For over nine decades, groundbreaking air adsorption technology (often referred as "Ad") has been at the forefront of revolutionizing various industrial processes. It was developed by Dow Chemicals (USA) in the 1930s, and has come a long way, evolving and adapting to meet the ever-changing needs of industries around the world.
Since its inception, Ad has seen continuous updates and enhancements, pushing the boundaries of efficiency and performance from initial 30% to a current 70%. Over the years, it has become an indispensable tool for a wide range of applications, from environmental control to gas separation and purification.
Our commitment to staying at the cutting edge of this technology has allowed us to harness its power, ensuring that we use the most efficient and effective industry proven solutions.
In the realm of a hundred year old air adsorption technology, it might be tempting to think that there's little room for innovation. However, that assumption couldn't be further from the truth! Take, for example, the combustion engine, which was initially invented in 1872. Today, it has evolved in ways that were unimaginable back then.
At Reclaimed Minerals and our technology partner company Iodine Star, we share this unwavering commitment to progress and improvement. We are confident that in the near future, we will unveil a series of proprietary upgrades that will revolutionize air adsorption technology. These advancements will not only enhance our efficiency but also shape the industry's future, thanks to a constant process of chemical development and mechanical upgrades aimed at squeezing every ounce of production efficiency.
In the interim, to provide our valued stakeholders, including investors, technology partners and government bodies, with a clear and dependable metric, we adhere to a standard efficiency range of 68% for winter time Oklahoma and 70% for summer time Oklahoma and Texas. This commitment to transparency and reliability underscores our dedication to achieving excellence in our field.
