N2 GEN Portable Nitrogen Generator from South-Tek Systems Completes Military EMIP

Review

South-Tek Systems N2 GEN portable Nitrogen Generator series successfully completed

a review by the military-based Expedited Modernization Initiative Procedure
(EMIP).

Wilmington, N.C, December 29, 2009 -- South-Tek Systems, designer and manufacturer
of Nitrogen Generators, has successfully completed a review of its N2 GEN series
of portable Nitrogen Generation systems by the military based Expedited
Modernization Initiative Procedure (EMIP). Only a dozen technologies a year are
chosen to go through the EMIP review process, which involves an extensive
application and submission method for each technology.

The N2 GEN Series Nitrogen Generator gives U.S. warfighters the capability of
producing inert Nitrogen gas, an element critical to maintenance in the field or
at the maintenance facility. The N2 GEN eliminates the safety and logistical
issues involved with transporting high pressure gas cylinders.

According to the official EMIP website, "The Expedited Modernization Initiative

Procedure (EMIP) is a multi-phased and continuous market research process"
conducted by the U.S. Military with the goal of educating Government
representatives about new technologies for vehicles and fleets. "EMIP is primarily
designed to suggest improvements to the current and future fleet of tactical
wheeled vehicles and other systems. EMIP seeks to identify an industry's
investments in proven, advanced, commercial technologies at the component, and
subsystem levels, at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7, or better."

TRL 7 readiness level requires demonstration of an actual system prototype in an

operational environment such as a vehicle, aircraft, or space.

EMIP seeks technologies that will improve the capabilities of current and future
military vehicles and places emphasis on technologies that address solutions in
warfighting capabilities that include safety, survivability,
reliability/maintainability/sustainability (RMS), distribution/mission
enhancements (DME), and mobility.

For the past four years, the N2 GEN portable Nitrogen Generator from South-Tek
Systems has been incorporated into Humvee mounted optical labs and mobile
maintenance trailers. It has been deployed in combat venues in both Iraq and
Afghanistan.

In particular, the N2 GEN supports safety capabilities that are sought through the
EMIP process, reducing non-combat casualties by eliminating the need for
transporting high pressure cylinders of compressed Nitrogen gas to maintenance
sites. The RMS capabilities of the N2 GEN reduce operator maintenance tasks by
reducing paperwork and eliminating the need to transport gas cylinders or arms to
and from maintenance depots and sites.

"Providing Nitrogen in the field of active duty is a particularly complicated

problem because compressed Nitrogen is not readily available," says Charles
Metzler of South-Tek's Military/Industrial Division. "We feel that completing this
review process will help South-Tek Systems bring the N2 GEN to the attention of
those who need it the most."
