GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY, INC. & PROVECTUS ENGINEERED MATERIALS LTD. CONCLUDE INITIAL TESTINGS FOR REDUCTION AND REMOVAL OF SULFER FROM OIL

Rhea-AI Summary

Global Clean Energy, Inc. and Provectus Engineered Materials Ltd. conclude initial testing for reduction and removal of sulfur from oil

Positive

• The first-round testing of high sulfur fuel oil resulted in a 13% reduction in sulfur

Negative

• None.

HOUSTON, Aug. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Clean Energy, Inc. (OTC PINK: GCEI) is a developer of Green Technology projects that will provide clean energy in various forms without negative carbon emissions or footprints.

Provectus Engineered Materials Ltd. uses patented low frequency sonication technology providing unique platforms for process engineering. Provectus currently holds 6 granted patents for mechanical and sono-chemical grinding and separation techniques using patented low frequency sonication technology providing unique platforms of process engineering for mechanical and sono-chemical grinding and separation techniques.

Global Clean Energy, Inc. (GCEI") has entered into a Joint Venture with Provectus Engineered Materials Ltd ("Provectus") by securing the rights and patents for their Sonication technology for the purposes of reducing sulfur in crude oil and removing oil from oil sand tailings. The first-round testing of high sulfur fuel oil utilizing the Sonication technology from Provectus has been concluded. The initial round of throughput and floatation resulted in a 13% reduction in sulfur.

Additional testing will be executed going forward with multiple catalysts which have a history of reducing sulfur in fuel oil. The goal is to create the right mixture of catalysts along with the robust process capability of the Sonication technology to offer to the oil markets a modular solution to substantially reduce sulfur content in fuel oil. 

Testing for oil separation from oil sands tailings will begin shortly. GCE has been approached to develop sulfur reduction projects in the US and Canada along with development of oil separation from oil sands tailings at multiple locations upon successful completion of the testing. The goal of this joint venture is to have a portfolio of sulfur reduction and oil separation projects throughout the US and Canada. The joint venture allows GCE to utilize commercialized technology to take advantage of emerging growth sectors.
