BioCentric Energy Announces Major Algae Growth in PBR Systems After Tubing Enhancements
29 Juin 2010 - 12:30PM
BioCentric Energy Holdings, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:BEHL) announced MAJOR algae growth in the company's closed
loop PhotoBioreactor systems after significant enhancements to the
tubing materials.
Company President Monique Berry stated today,
"I am pleased to announce the following results as a major
improvement to our PBR closed Loop systems tubing
enhancements."
Ms. Berry stated, "Within a week of inoculating the commercial
test PBR system at the Company's headquarters in Santa Ana, CA, the
algae has grown and is thriving exceeding all projections and
expectations. With the controlled exposure of the sun's rays,
nutrients, water, temperature control and other elements, the
company's closed-loop system created a perfect environment for the
algae to grow at an enhanced level."

Currently the PBR hardware and components have been optimized
and are requiring minimal maintenance and supervision. BioCentric
lab technicians are monitoring the pH levels and recording the
algae vital stats 24/7.
Although the Company has replaced the former plastic tubing with
highly robust durable plastic tubing (warrantied for 2
years) BioCentric Energy is extremely confident in their
PBR systems ability and IP to consistently grow mass quantities of
algae in a sterile environment at surpassed levels offered by
competitors. BioCentric Energy's Field Operations Director, Jose
Sanchez, has been validating the algae production in the commercial
demo PBR this past week and stated, "We have met and surpassed the
commercial production rates for growing algae beyond all previous
levels of expectation."
BioCentric Energy's secondary gravity-fed PBR
system also located at the Company's Santa Ana, CA headquarters is
now operational and will be inoculated with a proprietary algae
strain within the week. This PBR system will test the growth rates
and nutrient requirements in a commercial environment.
The Company's first commercial JV site located in DVJ (Death
Valley Junction CA) , is progressing as planned and BioCentric
Energy is meeting all projected timelines for the project. After
the successful deployment of the 4 CAB (controlled algae
basin) liners last week, BioCentric Energy Founder Dennis
Fisher enthusiastically commented, "Earlier we confirmed that the
DVJ site had a plentiful water source that would be used in the CAB
to keep the algae cool and at a stable temperature. Surprisingly,
the water is 15 degrees colder than anticipated. This will greatly
help with the cooling operation and may increase the growth rate of
the algae."
In the weeks prior to July 7th, (the anticipated
delivery date for the enhanced PBR plastic tubing) the
Company's lab technicians will be working assiduously to scale up
algae inoculum for the Wall Unit and Cubes. When the new PBR
system is operational, the algae inoculum from these units
(Wall and Cubes) will be placed into BioCentric
Energy's PBR system. This will also serve as the inoculum that will
be delivered and used at the DVJ site.
Ms. Berry further commented, "As today is the
last Tuesday of the month, the Company will be releasing its "In
Touch Tuesday Newsletter" to all shareholders subscribing to the
mailing list. To receive the BioCentric Energy newsletter please
