Ceres Ventures, Inc., a development stage company, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, BluFlow Technologies, Inc. (BluFlow) and Nascent Water Technologies Inc. (Nascent), focuses on the research, development, and commercialization of technologies for the remediation of polluted water, soil, and air.
Products
The company, through its agreement with Applied Power Concepts, Inc. (APC), a California based bio-chemical engineering firm, has developed the patent pending BluFlow Treatment System, a clean tech water treatment solution, which incorporates intellectual property (IP) directly or indirectly controlled by the company, including the BluFlow Nanoparticles and the BluFlow Advanced Ultrafiltration Technology (the ‘BluFlow AUT’) to target and remove valuable elements, compounds and pollutants from water, and to purify water so that it may be suitable for reuse.
The BluFlow Treatment System provides a single integrated system that simultaneously permits the removal of target chemicals/pollutants or valuable elements and compounds while purifying the remaining water with minimal reject wastewater.
Applications
Treatment of Cleaning Contaminated Groundwater with the BluFlow Treatment System: In instances where a well may be contaminated with arsenic and contain hard water, the BluFlow Treatment System would both remove the arsenic and then reduce the hardness of the water making it usable for water applications with minimal reject water.
Industrial Wastewater Treatment with the BluFlow Treatment System: The BluFlow Treatment System treats industrial water by targeting and removing the offending chemical contaminant(s) which can then be removed and disposed of in compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Moreover, the BluFlow AUT component of the system can further purify between 85% and 95% the cleaned water and send it back to the manufacturing plant for reuse in the industrial process.
Utilizing the BluFlow Treatment System To Extract Valuable Elements and Compounds: The capability of customizing the BluFlow Nanoparticles to target specific valuable elements and compounds would be of use to these potential customers. Additionally, the BluFlow AUT reduces corrosion and buildup of biofilms, thereby reducing the need for repairs and clean outs.
Research and Development
The company’s research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $201,553.
