DELRAY BEACH, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 09/15/08 -- Geotec, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GETC) announced
today that it has filed patent applications with the United States Patent
Office. Acknowledgment, as patent pending, has been received by the USPO
for "Methods of refining hydrocarbons fuels and post-combustion production
by enzyme and protein reactions." (Application number 61/132,397)
The patent applications included the protein and enzyme processing,
cleaning and purification of pre-combustion solid, liquid, and gas
hydrocarbons. The patent application also included the lowering of metals,
mercury, sulfur and other hydrocarbon contaminants that will decrease the
air emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfur
Dioxides (SO2) and fine particles. These patents describe the bio-refining
process for bio-diesel/jet fuel and marine bio-diesel.
The Geotec intellectual property and enzyme/protein patents cover several
cellulosic enzymes to convert waste farm products (corn stalks/cobs, rice
husks, etc.) to ethanol/methanol for inclusion in "GeoRich Bio-Fuels." The
"GeoRich" family of bio-friendly fuels will be used to operate the
company's mining, bio-refining facilities and product delivery with
bio-diesel/jet fuel and marine bio-diesel.
The transesterification of ethanol into bio-fuels and bio-crude,
environmental remediation, preliminary stages of carbon sequestration
(pre-combustion) and its process to decontaminate gases containing
impurities are part of the patent application.
The protein/enzyme chemical sequestration and control of carbon dioxide,
sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, metals, and other contaminates from the
post-combustion of solid, liquid and gas forms of hydrocarbons are part of
the patent applications.
About Geotec, Inc.
Geotec, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GETC) is a Green Energy Technology Company with
operations in the United States and Argentina. It utilizes proteins and
enzyme technology to chemically convert hydrocarbons to commercially
produce higher-valued hydrocarbons including coal, and other solid, liquid
and gas. The technologies are used on hydrocarbons, such as coal or oil, to
reduce heavy metals and other contaminants such as sulfur, arsenic and
mercury. It can correct pollution (post-combustion) in the air (carbon
dioxide) and water. In addition, the Company owns process technologies that
can remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated soils. The Company's assets in
Argentina are comprised of the mineral rights in seven Asphaltite
(high-volatile hydrocarbon material) mines.
