TheC.P.C.S.M.S.

Explained

C.P.C.S.M.S.

• Continuous Process Centrifugal Suspended Matter Separator

• What is it?

• It is a customized centrifuge that uses specially designed chambers and fluid dynamics to significantly reduce

centrifuge speed while removing suspended solids from a liquid.

• This saves energy and treats the removed solids much more gently than traditional centrifuges.

Why C.P.C.S.M.S.

• The CPCSMS concept was inspired by the need for a cost effective method for separating Algae from its aqueous home, for use in a wide variety of applications, from fertilizers, soil conditioners, animal feed stocks, food, and cosmetics to bio-fuels.

• While harvesting Algae is but one market for the CPCSMS, it will have significant impact on the bio-fuels market. So I will focus on the Algae market for the CPCSMS in this presentation with a bit about the ecological benefits the CPCSMS can provide.

Why Algae

• Algae is the fastest growing plant we know of today. It is significant because it also is the source of all the fossil oil we depend on so heavily to fuel our economy. In some 3rd world countries it is a significant food source for both humans and live stock. The picture is of Micro Algae.

Algae

• There are over 4000 known species of Algae today with more being discovered or bio-engineered on an almost daily basis.

• Micro Algae is the variety that turns your pool or hot tub that lovely green color when the chlorine content is not kept high enough.

• It can also provide us with Sweet Green Crude oil.

Algae oil

• Algae is nature's little oil factory absorbing CO2, sunlight and a few other nutrients from the water it lives in and producing 15% to 80% oil by weight, depending on the species.

Algae productivity

• Under the right conditions Algae can double to triple its population in just 24 hours, making it a substantial over achiever in the bio oils market.

Algae Farms

• So far 100's of millions of dollars have been spent on developing special ponds and Photo bio-reactors to mono culture bio-engineered species of Algae that produce up to 80% oil by weight for oil production.

• The CPCSMS will substantially reduce the cost of de-watering the Algae.

Natural Algae

• Naturally occurring Algae has been largely ignored by the bio-fuel industry due to the large volumes of water that one would need to process in harvesting wild Algae, with an average oil content of 15% to 35% by weight.

• This is where the CPCSMS steps up to take a cost effective advantage of the natural resources.

Algae Plague or Gusher?• It can be either! When Algae gets

plenty of sunlight, nutrients (typically from farm fertilizer runoff and waste water), it will grow till it starts cutting off the sun from the lower depths killing the Algae there. Which then sinks to the bottom and begins to consume oxygen while decaying. This creates what is called an oxygen depleted "Dead zone" that few aquatic species can live in. It also out gases methane & hydrogen sulfide, and that putrid swamp smell, none of which are desirable.

• The CPCSMS can help prevent Algae from reaching hazardous concentrations.

Lets call it a Gusher• The CPCSMS ( Continuous

Process Centrifugal Suspended Matter Separator) to the rescue!

• The CPCSMS could be used to harvest Large blooms of Algae for bio-fuels, livestock feed, fertilizer and soil conditioners. Leaving much cleaner water as a side benefit of its use.

• The CPCSMS is fully scale-able to sizes that could remove Algae at processing rates in the 1000's of gallons per minute.

Additional markets for CPCSMS

• Water treatment - both as a pre-treatment for potable water treatment plants & post waste water treatment removal of suspended solids.

• Swimming pools, hot tubs, decorative ponds all could be cleaned by a CPCSMS.

• Thousands of chemical processes use centrifuges to extract solids from liquids, the CPCSMS has advantages here too!

• The CPCSMS can provide cost effective extraction of solids from any liquid medium.

• Because the CPCSMS does not require flocculants, it eliminates that cost and is ecologically benign.
