A Detailed Look at EcoloCap's (ECOS) M-Fuel Technology

EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (ECOS), with its subsidiary Micro Bubble Technologies Inc. (MBT), is developing a new fuel technology that could disrupt the market for rivals like Fuel Tech Inc.(FTEK) and PMFG Inc.(PFMG) among others.

MBT has applied its nanotechnology expertise to convert existing dirty fuels, such as diesel and kerosene, into a new fuel that reduces emission by 60% and fuel consumption by 40% while reducing total cost by up to 25%. By fusing water and oil in a proprietary Nano Processing Unit, the company is able to create what it calls M-Fuel.

The Incredible Technology

M-Fuel is created by feeding water and oil into a proprietary Nano Processing Unit that electrolyzes and separates the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules, while the oil is broken up into sub-micron bubbles that absorb these molecules. A proprietary additive is then added that coats the sub-micron bubbles giving them a negative charge, so that they will quickly disperse in the combustion chamber.

When the M-Fuel is burned, the hydrogen and oxygen elements are released and the resulting burn of the two elements results in the recovery of lost energy by employing water. In fact, there is so little water left-over that the M-Fuel is not even considered an emulsion – it’s an entirely new fuel that is created during the process

Extensive Lab and Real-Life Testing

M-Fuel has been put to the test in marine environments and labs for over two years, which have demonstrated its unique characteristics. Specifically, testing by Taiin Lighting Co., Ltd in Okayama, Japan showed a sharp reduction in oil consumption, greatly reduced emissions, and higher output efficiency when compared to standard diesel, kerosene or bunker fuels.


Tests have also been conducted in Japan on a ferry boat that ran more than 8,000 continuous hours. After this time, engineers opened the engine compartment and found no significant build-ups of dust and ash. Meanwhile, similar tests conducted by the company’s staff have shown that the M-Fuel can be used in a standard diesel engine and actually helped to de-carbonize the cylinders of the engine and emit cleaner emissions.

The Great Potential

There are limitless applications for M-Fuel technology given its unique characteristics, ranging from trucking industries to the maritime industry. After all, it’s hard to overstate demand for a technology that not only reduces emissions, but also uses less oil, increases output, and provides a significant cost savings compared to traditional fuels.

In the maritime industry, falling commodity prices and an increase in the supply of vessels has led to a sharp drop in profits for many shipping operators. Day leases dropped from close to $114,000 per day a year ago to under $20,000 per day at its low this year. Meanwhile, fuel prices are beginning to rise again and eat into profit margins.

As a result, there is strong demand within the maritime industry alone for alternative fuels that can solve this problem, and pollution problems that prevent many ships burning bunker fuels from entering Western ports. M-Fuels can solve both of these problems by providing a cheaper solution that reduces emissions, and even reduces engine maintenance with less carbon build-up.

With the U.S. dry bulk shipping industry alone seeing revenues of around $9 billion per year and record new-builds coming online, this market alone is massive and growing for a tested and proven technology like M-Fuel. Meanwhile, other markets range in possibility from diesel trucking to power generation via burning bunker fuels in developing countries.

The key to profiting for EcoloCap Solutions, however, is not only in sales of the Nano Processing Unit’s. Rather, the company realizes a profit from each gallon sold by being the exclusive provider of a proprietary additive needed in the conversion process. And it’s this aspect of the company’s business model that has many investors bullish on the stock.

Conclusion

In the end, M-Fuel reduces emission by 60% and fuel consumption by 40% while reducing total cost by up to 25%. These tested and proven characteristics make it a no-brainer for many billion dollar industries, ranging from maritime to diesel trucking to power generation. And with EcoloCap recognizing a percentage of profit from sales of the additive for every gallon sold, shareholders could see enormous gains down the road if the technology catches on.
