What do you know about Planet Resource Recovery and their PetroLuxusTM product? http://www.planetresource.net/index.html

I'm "aware" of the Vapor Pulse technology, but there's not a lot of information or even industry "buzz" out there about it. What I've read and heard, however, points to some limitations.

The first issue is ease of use relative to PetroLuxus. Any experienced driller can learn to use PetroLuxus in a few hours. Second, there is very little fron end investment for the driller compared to the PetroLuxus treatment.

Third is cost per well/cost per barrel cost still is much higher with the Vapor Pulse. Has Shell worked out its pricing problem?

Fourth, even if Vapor Pulse works in the "wells" it lacks the broader applicability for oil cleanup such as in the holds of oil tankers or for environmental restoration.

I know you are a good and loyal Shell employee, so you are going to advocate for your employer (and will bank on their continued success). That being said, the PetroLuxus genie is coming out of the bottle first (Vapor Pulse isn't that clost to deployment and distribution). Early market penetration is going to count and unless Vapor Pulse can match up on features and cost with PetroLuxus it will have a huge uphill battle to fight.

Need to re-phrase. PetroLuxus has lower front end investment than Vapor pulse.

HOUSTON, Aug 18, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:PRRY) is pleased to provide update on collaboration with Affordable Bio Feedstock (ABF) that commenced on May 28, 2008.

After representatives from both companies jointly completed testing and evaluation of processes and techniques for utilizing Planet Resource Recovery, Inc.'s premier product, PetroLuxus(TM), for separation and recovery of oils from trap grease and other sources for waste grease, ABF launched into the construction of their pilot plant in July. To date, ABF is approximately 75 percent completed and is estimated to be online by mid-September 2008.

ABF has designed and is constructing a pilot plant to process 20,000 gallons per day of waste trap brown grease in the Orlando, Florida area. Septic Tank companies collecting brown waste grease from the food service industry, schools, hotels, penitentiaries, etc. will now have a cost-effective solution to dispose of their collected waste. Once treated with PetroLuxus and processed in the pilot plant, ABF will be able to harvest the oils to provide an affordable bio feedstock to the biodiesel industry. Additionally significant is that the water with entrained brown grease can be recycled as opposed to current costly disposal methods.

Based on market research, the State of Florida alone will require approximately 110 plants to treat and process waste brown grease. ABF's technology has been developed solely around the efficacy of PetroLuxus(TM) and will be an additional revenue stream for Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. representatives will meet with ABF at the end of August to execute a long-term contract. Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. will work exclusively with ABF for the treatment of waste brown grease in the United States.

The Houston Chronicle article on Planet Resource Recovery and it products got bumped for an article on T. Boone Pickens wind power proposal - - - waiting for an update from my sources on what was behind it.

Jack

The Houston Chronicle article will appear this Sunday.

Time to keep an eye on Planet Resource Recovery. They are expanding manufacturing capacity by 500% and are acquiring 200 oil leases. I also believe that venture capital is in the very near future. Nothing factuals, just a strong hunch.

I am glad we have Vampy in this group. It would take me a long time to dig out that info.

As usual, I will tout hydrogen as the ultimate renewable, non poluting energy. I would like to know more info on some of the secret projects that are going on in countries like china, japan, and a few others on their plans to return to the moon. Helium3 it seems has shown itself to be the new miricle fuel. The moon is full of it and it seems it is valuable enough to rush back to the moon to mine it. I wonder what kind of new cold war scenerio it will set off when countries start laying claim to areas of the moon.

I think that Helium and Hydrogen are going to be in our future. So will compressed natural gas (CNG). The problem we are facing is a near term crisis in readily available and usable fuel that matches our existing infrastructure. VampyGal already has pointed to some new technologies that will enhance the clean burning of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines. Making these affordable is a significant challenge.

All of this being acknowledged, and readiliy admitting their advantages for the environment, they are not near term. None of these can be brought on line in less than 10 years. What I'm seeing in PetroLuxus is a product that will provide lots of American oil witihn the next two years without drilling a single new well. About 60% of the oil in the U.S. has been inaccessible because it is trapped in clay, rock, dirt, etc. PetroLuxus cleanly, and in an environmentally friendly way, releases this oil from these environments.

If all that the current formula PetroLuxus does in our current wells, marginally producing wells, and closed wells is to release just half of what we have - - - the U.S. won't need to import a drop of oil for the next 50+ years. This includes reducing the cost of brine water cleanup for our offshore rigs. If Planet Resources completes its oil tar sands and oil shale product formulas by next summer (2009), the U.S. is positioned to have enough oil for the next 300+ years from those sources alone. When combined with the CNG that also can be extracted concurrently with the oil, we no longer will have an energy crisis nor will we be dependent on foreign oil - - - and that includes Canadian oil that then can be exported to other countries.

From a foreign policy perspective, this also makes the Middle East irrelevant to U.S. interests. They can sell to someone else. We won't be their economic hostage any longer. As for Russia and China, they are solving their own energy problems and they are doing it very well with coal, oil, gas, and every other resource they can bring to bear. More power to them with no pun intended. When energy supply is plentiful and exceeds demand, prices will drop. That is good for everyone.

Our challenge to to use this energy efficiently and with as little damage to the environment as possible. The envirowhackos want to end the use of fossil fuels entirely. It's not going to happen. Change will happen and human progress will continue. Our solutions lies in how we use oil and gas, and not in whether or not we will have it available for our use.

HOUSTON, Oct 21, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: PRRY) is pleased to announce the successful pre-treatment of flow back water originating in the Barnett Shale of Central Texas. Building on successful testing beginning in early 2008 to remove barium from contaminated produced water from South America, Planet Resource has treated and successfully removed heavy metals and other solids from flowback water, produced water, and ground water runoff by initiation of an (EC) electrocoagulation process used in conjunction with its proprietary chemical solution, PetroLuxus(TM). Through the EC process PetroLuxus(TM) works on a nano scale to penetrate even the smallest particles removing entrained oil, suspended metals and other adulterates from the contaminated water. Once the pretreatment is completed, further treatment by distillation, evaporation or mechanical means will result in reclaiming the water for other uses.

Discovered in 1981, the Barnett Shale (field) encompasses five thousand square miles, across 18 counties near Dallas / Ft. Worth, Texas. This is one of the largest natural gas deposits in the United States. It boasts plentiful gas reserves estimated at greater than 27 trillion cubic feet. To extract the gas at volumes that are economical and efficient, production companies must use the hydraulic fracturing process. The process utilizes millions of gallons of water for each well. The process greatly increases the permeability and the release of trapped gas deposits. Of the water pumped into the wells approximately 80 percent of the water returns to the surface. Historically, the recovered water is discarded in disposal wells due to its saline and other contaminated contents. The cost of current wastewater disposal processes is in excess of $1.2 billion dollars per year to the industry. The gas industry, in partnership with communities and regulatory agencies, has become more aggressive about testing and employing measures to conserve and recycle the water.

Industry, drilling companies, oil and gas producers, refineries, and chemical plants produce millions of gallons of wastewater daily that is contaminated with a variety of pollutants. Treatment and disposal costs rank in the billions of dollars annually and often focus on disposal as opposed to reclamation. The consequence is declining water supplies and disposal issues.

Planet Resource Recovery's Research and Development team continue to study and test water treatment with a wide variety of other contaminants including; chromium, titanium, sodium chloride, arsenic, mercury, and other harmful or toxic adulterates. The Company is working to develop clients for further testing and application in other water treatment applications.

With this product development, Planet Resource Recovery continues its commitment to develop products that provide solutions to better enhance the recovery, reclamation, and productive value of oil and water resources. Planet Resource Recovery is dedicated to development and expansion of environmentally friendly products that can be partnered with current processes to reduce waste and increase recovery of basic resources. As the developer and producer of these innovative products, Planet Resource Recovery is equally committed to find and promote relationships with industry leaders to test and utilize the products in areas where problems exist.

This Planet Resource Recovery sounds like a property to watch. I've read about them a bit today and I like what I am reading. Their theories seem sound and with an expansion projection of 500% they appear to be moving in the right direction.

If you are thinking about buying their stock, I'd do it sooner rather than later. It was trading at $0.17 per share yesterday, BUT they have announced their intention to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This alone will take the price per share up over $1.00 per share. I suspect that this will happen very soon. In addition, and if I'm guessing right that they have venture capital money coming, they'll announce that before the list on the NYSE - - - the issue is that no one knows when that announcement is coming. When it does that also will drive up the price BEFORE the NYSE listing.

Obviously your call and with all the risks of a penny stock, but I'm in for 100,000 shares. I bought as much because of my belief in the products and their impact as for the return. That being said, my personal opinion is that this stock may climb to $20.00 per share or more. Guess I'm something of a gambler on that count.

America being left behind.

Not a waste of money. Everyone knows the importance of Helium3.

The problem with Helium3 is it a rare substance. hard to find. They say there are large reserves on the moon but good luck getting it.

Rare on earth. Tons of it on the moon. This is the reason everyone is trying so hard to get there and stake a claim. Its value as a fusion fuel and the near perfection of mass drivers will make its mining practical. All of those countries aren't spending that money for nothing.
