CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Sept. 13, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- CSMG Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:CTUM) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued patent No. 6,929,680, "CO2 Separator Method and Apparatus," for its landfill gas processing platform technology.
Don Robbins, CEO of CSMG Technologies, said, "The patent continues to build our intellectual property position for CSMG Technologies, and we are enthusiastic about the economic opportunity this technology brings to the landfill gas processing industry markets."
The CO2 separation technology processes low-quality raw landfill gas that is approximately 50% carbon dioxide and other gases and 50% methane into a usable commercial gas quality.
The ASME-certified 177-metric-ton technology complex includes compressors and technology for separating and removing high levels of CO2 content from raw landfill methane gas resulting in a quality methane gas suitable for the commercial natural gas market. The technology's efficiency is derived from an advanced technique that absorbs carbon dioxide and other impurities from the gas, rather than using a series of filters or membranes that become clogged over time.
Unlike competing high-BTU landfill gas processing systems that require 4,000 to 6,000 cubic feet per minute (cfm) to be economically viable during a soft gas market, the CSMG CO2 separation technology requires 1,750 to 2,000 cfm to be economically viable for a soft gas market.
CSMG Technologies owns the CO2 separation technology for landfill gas production.
CSMG has offices in Corpus Christi, Texas; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Washington D.C.; Atlanta, Ga.; and Kiev, Ukraine.
