Taronis Technologies, Inc. announced that based on recent business development efforts, the Company has elected to proceed with the construction of three new Venturi plasma arc sterilization units. All three units would be dedicated to serving the hog industry in North Carolina. The configuration and end use of each unit will differ, as follows: The first unit will be a mobile 300KW water sterilization unit. The primary purpose of this unit will be to periodically treat hog farm lagoons. The unit will be used to kill pathogens, eliminate ammonia, and otherwise improve the water quality. This unit will be specifically designed to rotate across a number of lagoons in a designated area. The second unit will be designed as a stationary 300 KW water sterilization unit. The primary purpose of this unit will be to operate continuously in tandem with an anaerobic digester at a large-scale hog farm. The objective for this unit will be to sterilize all waste water as it exits the anaerobic digester prior to entering the lagoon. The expected outcome is that if the mobile unit first treats the same lagoon, and the stationary unit is permanently treating all recycled water thereafter, the combined result will be a lagoon that is now permanently cleaner. This is also expected to have a dramatic impact on the water and air quality in close proximity to the lagoon thereafter. Lastly, the third unit would be an entirely new design for Taronis. This would be a 300 KW mobile metal reclamation plasma arc unit. The Company recently secured a patent for the recovery of dissolved metals. During the USDA funded validation project recently completed, Taronis was able to confirm that the plasma arc ionizes metals, enabling for enhanced metal recovery. This new unit will be used to test the ability to efficiently recover copper, iron, zinc, phosphorus and potassium from the sediment trapped at the bottom of lagoons. The Company may also look to experiment with an entirely new design for a 500 KW Venturi plasma arc unit for this application.
Taronis Technologies Inc., formerly MagneGas Applied Technology Solutions, Inc., is an alternative energy company. The Company creates and produces hydrogen-based alternative fuel through the gasification of carbon-rich liquids, including certain liquids and liquid wastes. The Company also markets, for sale or licensure, its plasma arc technology for the processing of liquid waste (the Plasma Arc Flow System). Its products include the fuel called MagneGas2 for the metal working industry, the equipment primarily known in the firefighting industry, known as MagneTote, and the machines that produce MagneGas2, known as Plasma Arc Flow refineries. In addition, the Company sells metal cutting fuels and ancillary products through its subsidiary, Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. a Florida corporation. It focuses on market segments, such as industrial gas sales, equipment sales for liquid waste processing and use of MagneGas2 for the co-combustion of hydro-carbon fuels to reduce emissions.
