SCIPIO ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- Established the Scipio Code of Ethics for our participation in the biofuels industry intended to be an example of how simple, inexpensive and profitable it can be to affect positive changes in the environment while creating potential jobs.
- Designed multiple continuous, size selective algae harvesters that operate without the use of consumables such as filters or require recurring human attendance.
- Designed a second system pump that can also serve as a CO2 infusion device. All of Scipio's algae pumps and CO2 infusers are incapable of scarring the algae culture due to the design considerations of each model.
- Designed scalable, sealed PBR systems with internal temperature controls capable of supporting algae growth specifically for regions subject to extremes in temperature, humidity, and photoperiod that have precluded the idea of algae based renewable fuels in the past.
- Partnered with a pre-eminent nutrient expert to develop the most economically and biologically efficient nutrient and growth formulae and strategies.
- Filed Provisional Patent application submission for appropriate aspects of the technology/process.
- Received investor equity funding for prototype manufacturing and completion of sourcing.
- Partnered with Georg Fischer Incorporated and Harvel Plastics to test multiple materials in identical PBR designs.
- Partnered with Wayne-Earl Manufacturing Incorporated of Placentia CA for technical assistance with building prototype PBRs and harvesters.
- Partnered with Harrington Plastics of Anaheim CA for technical assistance with materials, fittings, and component selection.
