Technology
The Principle is Based on Symbiosis between Bacteria & Fungi
Innovation and Patent:
1. We ‘fuse’ capable bacteria and fungi together to give them properties they don’t possess individually,
2. We place both in an environment where they are not normally found,
3. We control the complete process until we achieve the desired outcome.
Why It Works
Bio-cracking provides the energy to stay alive and multiply:
Given the right conditions, both bacteria and fungi grow exponentially, i.e. the next generation has double the size of the predecessor.
Energy balance: − YcatΔGcat − YanΔGan − ΔGdiss = 0
with Y… growth yield | ΔG… Gibbs free energy | cat… catabolism | an… anabolism | diss… disassociation.
How It Works
Exponential microbial & eukaryotic growth is key to fast treatment!
Given the right conditions, both bacteria and fungi grow exponentially, i.e. the next generation has double the size of the predecessor.
The Technology
Imagine an average molecule of C₇₀H₁₄₂ to illustrate mechanism
A reaction like this would greatly reduce viscosity
C₇₀H₁₄₂ + H₂ → 2 C₃₅H₇₂
This requires two steps:
1. Disassociation of C-C bonds
2. Closing the open C-bonds with hydrogen atoms
None of this happens by just mixing the above constituents!
Our technology performs 1. and 2. by microbial cracking of the C-C bonds utilizing high H/C ratio substrates—fast, cost efficient, with low energy needs, low GHG emissions, and highly scalable!
How much hydrogen for one metric ton of C₇₀H₁₄₂
C₇₀H₁₄₂ + H₂ → 2 C₃₅H₇₂
The molar mass of C₇₀H₁₄₂ is approximately:
M₍C₇₀H₁₄₂₎ = (70 × 12) + (142 × 1) = 982 g/mol
Moles of C₇₀H₁₄₂ = 1,000,000 g / 982 g/mol ≈ 1018.33 mol
The molar mass of hydrogen (H₂) is approximately 2 g/mol
1 mol of each constituent is required to balance equation
→ Mass of H₂ = 1018.33 mol × 2 g/mol = 2036.66 g = 2.04 kg
Substrate hydrogen carbon ratio (H/C ratio) should be > 2.2
Good hydrogen sources are CH₄ through C₁₀H₂₂ or, even better, elemental hydrogen.
