CES OxyNol Patented Process
The CES OxyNol process is a unique and proprietary technology that converts municipal solid waste and sewage sludge into ethanol or other biofuels.
Masada’ s principals have invested $45 million in technology development. The company has secured 9 domestic and 60 international patents for its core process.
The process generates eligible carbon credits for projects located in signatory countries to the United Nations sponsored Kyoto Protocol.
Demonstration Facility Operated with Institutional Partner
The CES OxyNol technology was proven at industrial scale during WWII. Four years of testing with the Tennessee Valley Authority demonstrated the viability and flexibility of Masada’s core technology.
Environmental Protection Agency Permitting Secure
The U.S. EPA determined the appropriate classification for Masada’s waste-to-ethanol technology and concluded that it is neither an incinerator nor a chemical plant.
This EPA designation is significant in terms of public acceptance of Masada’s projects and greatly accelerates the company’s ability to secure major permits for its facilities.
Initial permits for the construction of the first waste-to-ethanol facility were obtained in 2000 and renewed in 2005. The company’s application for its second renewal is pending.
Facility Design, Finance and Execution
Masada has developed an extensive engineering and design package that is adaptable for commercialization worldwide.
The company also enjoys project financing relationships with international institutions like J.P. Morgan Chase, Standard Charter Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, Seymour Pierce, and other tier one financial institutions.
Masada’s engineering and design resources are readily available for commercial deployment.
