After years of research and development, scientists in Thailand have discovered a new technology called Advanced Plasma Oxidation (APO) that uses ozone generated through corona plasma to oxidize liquids in a cost-effective way. The APO system can purify and break down liquids into new molecular compounds, allowing for innovative industrial applications such as treating contaminated wastewater, improving small-scale gold mining yields in Ghana, processing jatropha oil for diesel engines, and extracting minerals and oils from coal. The researchers are seeking partners to further develop applications of the APO technology.

1. Technology breakthrough in Thailand
Advanced Plasma Oxidation (APO)
Bangkok, May 30, 2011
After years of hands on Research and Development our small group of Scientists
based in Thailand have discovered a new way to oxidize liquids with Ozone (O3) through
what we call Advanced Plasma Oxidation (APO) technology.
Ozone generation using cold plasma is well known but it requires a lot of energy and
cooling which is not the case with our APO equipped with a very cost effective Corona
Plasma set up without a separate oxygen feed as traditional cold plasma generators.
Different materials used for the Corona core and glass tube allows the generation of
different Plasma oxidation frequencies creating the adequate molecular string for
component separation within a given liquid
Through its special proprietary design our APO system can be fed not only with air as
traditional O3 generators but as well with different liquids through its Plasma field
which will then break them down into new molecular compounds.
It is a very economical way to purify and distillate different kind of liquids hence creating
new strains of molecules and innovative industrial applications.
Note that Ozone O3 will oxidize most metals except gold, platinum, and iridium
Identified immediate applications within specific industries
1. Heavily contaminated waste water treatment
Clean contaminated water and at the same time produce through the oxidation
process new materials (depending on the pollutants) which can be safely
recycled
2. Small scale Alluvia Gold Mining (Ghana pilot)
Traditional wash plants are not properly designed, the amount of water used is
too high, and most of the gold sticks to the clay and washed away.
With our APO system:
- The water we feed through the wash plants is highly oxidized and the
negative charge contained within it rips the clay of his bonding property,
the fine Gold particles are released and can be collected easily. A much
higher Gold yield is therefore guaranteed
- The oxidized water is freed of Bacteria, Virus and Mold which is
contained within the alluvial matter
- We reduce the fuel bill for the miners by up to 50% by using less water
2. - The oxidized material left over after Gold extraction can be used to build
roads, fish ponds (fish thrive in oxidized water; proven in our Malaysia
pilot farms) chicken huts whatever may be suitable for the community to
relay on when the mine is depleted
3. Jatropa Oil http://www.jatrophabiodiesel.org/aboutJatrophaPlant.php
processed with our APO can be used directly in diesel engines.
Note: used motor oil recycling would be another close field of development
4. Coal can be grinded into powder, mixed into specially charged water and then
cracked by the APO system where minerals and oils within the coal could be
separated and extracted. Further detailed R&D need to be made but we have
the Technological entry door
We are seeking transparent win-win Global or Regional partners interested in
developing a long term and mutually beneficial way forward.
Detailed Business plan presentation, technical discussion and visual demonstration
using pilot units (located in both Thailand & Ghana) can be organized on very short
notice
