Catalytically Activated Vacuum Distillation (CAVD) employs thermal cracking under vacuum for waste remediation and the production of alternative fuels from various solid feed stocks. Applications include automobile shredder waste, biomass including tobacco waste, citrus waste and distillers grains, textiles including carpet waste, and plastics.

Depending on the feedstock, the system can be tailored to recover marketable gaseous, solid and liquid end-products. The system can be configured for waste remediation or waste to energy, depending on the user’s needs and feedstock. In biomass utilization, tests have shown the CAVD to produce liquid fuels with much higher caloric value than seen for similar technologies.

We currently have a profitable financial model utilizing Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR). We have initiated preliminary communications with David J. Joseph Company – one of the world’s largest scrap companies with facilities in Tampa with the intent of creating a synergistic relationship utilizing our process.

We have transported one of our reactor units to Tampa, Florida. We are in the process of turning this unit into a working power plant, allowing us to have one of the first profitable ASR waste to energy power plants in the country.

Prior to implementation of this we will be running a variety of feedstock through the reactor to obtain independent output results from which we can create additional revenue models for other waste streams. Proguard of South Florida is currently in active negotiations to purchase up to four 48 ton per day CAVD beta reactors. A LOI from Proguard has been received. Contract for the purchase of up to four beta plants is anticipated upon completion of studies using the aforementioned reactor unit.

Submerged Plasma Arc Pyrolysis is designed to recycle a variety of liquid materials into a clean burning, combustible fuel. Some of the materials for which this unit was designed to convert to a useful, combustible gas include: chemical/hydrocarbon contaminated soil effluent, PCB contaminated transformer oil, water/land-based oil spills, refinery pit oil, antifreeze, solvents, processing oils, hazardous runoff water, paint sludge, crankcase sludge, bilge water, tank bottoms, and chemical wash water.

AquaFuel is produced by using water as a feedstock. AquaFuel is a non-fossil, combustible synthesis gas that results from the introduction of an electric arc under water in the presence of carbon electrodes. The AquaFueler 1500 makes up to 3,000 cubic feet of clean-burning AquaFuel per hour for about five cents per cubic foot.

Rod shaped carbon electrodes are automatically fed into the liquid-filled AquaFuel generation chamber. Liquids used in the process can range from salt water to raw sewage. NGTgas is a combustible synthesis gas reported to exhibit unique physical properties due to possessing a novel state of matter. NGTgas is produced using this technology with a non-water feedstock.

We are currently in the process of reviewing three different potential immediate revenue streams to determine if they are still viable. These are: scraping military ships, selling gas to transportation companies in Philadelphia using radiator waste as feedstock and the destruction of waste from HOWCO in Pinellas County

The BORS Lift is a device to recover petroleum from shallow, low-volume stripper wells (10 barrels per day or less). By lifting oil rather than pumping, the BORS Lift eliminates conventional rods, tubing, downhole pumps or pumping units and related maintenance costs, and allows recovery of the oil while leaving water present in the well behind.

The BORS Lift has increased stripper well production an average of 387%, with average production costs reduced from about $12.00 per barrel to just over $3.00 (1999). Standing just 4 ft tall by 8 ft long, the device is currently capable of producing from a gas-driven well with a maximum fluid-balance level of 2,500 feet. The operating concept is based on a balanced technology of extracting oil through a collection tube and dumping it into a collection tank without bringing up water.

Using the BORS lift, wells that were expelling 25 barrels or more of salt water every day are now pulling up only oil, saving on salt water disposal. Installations of the BORS lift have demonstrated an average 387 percent increase in oil production and a decrease in per barrel electric costs from $3.50 to $0.035. We are in the process of securing the rights to this technology and attempting to locate any remaining working models to see if there are potential revenue streams that from which we can participate.

The EcoPAC™ Process produces powdered activated carbon from biomass; forming a light, porous char, which is environmentally friendly, easy to work with, and requires only a small amount of energy to process relative to coal based activated carbons.

Conventional coal processes, on the other hand, must involve calcination at high temperatures to drive off tars and benzene-laden gases. Then the remaining coke product must be subjected to intense heat and pressure for hours to create the pores that are required for an activated carbon to be effective. EcoPAC™ consumes only a fraction of the energy that is required to make coal-based activated carbon.

This process creates an extremely high surface area activated carbon which exhibits a narrow pore size distribution. Carbons of this type are ideal for the treatment of vapor streams, such as for the removal of mercury from flue gas emissions. The EcoPAC™ process has been configured as a standalone operation and as a component of large-scale waste to energy systems.

The Energy Commander: This is a patented technology, utilizing wastewater, fluid or gas flow from any source where flow pressure is present and not utilized, to create electricity.

The system takes in the wasted pressure flow, where it goes through the heart of the system, and into pistons that create mechanical forces, all of which is transferred to a generator creating both electricity, and optionally, air pressure, both of which may be used directly or stored. The water or gas then moves out of the unit, to its original destination, without added waste. The system is noiseless, emission free and environmentally friendly.

We also own the EC5 (Energy Commander), a working hydro energy power plant. This plant is in the in the hands of our partners in the EU for additional testing and roll-out

Other technologies that we own are: Tunnel Bat Culvert Reclamation Vehicle; designed to mobilize the removal of silt, debris, vegetation, soil, rock, and other types of blockage from inside a box culvert

Pyrolytic Tire Reclamation (PTR) Process which recovers the oil, steel and carbon black used in their manufacture, from scrap tires, this process appears to be very similar to that of the CAVD.

We also own the EC5 (Energy Commander), a working hydro energy power plant. This plant is in the process of being moved from Italy to Bulgaria for additional testing and roll out.

We are revisiting our contract with Kinetic from Ocala, Florida. This company has a patented technology that combines wind and water for power production. We currently own 20% of this companies stock.
