Company Summary

We have developed an environmentally friendly method for separating oil or bitumen from sand or other minerals. The separation occurs at ambient temperatures and does not result in the generation of waste process water. Our goal is to license the technology to users. We are looking for partners/investors that are capable of establishing a presence in Canada.
