There's two issues here: the guarantee of the manufacturer and use of that guarantee when setting the initial environmental specs you wish to monitor and control.
BEHL relies upon the warranty of the manufacturer, Shannon Plastics. Specs regarding the tubing are guaranteed by the manufacturer, Shannon Plastics. If they guarantee the tubes would not burst at XXX PSI, and BEHL sets the control unit at XXX PSI for inflow, the control unit would not stop bursting at XXX minus Y pressure. It is set to maintain the PSI intially set.
In order to determine the exact burst PSI, BEHL would have to manipulate the PSI until a consistent breaking PSI could be determined at the highest PSI possible. Once determined, then it would be a matter of adjusting all inputs into the system to maintain that PSI or lower, allowing the control unit to use the exhaust valves if the PSI approaches critical point.
I do not know how that affects turbidity but I imagine less PSI + friction = less turbidity.
Sounds like an issue for the manufacturer, Shannon Plastics.
I wonder why they guaranteed the tubing wouldn't leak up to a certain PSI if it leaked. I wonder if their QC department had their figures wrong regarding PSI and leaks.
I didn't know BEHL manufactured the tubing.
Where is their facility located?
Thank you. Did they elaborate as to the specifications, meaning, it is basically the same product in terms of layering and UV resistance but now seamless? Will they be seeing an increase in price per linear foot (it seems like they would but I don't think this is a big issue, given the last estimate for cost per acre of the system is still well below that of others)? If this info is available at the 'other' board, feel free to ignore, I'll grab it there.
I'd say BEHL knows it works by turning it on, watching it make the pig go round, walking into the office and calling up the environemntal specs from the remote station.
Something DS's unit never did.
Does it mean it will work with a plethora of algae in the tubes? Why not? All it does is control the influx of water and nutrients by monitoring the desired turbidity rate and the nutrient levels. This could be why the PBR was first innoculated, then allowed to achieve a stable environment, and then drained partially, to see if the control can equalize/stabilize the environemnt (the pH for example). Perhaps this could be a reason for one of the many cam shutoffs along with pig issues and tubing cracks.
they actually produce oil on a continuous basis.
What workable system you talking about.
They are no further along then when DS left.
How do you know Siemens, system is working, theres not algae for it to control and how do you know that DS didn't have a control system or working on one.
If your saying the DS is a scammer, then you must be saying the DF and DS set up BEHL as a scam. You can't have it both ways. As I said, time will tell.
There was a PR released in January informing people of Shen's 'amicable' departure.
It coincided with RWE doing a complete rehaul of the control unit with Siemens. Basically, they took Shen's initial idea and made it workable.
For those that want to tout Shen's contribution, remember there was no pig designed or thought to be needed until AFTER algae was growing. By inserting the pig after introduction of the algae, Shen created a contaminated PBR.
Those greener pastures are over at KEPI. Please review the history of corporate actions in the past 6 months and the introduction of foreign business partners and associations eerily similar to BEHL's early ones. Also, revisit Shen's 5G Wireless scam.
Algaelink is a scam. A google search can tell you that.

I think the problem you are having is you are misunderstanding the words you are trying to use. If you don't understand the words you are typing all you will do is instill fear, uncertainty and doubt into people who read your posts.
Any organism that engages in photosynthesis is an autotrophic organism. Autotrophic means an organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs.
Not a lightless or heatless environment.
Can I help with any other issues?
Nice post, monty. +1.
Of course if it is grown in a dark tank spirulina has little EPA.
It needs a lot of sun to do it as it is a highly phototropic strain. LOL!
No problem. Chlorella is another strain of algae with a high EPA content (around 40% of total lipids) and is highly phototropic.
Spirulina is a great source of EPA.
It is also highly phototropic.
Wasn't Shen the former CEO of that 5G wireless scam, too? They were talking about over on the Clean Power board as soon as they announced Shen's appointment.
Credentials all falling into place.
LOL...it all makes sense now!
BEHL buys back Shen's prefs. Shen sinks the money into whatever Clean Power is doing (something Don Quixote-ish I thought, but with Czechs...again). Shen wants his restriction on commons lifted, DF and board vote no, Shen posts like mad to show DF who's boss!
Brilliant, Lipid! +1!!!!
According to Angela Young's email, she has never been in contact with BEHL but now appears to be very interested.
Sorry to respond to your post with the info instead of your son's post.
If BEHL became the Burger King of algae, I think a lot of investors would be happy with that.
Great, care to answer the question originally poised to you or should I take your failure to address the issue as knowing that none of the companies you post can compete on an ROI basis with BEHL's equipment once it is up and running?
I heard that farmer blew up at DF when DF told him some of the farmer's ideas bordered on the abusrd. I guess a number of companies have had the same issue with that farmer.
How much does their system cost?
They never get back to me with cost and production numers.
Same with 70centsagallon.com, which either has licensed the algaelink system or is a VAR for them based upon the pics.
If that's the case (70cents being a VAR for algaelink), I know the cost per acre (1.2 million per acre for a ten acre system)but can't get yield figures from either company.
Any income booked while domiciled in California this Florida Company has a tax obligation and BEHL is moving out of State for an investor opportunity and trying to avoid further tax liability.
As do batteries. Hence my question regarding a transocean airflight. Where do companies get most of their materials (i.e., rare earth minerals) for making batteries like this?
DoE has done studies on the size of land needed to produce oil from algae to meet the US demand. Their study shows a required area the size of either Maryland or Massachusetts. And that was in the 60s. Technology has advanced since then.
How will the battery companies supplement their R&D for lightwieght solutions? Do these companies have an additional product they can sell at 192 a gallon as they perform the research to make fuel a feasible economic possibility?
You should do research an algae being used to construct batteries.
The applications of algae are endless.
How big of a battery would a 747 need to do a transocean flight?
Who's gonna paint today?
Gotta see those 6's...
Peter Green's next email:
BEHL grows algae so fast, they can't contain it!
Maybe those two guys are the 'harvesting technology'.
Could be but it is unlikely as they are not out there in t-shirts straining out the water.
No, I'm not talking a buy back.
Take a look at the 2010 Q1 and the level of cash. Since that level of cash could keep the lights on for six more months if no cash came in the door for the day to day, BEHL felt it needed to increase the share count to fund operations.
Deposits for the PBRs are being used to purchase equipment, prepare the land, etc. Those aren't day to day expenses yet.
They have orders for Omega 3. By starting to fill those orders, you are selling product to keep the day to day going. If you can keep selling product, there's no need to sell shares.
A buyback would mean BEHL would sacrifice funds for day to day operations to increase the value of the shares. Sure, it looks good in your stock account but for a start up, that's like holding the knife to your own throat and slashing.
Call the T/A to find out. The shares were authorized on 6/2/2010. HDSN was believed to be repping the big seller last time. He showed up yesterday for a small bit and then let it run. He moved to .0107, which is where he would park for a few hours during Feb through Apr before selling off a ton.
The T/A will most likely direct you back to Dennis. Dennis has not answered me about the new shares so I have to assume it means a portion are free floating.
A/S and O/S were almost equal so another increase was needed as there isn't much cash coming in the door for day to day operations. If you review the posters who were buying between Feb and Apr, there was some confusion as to why the PPS was stagnating between .008 and .0107.
Simple answer came out in the quarterly. Additional shares were free floating.
Now, when the PBR produces product and product gets cash in the door for day to day, not building out acres like the deposits are for, the company can really pull back on letting loose shares until the PPS is more favorable for them to do so.
A different game from Feb but I think people can get a decent price for shares without chasing still.
As will a lot of people here. They did it before, I'd expect it again. No need to fear being left out of a run when there are additional shares to be bought. Considering the company is making strides, I'd hate to see the board be filled with chasers stuck with a high PPS. Again.
The pullback expected has nothing to do with the performance of the company.
Unfortunately it is impossible to predict the timing.
If this thing hits .20 tomorrow, look out below!
500,000,000 new shares authorized on 6/2/2010 will hit all at once!
LOL!
Does anyone know how many of the new 500,000,000 are free floating?
BEHL is silent on this (to me, at least).
Should I contact Peter Green instead? He seems to have some inside scoop even Gofer doesn't pretend have.
How did EGC find the site? I can't get BEHL to tell me where it is.
What is being done with the old one?
I can't find any info regarding it, just the new construction.
I wonder...
BID UTing...
Again.
St. George is the corporate HQ of SkyWest Airlines.
The regional airport at St. George is supposed to be undergoing a 175 million dollar expansion into the desert.
Are you related to Walter Kronkite?
Gummy...that is not in the filing. I think that came out through BEHL back channels and whoever has an open connection still.
It depends.
Is the 1/2 billion increase free floating or are they restricted? And if BEHL says they are restricted, are they really really restricted this time? Are they for the license purchase of the extracting technology?
I just hope they are done given restricted shares out to snake oil salesmen masquerading as half baked real estate agents.
