PetroLuxus™

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

PetroLuxus™ is trade name for a family of proprietary compounds developed by Planet Resource Recovery, Incorporated (the "Company"). PetroLuxus™ utilizes nano-scale technology to interact with the bonding of metals and hydrocarbons from a wide variety of materials found in most man made and naturally occurring environments including soil and water. The unique characteristics of these products are based on their ability to affect ionic exchanges between materials, scavenge oxygen, increase wetting and reduce interfacial surface tension.

The base formulations of PetroLuxus™ can be used in most applications requiring the separation of hydrocarbons from other materials by interacting with the adsorption¹ properties of the different materials. 

The PetroLuxus™ family of products are water-soluble and rapidly disperse when introduced to water or oil to make contact with the target materials, hydrocarbons or metals, while initiating an ionic exchange that disrupts and effects the bonding between the targeted undesirable materials and the surrounding materials.  The products are chemically active and readily bond to target metals while acting as a coagulant and flocculent to allow precipitation of the metals for separation and removal. At the microscopic level PetroLuxus™ forms bonds with the targeted materials and creates a crystalline structure on their surface. In specific situations this "encapsulation" can render the materials undetectable and inert.

There are fourteen PetroLuxus™ products to-date, that have been developed in distinct formulations, each of which has a unique profile and can be used selectively to achieve reduction of a variety of undesirable materials and metals entrained in soil and water. Each formulation has specific characteristics related to oxidation-reduction potential and conductivity that is focused to effectively reduce certain metal concentrations and to liberate hydrocarbon contamination with significant, proven efficiency for recovery of both desirable and undesirable targeted materials and thus reducing disposal issues. The PetroLuxus™ products have been formulated to separate specific targeted materials, allowing for both the removal and reclamation of targeted materials and increasing the potential for beneficial reuse of valuable captured resources.

PetroLuxus™ products are formulated from naturally occurring compounds and are environmentally friendly, safe to apply, cost effective, non-flammable and non-hazardous. The products are designed to be biodegradable and will dissipate into the environment in a non-toxic state, thus presenting no ongoing hazard.

¹ Adsorption: is the accumulation of atoms or molecules on the surface of a material. This process creates a film of the absorbate (the molecules or atoms being accumulated) on the absorbent's surface. It is different from absorption, in which a substance diffuses into a liquid or solid to form a solution. The term sorption encompasses both processes, while desorption is the reverse process.
