OriginOil, Inc. announced that it has launched a separate licensing group to address the growing number of potential commercial applications for its Solids out of Solution technology outside the oil and gas industry. By licensing these secondary market opportunities, the company intends to sharpen its focus on the commercial deployment of its frack water cleanup system, CLEAN-FRAC, for oil and gas production.

The company announced that Alex Leshnick, currently OriginOil's Director of Operations, will head the new Licensing Group as its General Manager, with Profit and Loss (P & L) responsibility.
