ROK Stars PLC, the consumer and environmental products development company
founded by US Billionaire John Paul DeJoria and UK entrepreneur Jonathan
Kendrick, has announced its ROK Water Technologies division has reached
agreement with California-based RL Group, an environmental services company
specializing in the sensitive management of liquid waste, to develop and
deploy ROK's unique water purification system.
The RL Group currently has multi-year waste-management contracts with many
of the world's leading oil and gas companies. RL Group has spent the past
several years focused on California's large oil and gas segment and is now
expanding their services to include Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North
Dakota and Pennsylvania .
ROK and RL Environmental will begin a test pilot of ROK's low-cost water
purification system later this year with one of the major Kern County
producers at a site outside of Bakersfield, California before deploying the
self-contained trailer units to other oil and gas companies across the
United States.
DeLynne Ano, Vice-President of Business Development at RL Environmental
said 'ROK Water Technologies represents a step-change in water
purification. ROK's purification units will allow oil producers to provide
purified water for agribusiness and consumer uses. In the San Joaquin
Valley, where water is the lifeblood of the region, being able to deliver
water that is currently waste is a major achievement. Given the scale of
the requirement for effective and efficient, low-cost, water purification,
we believe ROK's solution will save the oil and gas industry hundreds of
millions of dollars per year in disposal costs and should make a what is
now part of their waste stream a potential profit center, which is a good
thing for them, the environment and the consumer.'
Commenting, Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK Stars said 'We are delighted
to have reached this agreement with the RL Group as together we can further
develop our water purification system, representing massive savings to the
oil and gas industry, while generating significant revenues.'
'All our ROK Stars products, including ROK Water Technologies, have the
potential to achieve what Patron has in the tequila market and what Paul
Mitchell has achieved in the hair care market; to become billion dollar
brands.' Added John Paul DeJoria.
