NanoLogix Scientists Make Progress in Research and Development for Biohydrogen Production
Tuesday November 7, 3:23 pm ET
-- Increases Production of Hydrogen Gas as an Economical, Efficient Fuel Source --


SHARON, Pa., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nanologix, Inc., (OTC: NNLX - News), a nano-biotechnology company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of technologies for alternative sources of fuel, today announced that its team of microbiologists have recently discovered a reliable and simple way to produce hydrogen gas that can be used to power cars, homes and businesses without polluting the environment.

Dr. Sergey Gazenko and Ben Feldmann, microbiologists at NanoLogix' Cincinnati laboratory, succeeded in using a proprietary NNLX microbiological methodology to convert various nutrients into hydrogen gas. When the proprietary bacteria are allowed to grow under anaerobic conditions, they metabolize sugars and convert them into carbon dioxide and hydrogen at a 1:1 ratio. The carbon dioxide is then removed by passing the gas mixture through a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide, and pure hydrogen is all that remains.

Scientists have previously known about the capabilities of bacteria to produce hydrogen in an anaerobic system. The challenge has been to build a bioreactor that uses an inexpensive, renewable nutrient media and food which the bacteria can consume and change into an energy source that can be used by humans.

For this purpose, the NanoLogix team has combined switchgrass, a fast- growing grass that can survive in poor soil conditions, and a solution of 3% grape juice waste. Combining the two nutrient sources was shown to increase the gas production of the bacteria 3-fold over just using switchgrass or grape juice waste alone. This can be explained by the addition of sugars (fructose and glucose) from the grape juice waste to the nutrients in the switchgrass, which creates an optimal nutrient mixture for the proprietary NNLX microbiological methodology to thrive and thus produce large amounts of hydrogen.

To produce this hydrogen, the nutrient mixture is first prepared by a simple proprietary pre-preparation process. It is then pumped into a continuous feed, multi-channel, closed bioreactor containing immobilized cultures. The bacteria use the nutrient media in their normal metabolism and produce a mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide gas. The gases are then passed through a sodium hydroxide solution, which combines with the carbon dioxide and removes it from the system. The hydrogen gas which remains is pumped into a storage container or immediately used for fuel.

Mitchell Felder, M.D., NanoLogix Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We at NanoLogix believe that this may be a significant step forward in achieving an economical, efficient source of hydrogen from waste streams. Attaining this goal would change the world energy paradigm. We are very proud of the accomplishments Dr. Gazenko and our team of microbiologists have made at our Cincinnati laboratory."

NanoLogix's patent-pending process carries a host of advantages First, it relies on nutrient sources that are readily available and can be easily and quickly grown/produced. And if switchgrass and grape juice waste are not available locally, the system is flexible and can be adapted for numerous other kinds of biomass, such as corn, wastewater or waste byproducts. Second, the bacteria needed to drive hydrogen production in the bioreactor can be easily cultured in any laboratory and used immediately. There is no need for expensive and time-consuming procedures that alter the genome of the organism so it can be used in industrial processes. Third, the closed bioreactor system is virtually self-maintaining. By using a continuous feed bioreactor, nutrients are continually fed to the bacteria, and wastes are continually flushed out of the system. This allows the organisms to sustain their growth and metabolic processes, which in turn means they are constantly producing hydrogen gas that can be used for fuel. The channels of the bioreactor can easily be changed if they become contaminated or the bacterial cultures happen to die out.

On the whole, this new-age bioreactor is a simple, extremely cost- effective way to produce green power. It utilizes inexpensive materials, is easy to build and maintain, and can manufacture massive amounts of fuel without polluting our precious ecosystems. Ultimately, NanoLogix hopes it will help to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, paving the way for a cleaner, more energy-efficient tomorrow.
