Just spoke to Dennis at the Headquarters:

Frank Rawson answered the phone and patched me into Dennis. My first comment was that I could not believe everyone was at work on a Friday night. Dennis said they are ALL there right now and very busy and tired and I told him I completely understand and will be brief.

They are going to take Sunday off to get some well needed rest. We had an 8 minute conversation to keep it short and sweet.

The new PBR is still in the filtering stage getting the water to 100% purity using various filters, carbons etc. Pretty much sterlizing the system to the TENTH degree. This is so critical and is the reason why the Behl PBR can outperform any OPEN POND system. It will be a fully monitored untainted flow of pure ingredients. Probably within a week or so they will then introduce about 180 gallons of innoculant (algae) to the 10,000 gallons of water and Dennis said the strain will grow like crazy. This strain of algae under these conditions will most likely double itself each day and if all factors line up could more than double itself in a day.

I asked about AlgaeVenturesystems of Ohio's extractor/harvester process. Behl is indeed using a modified version of their belt patented process (You can view the 1 hour video on their website). Behl bought the license and customized the system to make it even better. Dennis said they have worked with AVS for about a year now and he believes that Behl has made the system much better.

Here is the process:
1.) Then end product will exit the system onto the belt, at that point the belt will eliminate 70 % of the water. The next step will be to heat the leftovers which will reduce the water content even more. Dennis said it is basically baking the algae. Once baked or heated the algae will have a 7 % moisture content left. Here is the most expensive part. They will send that off so that the remainder 7 % of moisture content will be eliminated resulting in consistent pure grade strains of algae where they seperate the oil from the biomass. Now this strand of algae will have two parts to it. 70 % of this end product will be what Dennis called BIOMASS which can be packed and sold as fish food and the other 30 % will be Omega3 with EPA. Dennis threw out the market value per pounds of fish food and the value per pounds of Omega3 w/EPA. I could kick myself for not writing it down. Does anyone know this answer ??

I asked if Behl was partnering or competing with Sapphire right now due to the recent announcements of Sapphires new team of executives.

Dennis basically said Behl is working to better Behl and right now that is what he is focused on. He said those decisions would NOT be his to make anyways. For now in my opinion I would think Behl is doing their thing and Sapphire is doing their's and it is anyone's guess whether these 2 will use each other or compete. Who knows ? That was probably a dumb question on my part because Dennis is not going to divulge if there is something going on but I thought I would ask.

Dr. Brian Goodall is in full blown work mode with the team now and as of 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time on a Friday night the whole team was at work.

I wish I could give you more but did not want to wear out my welcome with Dennis. He said " I got to bail now and get back to work."
