Renewable Resources - Resodyn Corporation's chemical process technology extends to many areas including renewable resources. Three examples include Biodiesel Fuel Production, Chemical Pulping of Wheat Straw, and Aeration and Purification of Aquaculture Ponds.

Resodyn Corporation has developed a biodiesel fuel production process based on chemical conversion technology to take waste grease (such as restaurant yellow grease) containing high levels of free fatty acids and converting it directly to methyl esters of the fatty acid molecules; these methyl esters (biodiesel). The process for performing this conversion also produces high grade/high value glycerin and fertilizer.

    Features:
•  Continuous flow process
•  Uses low cost readily available feedstock
•  Byproducts are high value

    Benefits:
•  Process can use very high fatty acid content greases
•  Glycerin byproduct is very pure
•  Supply of feed stock is expected to increase
•  Governmental legislation favors production

    Applications:
•  Rendering facilities
•  Waste grease collection repositories
•  Sewage treatment facilities

Resodyn Corporation's wheat straw chemical pulping technology turns wheat straw (field residue after harvesting) into pulp which can be used for specialty applications where non chlorine bleached paper is required or desired. The pulping operation is an environmentally friendly (green) process that produces a product from waste that can be sold at a premium.

    Features:
•  Produces chlorine bleach free paper pulp
•  Environmentally friendly
•  Suited to system of small operations
•  High brightness
•  Potential for other byproducts

    Benefits:
•  Provides extra income to farmers/ranchers for waste product
•  Alternative to burning that is becoming environmentally unacceptable or banned
•  High quality product gets premium price
•  Conserve trees
•  Domestic source
•  Provides rural area jobs

    Applications:
•  Farmer co-operatives
•  Indian Tribes
•  Corporate farms

Resodyn Corporation's aquaculture chemical processes are oriented at providing clean water that is properly aerated to populations of aquatic species being raised in farms (both closed loop and recirculating farms). These processes are enhanced by ResonantSonics® that is exceptional at dissolving oxygen into water. The removal of waste products such as ammonia (using ResonantSonics® enhanced IX beds) is also greatly enhanced by ResonantSonics®.

    Features:
•  High oxygenation levels possible
•  Solids can be rapidly removed
•  Efficient ozone transfer for cost effective disinfection
•  Carbon dioxide stripping

    Benefits:
•  Additional fish production in reduced space (high population density)
•  Less disease associated with inadequate waste removal
•  Lower net cost

    Applications:
•  Fish farms
•  Shrimp farms
•  Aquariums
•  Ballast water disinfection
•  Waste treatment facilities
