Cavitation
Technologies, Inc. (CTI) (OTC Bulletin Board: CVAT; Berlin: WTC) has announced
that it has filed three new PCT patent applications to protect our intellectual
property worldwide. The patents are for Flow-Through Cavitation Assisted Rapid
Modification of Crude Oil, Modification of Beverage Fluids, and Method for Cavitation
Assisted Refining, Degumming and Dewaxing of Oil and Fat, for its Nano Cavitation
Technologies.
Cavitation Technologies, Inc. continues to identify new applications for our
technology. All of the applications are in industries where there is a need
to solve environmental problems, reduce operating costs and improve profitability.
For example the application used for Rapid Modification of Crude Oil is designed
to increase the yield of refining crude petroleum. We have conducted tests whereby
our cavitation technology was used to produce 5% to 15% more diesel and gasoline
from the same barrel of crude oil at lower temperatures. In addition, we have
also been able to improve the efficiency of refining crude petroleum as our
technology has been used to increase API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity
and reduce viscosity by up to 15%. The savings derive from the fact that it
takes less energy to refine higher API petroleum. While the Modification of
Beverage Fluids using wine aging as an example, Cavitated and electrolyzed wine
is healthier because it doesn't oxidize easily and requires no artificial anti-oxidizing
agents that are present in almost all wines. Cavitation improves the color,
palatability, mellowness and bouquet in minutes rather than in the months or
years that is needed for a similar result through normal aging. Furthermore,
with regard to the Refining, Degumming and Dewaxing of Oil and Fat patent, our
degumming system converts crude non-degummed vegetable oils into high quality
degummed oils using only water and/or trace amounts of citric acid. In many
tests conducted, CTI processed crude vegetable oils with trace amounts of citric
acid and/or caustic to levels that are acceptable to both, physical and chemical
refining. An improvement of more than 80% compared to typical hot water degumming
that reduces gums to about 200 PPM. CTI looks forward to advancing with the
national phase with entries in various countries, while filing patents in order
to protect its superior technologies globally.
"We are exceptionally proud of the fact that the technologies we are developing
will have a global impact," indicated Roman Gordon, Cavitation Technologies,
Inc. CEO. "As we continue to develop our intellectual property portfolio,
we will continue to explore relationships with potential strategic partners
to enable worldwide transformation in the chemical, wastewater, renewable fuels
and vegetable oil industries while refining existing processes."
Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (CTI); (OTCBB: CVAT); is a "Green-Tech"
company, established in 2006 to become a world leader in the development of
new cutting edge technologies for the vegetable oil refining, renewable fuel,
petroleum, water treatment, wastewater sanitation, food and beverage, and chemical
industries.
