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.
