Diesel Emulsion

Although it generally provides for more efficient combustion,

compared to gasoline, standard diesel fuel emits certain

types of harmful emissions during combustion (Nitrous

oxides, etc.) These harmful emissions are a result of

incomplete combustion, high combustion temperatures and

the presence of certain chemical compounds in diesel fuel

itself.

A Water in Diesel emulsion is one of the most effective ways

of both improving diesel fuel combustion and decreasing the

output of harmful emissions. The patented water in diesel

emulsion technology uses several proprietary systems to

solve each of these problems. These systems include a

unique patented Gemini surfactant, the capability to create

nano sized water droplets and a process to create very long-

term stable emulsions across all atmospheric and operating

conditions.

HFO Emulsion

Although it is almost universally used by the freight shipping

industry, HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is considered, by

environmental standards, to be among the most polluting

types of fuel that can be used. This pollution generally

comes in the form of nitrous oxide and sulphur emissions.

HFO in water emulsion is one of the most effective ways of

both improving fuel combustion and decreasing the output

of harmful emissions.

The patented water in HFO emulsion technology uses several

proprietary systems to solve each of these problems.

These systems include a unique patented Gemini surfactant,

the capability to create nano sized water droplets and a

process to create very long-term stable emulsions across all

atmospheric and operating conditions.

Marine Fuel Emulsion

High combustion temperature and

pressure present inside most modern

marine engines and the absence of

standardized exhaust gas after-treatment,

result in a disproportionately high

contribution of nitrous oxide emissions

from the marine industry.

The addition of water to marine fuel, in

the form of a thermally and kinetically

stable nano-emulsion, is an effective way

to reduce combustion temperature and

suppress formation of nitrous oxides. One

of the main issues in marine fuel emulsions

is the long-term stability of emulsions

under conditions of kinetic and thermal

variance, such as are presented in marine

operating environments.

This marine fuel emulsion provides clients

with one of the longest lasting and most

durable emulsions in the market. The

Marine Fuel Micro-emulsion has also been

developed to help bring ships into

compliance with NOx abatement

technology to meet the Tier III NOx

emission standard according to Regulation

13 of the revised MARPOL Annex VI and

related documents MEPC 70/X/X, MEPC

57/INF.14, MEPC 66/6/6, MEPC 66/INF.4,

the U.S. Clean Air Act, the EU Emissions

Standards and the Asian Standards.

The micro-emulsion helps ships: reduce

soot and carbon black emissions related to

slow steaming, enhance performance of

turbochargers, lower port fees related to

emissions, reduce scrubber and post-

combustion device loading.

Catalytic Molecular Restructuring

(Pyrolysis)

Biomass can be converted to biofuel via

different thermal biological and physical

processes. Among the biomass to energy

conversion processes, Catalytic molecular

restructuring has attracted more interest in

producing liquid fuel product because of its

advantages in storage, transport and

versatility in application such as combustion

engines, boilers, turbines, etc. In addition,

solid biomass and waste can be difficult and

costly to manage which also gives impetus

to commercialization of Catalytic molecular

restructuring technology. Catalytic

molecular restructuring, in simple terms, is

burning in the absence of oxygen. Catalytic

molecular restructuring, plasma arc

incineration and plasma Catalytic molecular

restructuring are currently used by various

municipalities around the world.

At the same time, however, the amount and

diversity of daily generated municipal solid

waste means that there persists a high

hidden cost of waste sorting. Most of the

general Catalytic molecular restructuring

and Catalytic Molecular Restructuring

platforms are ‘type’ specific. They can only

accept a singular type of organic origin

waste for processing. This means that, to be

used, these reactors incur expensive waste

separation costs.

The proprietary technology within Catalytic

Molecular Restructuring can be broadly

understood as a "smart plasma pyrolytic

reactor". This is a reactor that uses an

atomic level feedback system (mass

spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, etc.) to

monitor the formation and existence of

specific ions in the reactor chamber in real-

time. origin.

Catalytic Molecular Restructuring (Pyrolysis)

Through a proprietary feedback algorithm, the system has virtually eliminated the

"input" variability problem, if input feedstock is of organic.

The market implications are simple: this smart reactor design allows for real-time

local control of ion formation and, as a result, can provide a consistent output of

market ready fuels.

By introducing a dynamic control system into the plasma Catalytic molecular

restructuring process, the patent eliminates much of the cost of traditional

municipal solid waste sorting and separation. In addition, this dynamic control

system turns the waste-to-energy business to a cloud software business, thereby

creating a market distribution model that allows for two things: an unusual degree

of control of lease terms and the ability to create a multi-tiered technology

distribution market.

Solvolysis

The traditional biomass to fuel

market suffers from two problems:

primary source biomass (such as from

crop cultivation) requires the usage of

fertilizers that reduce the effective

EROI (energy return on investment) to

a point that almost negates the utility

of biomass fuel sourcing and the fuels

derived from such biomass sources

require complex processing to yield a

singular, inflexible, market ready fuel

such as ethanol.

Massive subsidies in both the EU and

the US for such fuels, a reliance on

petroleum-derived fertilizers and a

net energy production capability of

photosynthesis [in the form of % of

solar wattage capture per square

meter] that falls substantially short of

photovoltaics and other direct solar

energy technologies demonstrate that

the primary source biomass market

falls short of the energy density of

other existing renewable and non-

renewable sources.

Patent owner’s approach to the

biomass to fuel cycle is different. The

approach is rooted in bio-mimicry:

only using secondary source organic

origin waste (organic molecules that

have already served a primary market

purpose and that stand as waste

products prior to processing) that is

processed mixed (just as in nature)

and that is converted into a bio-

synthetic crude (just as in nature)

that can be refined in a traditional

refinery into the entire spectrum of

traditional drop-in fuels as an ultra-

low sulphur market equivalent.

Solvolysis

Patent owner does not rely on complex biological

fermentation or degradation processes, or on the

usage of complex and rare additives. The process

mimics nature from start to finish, just a little bit

faster. The solvolysis method yields a highly

flexible fuel base that can be either directly used

as is or that can be refined using standard refinery

systems

Nano Refinery

Traditional 2nd Generation Electro-

fuel processing requires a large

refinery infrastructure, like that of

crude oil. Crude oil refineries work

very well but do so at a high cost of

space and hydrogen. In addition,

traditional cracking methods are

nowhere near their true energy

efficiency limit.

The Patented Nano Refinery is a turn-

key standalone system that uses

nanotechnology based catalytic in

conjunction with a magnetic-

induction heating system to

effectively and dynamically control

the process of refining 2nd

Generation Electro-fuel into drop-in

combustion fuels, principally diesel,

gasoline and kerosene.

This system has several advantages

over traditional refineries. It is

mobile (the platform can be

transported via shipping container)

and can be easily adapted to switch

between outputs based on market

demand. It also uses less hydrogen

than traditional reforming processes.

In the case of 2nd Generation Electro-

fuel refining, this is particularly

important. 2nd Generation Electro-

fuel has a large fraction of oxygen

and a fairly small fraction of

hydrogen, in comparison to crude oil.

There are several hydrogen processes

(hydro-oxygenation, hydrogenation,

etc.) that are used in 2nd Generation

Electro-fuel refinement. These

processes are primarily used to

remove oxygen and to add hydrogen

to the carbon fraction of the 2nd

Generation Electro-fuel.

Nano Refinery

Traditional 2nd Generation Electro-fuel processing

requires a large refinery infrastructure, like that of crude

oil. Crude oil refineries work very well but do so.

The patented Nano Refinery virtually eliminates the need

for addition of hydrogen gas as part of the refining

process. This is achievable through two key aspects of

the technology: novel nano-catalysts in the distillation

column that remove excess oxygen and highly tuneable

magnetic induction heating that allows for rapid

molecular reformation and removal of combustion fuel

products.

Both advances together allow 2nd Generation Electro-

fuel manufacturers to go straight to the consumer fuel

market with a much lower risk and much higher demand

adaptability. In addition, manufacturers have lower

hydrogen acquisition costs and lower energy costs on a

per liter of fuel production basis.

Complex Distillation Waste Nano-

Upgrading

The patent owner has developed a complex

nano-upgrading approach to distillation

waste that permits for mixed distillation

waste to be upgraded to fuel products

without prior separation.

It’s a complex array of mixed waste

chemicals that’s ranging from asphaltenes

to char to petcoke to a host of other types

of refinery by products. The most common

solution for disposal is to sell these

products in the non-energy market, often

as waste.

The complex nano-upgrading approach uses

a systematic approach to waste upgrading

that relies on a combination of new nano-

catalysts and new types of solvent

processing systems to allow for a secondary

stage upgrading of traditional waste

products into the commercial fuel market.

These nano-catalysts rely on the physical

and chemical properties of nanoparticles

and nanocomposites (such as much higher

surface area to weight ratios) to allow for

the reformation of commercial grade fuels,

even with very low viscosity and very high

carbon content waste products.

In addition, our complex distillation waste

nano-upgrading takes advantage of recent

advances in dynamic molecular analysis of

real-time waste flow to adjust solvent and

nano-catalytic types and fractions to create

a nearly seamless waste-to-fuel transition

stream.
