Sure did. Loved it.
Summed up by Moneysweats:
Dennis says:
He can build his PBR at a 1/4 of the price of the nearest competetorNumbers (efficiency) BioCentric is acheiving right now:
2 tenths of a ton of algae per acre per day = 440lbs/acre/day
For food application: all 440lbs is eatible!
Sitting on a contract right now to generate as much Spirulina as we can and get $8000/metric ton
BioCentric algae: every ton generated consumes 1.5 to 2.2 tons of CO2 from the air/smoke stack/etc...
Charles has been working with BioCentric to work with college for future employees BioCentric can remotely manage all of the PBRs
PH, Turbicity, Oxygen, CO2 all remotely monitored and controlled.
Creating "green collar" JOBS
end of October BioCentric will send Charles newest inocculant reactor to grow algae in an accellorated way
Water use: effluent "reclaimed"water used in our PBR Dennis uses nothing but bad water running it through a very strong UV light,. This reduces costs.
Even water pressed-out during harvest is reused (after filtering etc)
BioCentric has got 6 clients ready for delivery some in California and some in Texas
we charge 5 cents a pound for Royalties
Next up: Wuhan China...
Dennis says Part II:
Dennis is working with BioCen - from the Czech Rep. for many, many years they have been working with algae and have been able to define which products are best for market and
formulating a plan for the last almost 2 years to bring to market.
Patent Pending on "corners" (180 degree turns) - Biocentric patented the process and procedure including 100% ground cover, narrowing down to 20$ / sq meter.
Shen in China for quality control including tubing and clamps - all specially made for
BioCentric - American companies were offered bidding
opportunity - are three times the price - hence manufacturing hard assests (substantial portion) in China - Because: Dennis
is a business many and all about the money.
Wuhan is ONE of the places in China for projects:
Chinese government allotted 105 - 110 ares adjacent to a steel mill (coal burning)in Wuhan; negotiating for one company to own a master licence in the coming weeks - to be signed for
exclusive contract for the country - been working on it for 17 months - this may be a good thing (time wise) observing Chinese business culture
6th richest man in China will be visiting in next coming weeks - construction guru in China... the evolution of this business relationship has gone: LOI to MOU - now serious
and diligent contract negotiations.
BioCentric worked-out a schedule and plan of action for graduates of college to graduate and immediately come to BioCentric in management process around the globe.
Reiteration: 1.2 tons of CO2 for every ton of algae
Wuhan: Untreated coal put in furnaces in steel mills - this type of application will NOT be used for food supplements will be used for Chlorela (every 6-8 hours) for ethanol - or
cenedesmus dimorphus for gasoline/diesel/jet fuel
HOWEVER - we can turn sewage into food using algae
