Maintains know-how on radically driving the cost down of converting lignocellulosics (biomass) into fermentable sugars and eventually ethanol using the well established Bergius method that was used extensively in the 1940’s but not widely since due to its high costs. This process involves optimizing the recovery of hydrochloric acid (HCL) from aqueous solutions and also has other applications in HCL dependant industries. Cellulosic wastes include wood, solids from city sewage plants, bagasse and grasses. The firm is raising capital and intends to license its technology.

Developing a commercially viable solution for turning sewage sludge into oil, saving enormous sums in disposal and saving the earth from the destructive sewage dumping.

A ton of high-quality sludge can produce about 30 kilograms of fuel. The technology is not in high-volume production yet.

Pioneered a new approach to reverse osmosis desalination by implicating closed circuit desalination based on hydrostatic principles. These principles enable a process in which the flow rates of pressurized feed and permeate are equal, thereby substantially reducing the capacity of the pressurizing means and avoiding any need for energy recovery techniques. Its vision is to establish its technology as the leading reverse osmosis technology and to reduce the desalinated water prices to a level which will make them affordable to many thirsty developed and developing communities.


AcquaPro

Aims to be a producer of sea floating reverse-osmosis water desalination barges. Currently seeking funding with first production barges not yet built.

Alternatively, barges can preside on land close to a sea coast. Acquapro barges are modular and can thus be constructed according to varying sizes and scale on demand. By combining the most efficient, mobile, off-shore desalination with efficient transmission, treatment, and storage, AcquaPro’s product eliminates much of the high environmental, political, and fiscal costs that make land-based water treatment plants expensive and excessively time-consuming to set up.

A basic barge supplies 5 million gallons (19 million liters) of water daily, enough to supply 50,000 average-sized households or more on an emergency basis, or a good-sized community on a regular basis. Being mobile, Acquapro barges can be moved to safety in the event of natural disaster, war or other hazard, and likewise be quickly deployed anywhere in the world according to circumstance.

Purchasing options include outright plant acquisition, build-own-operate and build-operate-transfer. Also leasing on both short and long-term bases.

Offices in Mississippi and Wyoming, USA.

Grows and processes marine microalgae using a revolutionary ecologically based environmental system. Seambiotic’s technology and unique know-how can be profitably exploited in two major areas: Biofuel and Omega 3 Oil. For the last five years, the company has carried out an extensive R&D pilot study at the Israeli Electric Corporation’s power station near the city Ashkelon, Israel. Throughout the study, new and advanced research methods have been developed for cultivation of various species of marine microalgae using the power station’s CO2 emissions released directly from their smokestacks and which pass through pipelines directly to Seambiotic’s open ponds. The pilot plant has yielded an impressive concentration of algae containing a high percentage of lipids and carbohydrates in a very short term, promoting the production of bio-fuel. Seambiotic’s patent technology efforts in cultivating microalgae utilizing flue gas emissions from power plants is a great step towards the reduction of air pollution and global warming.
