NEWS; Producing & contact with a LARGE user of biodiesel! $$$
This company is about to produce revenue with a product that will have a huge impact on the energy sector because it reduces harmful emissions while increasing engine longevity.
1/9/2014
As soon as the Korean plant is producing D-20 we will be posting videos on the YouTube web site. I will let you all know in this blog.
We are going to be introducing a new additive for the production of Bio-Diesel. It has all the EPA approvals and is registered per 40CFR 79.23, 201020004 Esterhol ™. We plan to produce this additive in the US.
Esterhol™ is a direct replacement for the transesterfication process in the production of biodiesel. This technology is consistent with our business plan for selling specific additives for the reduction in price, emissions and maintenance from the use of heavy fuel oils, generating reoccurring revenues.
The additive is mixed into vegetable oil and this blend is then added to diesel. This process is eligible for all US Government energy credits and rebates to the blender and end user.
Ø Esterhol™ meets is ASTM D975 standard specification for diesel oils.
Ø Esterhol™ does not use methanol or NaOH which are hazardous materials
Ø Esterhol™ has a higher BTU content
Ø Esterhol™ saves time and money via our process to prepare biodiesel
Ø Esterhol™ reduces greenhouse gases, pollution and aromatics:
Ø Esterhol™ essentially eliminates sulfur emissions
Ø Non-toxic and bio-degradable
Ø No free glycerin
Ø Esterhol™
Ø BTU content approximately 130,000 BTU per gallon
Ø Heating Oil
Ø BTU content approximately 139,000 BTU per gallon
Ø Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters)
Ø BTU content approximately 118,000 BTU per gallon
Ø Biodiesel
Ø Free glycerin adversely impacts fuel quality
Ø Contribute to fuel instability
Ø Can degrade to form acids leading to gums which foul and plug
Ø Sediment formation
Ø Glycerin hydrophilic and can lead to corrosion
Ø Cold weather fuel separation
Ø Esterhol™
Ø No free glycerin
Ø Glycerin moiety present as backbone of molecule
Ø It is bound chemically to the hydrocarbon portion of the fuel
Ø Not prone to participate in any of the free glycerin issues
Ø No acid contribution
Ø No thermal degradation by-products
Ø No oxidized by-products
Ø It combusts with the fuel hydrocarbon portion
ECOS has started discussions with a large user of biodiesel for the use of Esterhol™.
Next week I will be posting test results and videos on the web site and the ECOS YouTube site with the full Esterhol™ story.

January 5, 2014 and more comments on Thursday January 7 2014.
Happy New Year and this will truly be a Happy New Year. We had a slight hiccup on delivery of two specialty pumps from Germany. The process to make D-20 requires high pressure and temperature of methanol. This make for a very corrosive environment and we can only get these pumps from Germany. The good news is they are on the ship and we should be in production; only three weeks late.
Nick sent the following. “I spent a bit of my holiday time looking at the Korean poultry market and thought I would share something’s I learned which might be helpful to ECOS investors.
Korea produces only 80-85% of its chicken requirements. The balance of its requirements come from the US, Brazil and Denmark. The bulk of imported chicken is imported to serve quick serve restaurant business (read KFC) and the regular restaurant business. This is expected to continue over the next 5 years.
US & Brazilian chicken have an imported cost which run about 20% less than Korean chicken This gap will increase over the next five years as the tariff reduction under the US Korea trade agreement kicks in.
Korea principal export markets for chicken are Hong Kong and Vietnam. The export production is less than 10% of the total production and not expected to grow materially over the next five years.
2014 is expected to see an increase in chicken consumption due to the World Cup Soccer tournament. The measuring point for this was the 2010 World Cup. The increase will be temporary (10-15%) and fall back in 2015.
Heating and power costs of Korean chicken producers run about 5% of their total production costs. That means use of D-20 is not driven by cost benefits to the chicken farmer as it is not material but needs to be yield related.
Korean poultry production is vertically integrated. The farms tend to be part of trade groups which include the slaughter houses and producers. Business model similar to Japan.
The Korean poultry market is regulated by the government in terms of production. When production of a variety of chicken puts pressure on price the government steps in to cut production and manage price."
Some comments. Let’s analyze the numbers. A typical facility that produces 35,000 chickens per month. The use of D-20 allows the chicken to come to market approximately 2-3 days earlier. This will get an extra yield of 1 month or 35,000 chickens. At a minimum of a 1.5% in the reduction of mortality of chickens, this represents an extra 525 chickens per month of output. Korea is eliminating the subsidy of kerosene to farmers. Without this additional cost the same farmer would save 30% on the dollar for fuel at the average monthly consumption of 15,000 liters per month. D-20 will save the farmer approximately $6,750 per month on kerosene costs.
The Poultry Association was the party that conducted the tests and is recommending D-20 to their members.
Look for some more comments on Thursday.

$15 million in revenues
Dont forget Chicago Venture Partners works only with companys who has at least $15 million in revenues and are profitable.
So a lot more to come here, something is brewing huge here!!
Chicago Venture Partners
We are actively looking for opportunities to make control investments in mature companies that are generating positive cash flow at the lower end of the middle market. We have completed leveraged and unleveraged buyouts of stand-alone companies and participated in corporate divestitures. We also seek to fund management buyouts, succession strategies and recapitalizations. In many cases, business owners can achieve partial liquidity at the time of the investment and then continue to provide leadership during a transition process. In some instances we have completed buyout transactions with CVP’s capital only and other times we have brought in other equity and/or mezzanine investors.
Chicago Venture also invests in mature, late stage companies that need additional working capital to fund growth. These are usually companies with at least $15 million in revenues and are profitable. Generally in these situations CVP would lead or participate in a syndicate with other equity investors, which we have done several times.
EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (EcoloCap) is a development stage company. The Company is an integrated network of environmentally focused technology companies that design, develop, manufacture and sell cleaner alternative energy products.
2014 will be extremely exciting for ECOS. We are on schedule and will be showing revenue in January 2014.

The company Ecos has secured financing to supply heating fuel to the Korean Poultry industry.
SOUTH KOREA - South Korea will work to double its outbound shipments of farm products to US$16 billion in just five years, according to the agriculture ministry.
EcoloCap Solutions (ECOS) is a goldmine!
China is fast catching up to Japan as the world's largest importer of South Korean food products, purchasing $467 million worth of products in the first half of the year.
THe Korean government plans to invest up to 2 trillion on research and development projects to develop country-specific products," said Lim Jeong-bin, head of the ministry's food industry policy bureau.
Under its plan revealed at a government meeting chaired by President Park Geun-hye, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said it will invest nearly two trillion won (KRW; US$1.86 billion) to develop new products and farming technologies
Guess what EcoloCap Solutions is part of it. Thats why the revenue will be millions and millions.
We feel the whole world is watching these developments.
Last year;
CEO Ecos was in Chile to supervise the installation and testing of the equipment along with four Korean engineers and technicians from KMBT Korea, Ecos Mr. Egger states: The is the culmination of years of research anddevelopment and the ultimate demonstration of our technology, as well asthe first delivery in a program that should result in over $27M in salesof equipment and close to $54M a year in sales of additive. We feel the whole world is watching these developments, as we have prospectivecustomers and distributors from four continents and over ten countries,major companies and governments, representing hundreds of millions insales for EcoloCap.In other ongoing negotiations, at the invitation of the Ukrainian Government, Michael Siegel, the CEO of EcoloCap, was visiting the Ukraineto meet with the Minister of Energy to discuss an agreement for theimplementation of an M-Fuel strategy for the City of Kiev, then to extend to the rest of the country. ....
Ecos!
This company is about to produce revenue with a product that will have a huge impact on the energy sector because it reduces harmful emissions while increasing engine longevity.
To estimate the size of this market, over 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) watts of electricity is generated each year by diesel or heavy fuel oil (HFO) worldwide.
Good news;
No r/s expected, he initiates imo a buy back with revenue and allows the pps to grow as the revenue grows.
The purpose of this blog to be an informal communications between the investor and myself. Informal is the magic word.Got another question over the weekend from Brian O a long time investor. “What is the status of the company’s other products (Nano-battery and waste units)? Are these viable products? What stage of development and or production are they in?The battery was ahead of its time and still is. The problem was and still is, the ability to raise the necessary funding to build a production facility. Three separate systems have to be built.1) Anode can cathode material production2) Anode and cathode production and;3) Battery assemblySteps 1 and 2 are based upon new technology. The total cost was over $100 million with at least 2 years before the first full production. It was impossible to raise the funds especially in the light of the A123 bankruptcy and other battery company problems. If anyone out there has a spare $100 million and wants to get into the battery business call me.ECOS is progressing with the first sale of a large municipal waste to energy system in the Ukraine. We are talking to a Bank in Europe and Asia to finance the project. Do to the political unrest in the Ukraine the financing has been put on hold till the political problem stabilizes.Another question is why the toxic debt? This is truly the rock and a hard place dilemma. As management, do I let go key scientist(s) necessary for the success of the company or do I create debt that will dilute the stock. The Board and I feel it is more important to keep the company in operation.The dilution leads to the next question. “Will ECOS do a reverse split? This has pros and cons. I personally feel that a reverse split without the accompanying revenue will only hurt the investor.I will address the debt question and reverse split in the future.
Question and Answer:
I will try to answer questions presented by the shareholders. Additionally, I will share the questions and answers among the readers of the blog and the individuals on the E-Mail list.
The question was, “If you could please clarify your latest blog entry of producing 200,000 liters per 10 hour shift. Is that per day or per month? The reason I'm asking is that in a blog post before the post mentioned above you said each facility should be able to produce 1.4 m L/M. So, have your estimates gone up or down?”
Answer: The existing facility will have enough mixing capacity to produce 200,000 liters per month per 10 hour shift. The facility will increase to 2 shifts, as soon as the properly trained personal are hired, for a total of 400,000 liter/month and ASAP increase the output to 1.4 m L/M.
The maximum projected demand for D-20 is 33,750,000 liters per month. This is based upon 3,000 chicken farms. The basis for this projection is on the orders we are receiving. The problem with increasing production beyond certain limits is the marginal utility of size. Pumps, tanks and piping above 2,000,000 liters/month is not cost effective. Additionally the farms are spread out all over Korea shipping and the cost of shipping over a period of time will negate the advantages of one large facility.
Below is the translation of the test results and why we are so optimistic in eventually reaching this production goal.
To: ECOS Feb. 7, 2013
Attention: President of Research & Development Center
From: Se Young Yoon President of Korea Poultry Association
Anseon Branch
Subject: Report on the outcome of using D -20
Dear Mr. Kwak,
We are pleased to report you the data obtained during raising 35,000 chickens with your new alternative fuel D -20 as follows:
1. Test conditions:
(1) Test object: 35,000 hatched chickens
(2) Time: For 33days from Dec. 27, 1012 until Jan. 30, 2013
(3) Fuel: 8,400 liters of D -20
(4) Place: Chicken farm located at 684, Bodong-ri, Daedeog-myun, Anseon city, Gyounggi-do, Republic of Korea.
2. Fuel:
(1) Used: 5,300 liters
(2) Left over: 3,100 liter from 8,400 liters prepared.
3. New Changes at chicken farm by D -20:
(1) The temperature of Celsius 35 degree could be sustained for 24 hours and 2 weeks inside the chicken house. (Celsius 35 degree is very essential to the newly coming hatched chickens for the first 2 weeks.)
(2) The humidity was 70% (It was 53% by kerosene). We guess that the reason of high humidity was that the water contained (25%) in D -20 evaporated.
(3) The emission of exhaust gas and NOx was reduced prominently due to the complete combustion of D -20. The air inside of chicken house was very clean and fresh.
(4) Mortality rate was 3.5% - 4% (the average is less or more 5%)
(5) The temperature did not fall sharply during ventilation.
(6) The matured chicken was very healthy and had good weight with less feathers. (The precise accumulation was not made this time.)
4. Comparison of fuel consumption:
(1) Average fuel consumption is kerosene 3,000 liter per one generation of 10,000 chickens. So, 10,500 liters of kerosene would be used to raise 35,000 chickens.
(2) We used 5,300 liters of D -20 for one generation of 35,000 chickens at our chicken farm.
(3) Amount of fuel cost: (a) Kerosene: U$10,500. - (10,500 liter x U$1.00/liter)
(b) D -20: U$4,637.50(5,300 liter x U$0.875/liter – unit price of D -20)
- Difference U$5,862.50- ( equivalent to 55.8% of kerosene fuel cost). The price of kerosene per liter is U$1.00 – U$1.20.- in Korea. This price is tax-free for farmers and the lowest price at the present time.
(4) In case that chicken farm who raises 40,000 chicken per one generation(6 times per a year) use 72,000 liters of kerosene every as follows; 40,000 chickens x 0.3 liter/chicken x 6 times/year = 72,000 liters.
(Average fuel consumption per one generation of 10,000 chickens is 3,000 liters of kerosene. So, fuel consumption per one chicken is 0.3 liter during winter time)
If chicken farm use D -20 instead of kerosene, he can save fuel cost as follows; 72,000 liters/year x U$1.00/liter x 55.8% = U$40,176.-
(5) However, the actual fuel consumption is different according to the seasons as follows: - Nov. – Mar. : 500% (every month 100% x 5 months) - Apr. – May : 100% (every month 50% x 2 months) - Jun. – Aug. : 60% (every month 20% x 3 months) - Sep. – Oct. : 100% (every month 50% x 2 months) --------------------------------------------------------- Total: 760% (If the consumption during winter is 100%, the consumption during summer is only 20%. So, 760%(seasonal difference)/1,200% (same every month) = 64%)
The virtual fuel consumption to raise 40,000 chickens per year is 72,000 liters x 64%=46,080liters.
(6) The reason of less consumption of fuel when D -20 is used: The water contained in D -20 evaporates during combustion and it forms high humidity which prevents the sharp fall of temperature inside chicken house.
5. Improvements required by us:
(1) Installation of fuel tank should be higher than the current position by 1 meter.
(2) The air inlet should be reduced by 50% for better mixing with fuel. (The complete combustion and less fuel consumption)
(3) The connecting part of hose should be sealed perfectly with rubber band.
(4) The fuel hose should be replaced by bigger one.
(5) The D -20 should be manufactured by K-MBT or its local agent and delivered to each chicken farm. The production of D -20 at the chicken farm is not recommendable since the chicken farm owners do not welcome the purchase of new mixing machine and they do not want to pay additional labor cost for mixing worker.
6. Other features:
(1) The front part (heat exhausting part) of air heat blower became more dark red color, which means D -20 has same or better heat calorie than kerosene.
(2) The electronic type air heat blower worked well with D -20.
(3) There was no problem in automatic ignition and pause/reigniting by automatic temperature sensor.
(4) The air heat blower with D -20 worked well at ambient temperature of Celsius – 17 degree.
(5) The generation was shortened by 2 days (average generation is 35 days)

I have been overwhelmed by the number of individuals that have requested to be put on the ECOS mailing list. Additionally I have been admonished by some observant stakeholders for failing to put the date on the blogs. This will be immediately rectified. If the criticism is valid I have no problem.
Keep sending in your e-mail contacts. Starting next week all blog statements as well as press releases will be sent directly to those on the list at the same time of posting. All e-mail information will be kept confidential and thanks for all of your support. Next year 2014 will be extremely exciting for ECOS.
D-20 PROGRESS
I want to give an update on the D-20 in Korea. The factory is in the process of receiving the ordered equipment and presently connecting the mixing system. The delivery of a large, specialty mixer is two weeks behind schedule, but we still are planning to start delivery of D-20 on schedule and will be showing revenue in January.
Initial production goals are 200,000 liters per 10 hour shift. By mid-February we plan to have two, 10 hour shifts. This time frame is dependent on the ability to hire the appropriate employees for production.
The facility is designed to produce 2 NPU’s per month. We are planning to have at least one test NPU in the US for M-Fuel production in June for a joint railroad locomotive manufacturer and railroad test. State regulations are requiring that railroad, diesel engine emissions must be drastically reduced. M-Fuel tests conducted on similar types of diesel engines indicate that M-Fuel will reduce emissions and the test engineers have indicated that the life of an engine, before overhaul, could be extended by at least 5 years.
A formal press release will be sent on the day we start D-20 production. Send me your E-Mail address to info@ecolocap.com and I will send all on the mailing list the copy of the press release at the same time I send it to the press release company.

ECOLOCAP RECEIVES MAJOR INVESTMENT
I have been receiving many E-Mails from investors the past few weeks. I am sorry but I was not able to respond. This blog is my form of returning the many requests for information. I can finally say the wait was well worth it. ECOS has received major investment from Chicago Venture Partners (http://www.chicagoventure.com/). This infusion of funds will be used to supply orders of D-20 (kerosene, methanol and water emulsion for the heating of poultry aviaries) from 3,000 chicken farms and approximately 1,000 duck farms in Korea.
Our goal is to deliver 400,000 liters of D-20 per month in January 2014. By February, we expect to ramp up production and plan to produce a total of 800,000 liters per month. Approximately in July 2014, we will have the ability to deliver 2.4 million liters per month, satisfying the orders that we have been requested to fill. By April 2015, ECOS will have the capacity to produce 18 million liters per month. D-20 fuel currently sells for $0.487/liter.
Additionally, the factory will be able to supply 2 NPU-60’s, and the required additive (5000 gallons per month per NPU). Each NPU-60 has a production capacity of 18,000 gallons of M-Fuel per day. We are projecting to deliver 6 units over the next 12 months."
The D-20 technology is the only fuel that has been tested by the Korean Poultry Association which reduces the heating costs by 30%, reduces poultry time to market from 35 days to 32 days (which provides an extra cycle of breeding per year), and reduces poultry mortality by 1.5%. A typical aviary houses approximately 35,000 chickens, which means that, in addition to cost savings, the farmer could gain a minimum of an extra 8,400 chickens per year, or 25,200 lbs. Korea exports over 800,000 lbs. of chicken to Asia and Europe.
We plan to submit a formal press release to be sent this week. I will be reporting on the progress of the factory as we are putting the equipment together.

Without this additional cost the same farmer would save 30% on the dollar for fuel at the average monthly consumption of 15,000 liters per month. D-20 will save the farmer approximately $6,750 per month on kerosene costs.
The Poultry Association was the party that conducted the tests and is recommending D-20 to their members.
Look for some more comments on Thursday.

$15 million in revenues
Dont forget Chicago Venture Partners works only with companys who has at least $15 million in revenues and are profitable.
So a lot more to come here, something is brewing huge here!!
Chicago Venture Partners
We are actively looking for opportunities to make control investments in mature companies that are generating positive cash flow at the lower end of the middle market. We have completed leveraged and unleveraged buyouts of stand-alone companies and participated in corporate divestitures. We also seek to fund management buyouts, succession strategies and recapitalizations. In many cases, business owners can achieve partial liquidity at the time of the investment and then continue to provide leadership during a transition process. In some instances we have completed buyout transactions with CVP’s capital only and other times we have brought in other equity and/or mezzanine investors.
Chicago Venture also invests in mature, late stage companies that need additional working capital to fund growth. These are usually companies with at least $15 million in revenues and are profitable. Generally in these situations CVP would lead or participate in a syndicate with other equity investors, which we have done several times.
EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (EcoloCap) is a development stage company. The Company is an integrated network of environmentally focused technology companies that design, develop, manufacture and sell cleaner alternative energy products.
2014 will be extremely exciting for ECOS. We are on schedule and will be showing revenue in January 2014.

The company Ecos has secured financing to supply heating fuel to the Korean Poultry industry.
SOUTH KOREA - South Korea will work to double its outbound shipments of farm products to US$16 billion in just five years, according to the agriculture ministry.
EcoloCap Solutions (ECOS) is a goldmine!
China is fast catching up to Japan as the world's largest importer of South Korean food products, purchasing $467 million worth of products in the first half of the year.
THe Korean government plans to invest up to 2 trillion on research and development projects to develop country-specific products," said Lim Jeong-bin, head of the ministry's food industry policy bureau.
Under its plan revealed at a government meeting chaired by President Park Geun-hye, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said it will invest nearly two trillion won (KRW; US$1.86 billion) to develop new products and farming technologies
Guess what EcoloCap Solutions is part of it. Thats why the revenue will be millions and millions.
We feel the whole world is watching these developments.
Last year;
CEO Ecos was in Chile to supervise the installation and testing of the equipment along with four Korean engineers and technicians from KMBT Korea, Ecos Mr. Egger states: The is the culmination of years of research anddevelopment and the ultimate demonstration of our technology, as well asthe first delivery in a program that should result in over $27M in salesof equipment and close to $54M a year in sales of additive. We feel the whole world is watching these developments, as we have prospectivecustomers and distributors from four continents and over ten countries,major companies and governments, representing hundreds of millions insales for EcoloCap.In other ongoing negotiations, at the invitation of the Ukrainian Government, Michael Siegel, the CEO of EcoloCap, was visiting the Ukraineto meet with the Minister of Energy to discuss an agreement for theimplementation of an M-Fuel strategy for the City of Kiev, then to extend to the rest of the country. ....
Ecos!
This company is about to produce revenue with a product that will have a huge impact on the energy sector because it reduces harmful emissions while increasing engine longevity.
To estimate the size of this market, over 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) watts of electricity is generated each year by diesel or heavy fuel oil (HFO) worldwide.
Good news;
No r/s expected, he initiates imo a buy back with revenue and allows the pps to grow as the revenue grows.
The purpose of this blog to be an informal communications between the investor and myself. Informal is the magic word.Got another question over the weekend from Brian O a long time investor. “What is the status of the company’s other products (Nano-battery and waste units)? Are these viable products? What stage of development and or production are they in?The battery was ahead of its time and still is. The problem was and still is, the ability to raise the necessary funding to build a production facility. Three separate systems have to be built.1) Anode can cathode material production2) Anode and cathode production and;3) Battery assemblySteps 1 and 2 are based upon new technology. The total cost was over $100 million with at least 2 years before the first full production. It was impossible to raise the funds especially in the light of the A123 bankruptcy and other battery company problems. If anyone out there has a spare $100 million and wants to get into the battery business call me.ECOS is progressing with the first sale of a large municipal waste to energy system in the Ukraine. We are talking to a Bank in Europe and Asia to finance the project. Do to the political unrest in the Ukraine the financing has been put on hold till the political problem stabilizes.Another question is why the toxic debt? This is truly the rock and a hard place dilemma. As management, do I let go key scientist(s) necessary for the success of the company or do I create debt that will dilute the stock. The Board and I feel it is more important to keep the company in operation.The dilution leads to the next question. “Will ECOS do a reverse split? This has pros and cons. I personally feel that a reverse split without the accompanying revenue will only hurt the investor.I will address the debt question and reverse split in the future.
Question and Answer:
I will try to answer questions presented by the shareholders. Additionally, I will share the questions and answers among the readers of the blog and the individuals on the E-Mail list.
The question was, “If you could please clarify your latest blog entry of producing 200,000 liters per 10 hour shift. Is that per day or per month? The reason I'm asking is that in a blog post before the post mentioned above you said each facility should be able to produce 1.4 m L/M. So, have your estimates gone up or down?”
Answer: The existing facility will have enough mixing capacity to produce 200,000 liters per month per 10 hour shift. The facility will increase to 2 shifts, as soon as the properly trained personal are hired, for a total of 400,000 liter/month and ASAP increase the output to 1.4 m L/M.
The maximum projected demand for D-20 is 33,750,000 liters per month. This is based upon 3,000 chicken farms. The basis for this projection is on the orders we are receiving. The problem with increasing production beyond certain limits is the marginal utility of size. Pumps, tanks and piping above 2,000,000 liters/month is not cost effective. Additionally the farms are spread out all over Korea shipping and the cost of shipping over a period of time will negate the advantages of one large facility.
Below is the translation of the test results and why we are so optimistic in eventually reaching this production goal.

Attention: President of Research & Development Center
From: Se Young Yoon President of Korea Poultry Association
Anseon Branch
Subject: Report on the outcome of using D -20
Dear Mr. Kwak,
We are pleased to report you the data obtained during raising 35,000 chickens with your new alternative fuel D -20 as follows:
1. Test conditions:
(1) Test object: 35,000 hatched chickens
(2) Time: For 33days from Dec. 27, 1012 until Jan. 30, 2013
(3) Fuel: 8,400 liters of D -20
(4) Place: Chicken farm located at 684, Bodong-ri, Daedeog-myun, Anseon city, Gyounggi-do, Republic of Korea.
2. Fuel:
(1) Used: 5,300 liters
(2) Left over: 3,100 liter from 8,400 liters prepared.
3. New Changes at chicken farm by D -20:
(1) The temperature of Celsius 35 degree could be sustained for 24 hours and 2 weeks inside the chicken house. (Celsius 35 degree is very essential to the newly coming hatched chickens for the first 2 weeks.)
(2) The humidity was 70% (It was 53% by kerosene). We guess that the reason of high humidity was that the water contained (25%) in D -20 evaporated.
(3) The emission of exhaust gas and NOx was reduced prominently due to the complete combustion of D -20. The air inside of chicken house was very clean and fresh.
(4) Mortality rate was 3.5% - 4% (the average is less or more 5%)
(5) The temperature did not fall sharply during ventilation.
(6) The matured chicken was very healthy and had good weight with less feathers. (The precise accumulation was not made this time.)
4. Comparison of fuel consumption:
(1) Average fuel consumption is kerosene 3,000 liter per one generation of 10,000 chickens. So, 10,500 liters of kerosene would be used to raise 35,000 chickens.
(2) We used 5,300 liters of D -20 for one generation of 35,000 chickens at our chicken farm.
(3) Amount of fuel cost: (a) Kerosene: U$10,500. - (10,500 liter x U$1.00/liter)
(b) D -20: U$4,637.50(5,300 liter x U$0.875/liter – unit price of D -20)
- Difference U$5,862.50- ( equivalent to 55.8% of kerosene fuel cost). The price of kerosene per liter is U$1.00 – U$1.20.- in Korea. This price is tax-free for farmers and the lowest price at the present time.
(4) In case that chicken farm who raises 40,000 chicken per one generation(6 times per a year) use 72,000 liters of kerosene every as follows; 40,000 chickens x 0.3 liter/chicken x 6 times/year = 72,000 liters.
(Average fuel consumption per one generation of 10,000 chickens is 3,000 liters of kerosene. So, fuel consumption per one chicken is 0.3 liter during winter time)
If chicken farm use D -20 instead of kerosene, he can save fuel cost as follows; 72,000 liters/year x U$1.00/liter x 55.8% = U$40,176.-
(5) However, the actual fuel consumption is different according to the seasons as follows: - Nov. – Mar. : 500% (every month 100% x 5 months) - Apr. – May : 100% (every month 50% x 2 months) - Jun. – Aug. : 60% (every month 20% x 3 months) - Sep. – Oct. : 100% (every month 50% x 2 months) --------------------------------------------------------- Total: 760% (If the consumption during winter is 100%, the consumption during summer is only 20%. So, 760%(seasonal difference)/1,200% (same every month) = 64%)
The virtual fuel consumption to raise 40,000 chickens per year is 72,000 liters x 64%=46,080liters.
(6) The reason of less consumption of fuel when D -20 is used: The water contained in D -20 evaporates during combustion and it forms high humidity which prevents the sharp fall of temperature inside chicken house.
5. Improvements required by us:
(1) Installation of fuel tank should be higher than the current position by 1 meter.
(2) The air inlet should be reduced by 50% for better mixing with fuel. (The complete combustion and less fuel consumption)
(3) The connecting part of hose should be sealed perfectly with rubber band.
(4) The fuel hose should be replaced by bigger one.
(5) The D -20 should be manufactured by K-MBT or its local agent and delivered to each chicken farm. The production of D -20 at the chicken farm is not recommendable since the chicken farm owners do not welcome the purchase of new mixing machine and they do not want to pay additional labor cost for mixing worker.
6. Other features:
(1) The front part (heat exhausting part) of air heat blower became more dark red color, which means D -20 has same or better heat calorie than kerosene.
(2) The electronic type air heat blower worked well with D -20.
(3) There was no problem in automatic ignition and pause/reigniting by automatic temperature sensor.
(4) The air heat blower with D -20 worked well at ambient temperature of Celsius – 17 degree.
(5) The generation was shortened by 2 days (average generation is 35 days)

I have been overwhelmed by the number of individuals that have requested to be put on the ECOS mailing list. Additionally I have been admonished by some observant stakeholders for failing to put the date on the blogs. This will be immediately rectified. If the criticism is valid I have no problem.
Keep sending in your e-mail contacts. Starting next week all blog statements as well as press releases will be sent directly to those on the list at the same time of posting. All e-mail information will be kept confidential and thanks for all of your support. Next year 2014 will be extremely exciting for ECOS.
D-20 PROGRESS
I want to give an update on the D-20 in Korea. The factory is in the process of receiving the ordered equipment and presently connecting the mixing system. The delivery of a large, specialty mixer is two weeks behind schedule, but we still are planning to start delivery of D-20 on schedule and will be showing revenue in January.
Initial production goals are 200,000 liters per 10 hour shift. By mid-February we plan to have two, 10 hour shifts. This time frame is dependent on the ability to hire the appropriate employees for production.
The facility is designed to produce 2 NPU’s per month. We are planning to have at least one test NPU in the US for M-Fuel production in June for a joint railroad locomotive manufacturer and railroad test. State regulations are requiring that railroad, diesel engine emissions must be drastically reduced. M-Fuel tests conducted on similar types of diesel engines indicate that M-Fuel will reduce emissions and the test engineers have indicated that the life of an engine, before overhaul, could be extended by at least 5 years.
A formal press release will be sent on the day we start D-20 production. Send me your E-Mail address to info@ecolocap.com and I will send all on the mailing list the copy of the press release at the same time I send it to the press release company.

ECOLOCAP RECEIVES MAJOR INVESTMENT
I have been receiving many E-Mails from investors the past few weeks. I am sorry but I was not able to respond. This blog is my form of returning the many requests for information. I can finally say the wait was well worth it. ECOS has received major investment from Chicago Venture Partners (http://www.chicagoventure.com/). This infusion of funds will be used to supply orders of D-20 (kerosene, methanol and water emulsion for the heating of poultry aviaries) from 3,000 chicken farms and approximately 1,000 duck farms in Korea.
Our goal is to deliver 400,000 liters of D-20 per month in January 2014. By February, we expect to ramp up production and plan to produce a total of 800,000 liters per month. Approximately in July 2014, we will have the ability to deliver 2.4 million liters per month, satisfying the orders that we have been requested to fill. By April 2015, ECOS will have the capacity to produce 18 million liters per month. D-20 fuel currently sells for $0.487/liter.
Additionally, the factory will be able to supply 2 NPU-60’s, and the required additive (5000 gallons per month per NPU). Each NPU-60 has a production capacity of 18,000 gallons of M-Fuel per day. We are projecting to deliver 6 units over the next 12 months."
The D-20 technology is the only fuel that has been tested by the Korean Poultry Association which reduces the heating costs by 30%, reduces poultry time to market from 35 days to 32 days (which provides an extra cycle of breeding per year), and reduces poultry mortality by 1.5%. A typical aviary houses approximately 35,000 chickens, which means that, in addition to cost savings, the farmer could gain a minimum of an extra 8,400 chickens per year, or 25,200 lbs. Korea exports over 800,000 lbs. of chicken to Asia and Europe.
We plan to submit a formal press release to be sent this week. I will be reporting on the progress of the factory as we are putting the equipment together.
