Regulatory News:

ATI Petroleum (Euronext: MLATP), the petroleum exploration management and operations company, is excited to announce that the US Department of Commerce has awarded it the first patent for bioreactor technology. The bioreactor technology was created through a collaborative effort with the US Department of Energy, the EPA, and ATI Petroleum's renewable energy division.

ATI Petroleum has conducted bioreactor trials in five locations including; one in Bakersfield, Georgia, USA, and four additional pilot plants in Vietnam. All five pilot plants are capable of generating clean renewable energy, and reducing greenhouse gases and leakage from landfills to nearly zero. Most impressively, the bioreactor trials found that not only does the technology reduce greenhouse gas effects and carbon footprint, it also reduces the waste cycle time for landfills from 40 years to no more than a 4 year decomposition time.

In the bioreactor trials, ATI Petroleum's engineers focused on operating, for purposes of commercializing, biogas technologies to decompose various types of biological material such as algae, farm animal waste, food waste, and municipal waste. Remarkably, in addition to decomposition the methane fumes collected from the waste are also contained and converted into useable electricity generation.

?ATI Petroleum's new model of biotechnology will revolutionize the process of converting biomass waste to electricity, while simultaneously protecting the environment – both on the land and in the air,? said Dr. Huu Duc Dinh, CEO and founder of ATI Petroleum's parent company, American Technologies, Inc.
