. Askew of Askew Kabala and Company, an Investment Banking and Consulting firm and David B. Ross of Ross Katagiri, Environmental and Geotechnical Consulting firm were also appointed to the Advisory Board.

Some testing that the professors will conduct during the three year arrangement are as follows: Sampling and analysis of the inflow and outflow on site for TDS, Temperature, Salinity and Fe/Mn on an hourly basis during the time when the unit is being set up and adjusted to the desired output; Sampling and analysis of the pond water on a daily basis with the addition of total Nitrates, DO, and organics as sample parameters as well as the output water for similar constituents over a several month period; Sampling and analysis of the stream contributions to the reservoir on a weekly basis for similar constituents during the operations period; In addition, they would like to set up their meteorological recording gauge and station to track weather conditions at the site during the period in which the SIONIX system will be operating. Additionally, many other testing parameters are slated to prove the systems capability.
