5,260,855 Supercapacitors Based on Carbon Foams
5,420,168 Method of Low Pressure and/or Evaporative Drying of Aerogel

Field of Use

'Fields of Use' means a)Brackish Water/Sea Water Desalination, and b)Treatment of Heat Exchanger and Boiler Water, Industrial and ommercial Process Water, and Ultrapure Industrial Water.

The Company’s capacitive deionization technology, or CDT, uses deionization to convert a contaminated water supply into a clean water stream and a waste stream.   As implemented by the Company, the technology involves coating pairs of electrodes with a carbon coating known as carbon aerogel.  The carbon aerogel is porous and has an extremely high ratio of ion collection area to surface area, due to the structure of the areogel.  The carbon aerogel is porous and has an extremely high ratio of ion collection area to surface area, due to the structure of the aerogel.  The ion collection area presented by carbon aerogel is greater than 60,000 times the surface area of the electrode. In the Company's system, a salt water or impure water stream is passed through an electrostatic field established between pairs of electrodes coated with carbon aerogel.  The negative electrode attracts positively charged ions such as chloride or nitrate. Those ions are pulled out of suspension of the water stream and held by the electrodes in the carbon aerogel, until either the power is turned off or the electrode charge is reversed. As a result, with a relatively low application of energy, the Company's technology is able to remove a wide variety of contaminants or other molecules from a water stream through the creation and holding of charged particles.

License Grant

The Licensor, an United Kingdom company, hereby grants a non-exclusive license to the Licensee to manufacture and sell the product for a period of five years from the date hereof.  Random Metering System. Traditional ionization equipment produces the same output rate of ions, regardless of the demands placed on the water system.

License Property

The Random Metering System expands the application of ionization disinfection systems by creating a separate water source to create ions outside of the treated water stream. RMS is the only known ionization water disinfection system which can treat large volumes of drinking water. By controlling the off-line water flow, ions can be concentrated and injected into the treated water based on actual demand and flow rates. Ions produced by the RMS product do not dissipate in high temperatures. This characteristic enables RMS products to be used specifically to prevent and control Legionella. The Legionella organism thrives within colonies of microorganisms, which adhere to the inside of piping distribution networks that transport water for domestic and drinking water use. Because RMS can treat even large volumes of water effectively, it can be used in health care and hospital.

Field of Use

NFT effluent treatment, processing plant disinfection, saline water and sea water.

License Grant

The Licensors grant to Licensee during the Term the exclusive right and license in the Field throughout the world, to use the Licensed Technology (excluding the SIP Technology) in the Field and to manufacture, have manufactured, use, market, have marketed, sell and have sold Licensed Products.

License Property

The Licensors are the owner of certain technology, including expanders, pumps, and recuperators used to produce desalinated water from seawater or brackish water using solar energy (herein referred to as the 'MECH Technology'). The Licensors are the owner of technology for using solar collectors to produce heated water from solar energy using components of the Mech Technology (herein referred to as the SIP Technology).

The 'SIP' in the SIP Technology stands for 'Solar Irrigation Pump'. The pump uses solar energy to pump water. In SIP, a MECH expander is used as the engine that is driven by high-pressure refrigerant vapor. The expander directly drives a MECH pump that pumps water. The amount of pressure of the effluent water from the pump can be determined by the ratio of the volume of the MECH expander to the volume of the MECH pump and the pressure of the refrigerant vapor.

Field of Use

'Field' means the collection and use of solar energy for the production of desalinated water.

License Grant

Solar Power Water Purification system A high volume water purification solution utilizing solar, photovoltaic energy and, when applicable, a mini-windmill or an alternate source of renewable energy. From the sea, lake, river or stagnant, water is passed through several stages of purification and treatment until it is rendered drinkable as per World Health Organization standards. Its innovative design allows its implementation in a challenging geographical locations.

Atmosphere Water Generator Powered by a renewable energy solutions the AWG produces pure potable water from the air’s humidity. The system produces sufficient quantities even at very dry and hot climate conditions. AWG plants can be scaled to almost any size community and/or population.
The machines employed suck in large volumes of air, cool it down to the dew point and collect the resulting condensing water, which is then filtered and mineralized. Through this process, pure drinking water is obtained that meets the quality standards of the WHO.

Seawater, lake water, river water or stagnant water is passed through several stages of purification and treatment until it is rendered drinkable as per World Health Organization standards. In the case of sea or stagnant water, we recommend a treatment via reverse osmosis membranes, which permits the retention of dissolved solids and results in obtaining water of drinking quality. If the water being treated emanates from lakes or rivers, we recommend treatment via an ultrafiltration membrane which functions by retaining suspended materials such as colloids, viruses and bacteria.

Field of Use

Licensee was created to respond to the growing need of drinking water and proposes a water purification solution utilizing solar, photovoltaic energy and, when applicable, a mini- windmill or an alternate source of renewable energy. The system is ready to be built from the Licensor and delivered on demand.
