“Advanced technology tools that allow complete synthesis of a genuinely sustainable Circular Economy”
We MAKE and DELIVER SUPERIOR 100% ORGANIC FOOD -- FISH, POULTRY, EGGS, VEGETABLES, FRUIT, HERBS AND THE NEW SUPERFOOD -- where it is otherwise unavailable LOCALLY, FRESHLY HARVESTED IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD -- and we do it less expensively and at a better quality and more reliably than anyone else in the world -- AND . . We also use up the CO2 we produce, and we have a residual of energy and pure water, which we use efficiently.
STL TECHNOLOGIES: INNER WORKINGS
70% of the world's available fresh water contributes to agriculture. Our agricultural production - which is, ironically, also producing drinking water - uses less than 5% as much water as other commonly deployed agricultural systems on a comparable output basis. 98% of wastewater produced by the world's towns and cities is not recycled as drinking water. 90% of those flows reach the ocean or evaporate - after contributing to the massive pollution now denaturing virtually every receiving drain, stream, river, lake and bay. SKILLICORN Technology recycles absolutely everything and contribute no pollution whatsoever, to the atmosphere, the land or to aquatic bodies. We extract and use (monetize), in a photosynthetically leveraged fashion, 100% of the nutrients, 100% of the energy, 100% of the water and "virtually all" of the otherwise recalcitrant chemistry inherent in wastewater. In doing so we can also effect the same transformative result on 100% of high volatiles municipal solid wastes - around 22% of the urban garbage now being collected. Our sites, in subsequent phases will be surrounded by and overlain with concentrating PV solar, thermal solar and, above them, sentinel wind energy turbines.
STL TECHNOLOGIES: THE ULTIMATE GREEN MACHINE
Skillicorn Technologies LLC uses its proprietary, 100% natural phyto-desalination and phyto-remediation technologies, respectively, to produce pure drinking water and bottled mineral water from pesticide-, herbicide- and pharmaceutical-free, brackish desert water or municipal wastewater. These do so while producing “zero water footprint” white fish, giant prawns, organic produce, bio-plastics and engineered lumbers as highly profitable by-products. Skillicorn Technologies LLC uses proprietary technologies to treat municipal wastewater at an affordable, low cost to the client community – producing only advanced quaternary quality potable water – 100% of which is recycled – as a final, treated output. As the core “engine” of the process, the new “superfood,” Lemnaceae, is grown with a close-to-zero water footprint and fed just-in-time to aqua-cultured white fish and Macrobrachium prawns in Skillicorn Technologies’ signature “zero loss” domed aquaculture and aquaponics greenhouses. Alternatively, harvested Lemnaceae is turned into bioplastics copolymers. Unlike every other system, The Skillicorn Technologies Phyto-Desalination System produces no waste brine – every drop of water is used productively and retained, either within value-added foodstuff or as drinking quality water. There are no evaporative losses, and nothing is discharged or disposed of. The system produces enough pure, chemical-free drinking water to sustain its worker community and also export bottled, 100% natural, pure mineral water.
THE PROCESS
Skillicorn Technologies has integrated known technologies into a unique commercial proposition. The paradigm shift is to view wastewater as a free stream of water containing significant amounts of energy and nutrients – and to embrace it. The system works to efficiently extract those nutrients and that energy in easily monetized forms and then polish the underlying water to “only” a potable standard. STL’s proprietary phased-sequenced anaerobic digester (AD) system breaks down volatile solids contained in primary sludge, producing a clarified stream of nutrients, methane gas and mineralized grit. Lemnaceae, the world’s most quickly growing and nutritious plants (farming of which was pioneered by STL principal, Paul Skillicorn) extract and convert nutrients in the now clarified wastewater stream into plant protein, starch, lipids, and nutritionally available minerals and vitamins. The underlying water is accordingly treated to a much higher level than can be achieved by variations of today’s ubiquitous activated sludge process. Final membrane treatment, following RF (radio frequency) irradiation to lower surface tension produces a potable final product. Methane is used in CHP-optimized gas turbines to produce electric power. The resulting thermal energy is captured and used for AD enhancement and Lemnaceae processing. The electricity generated is used internally, with the balance contributing to the grid. Nothing is discharged to the environment – whether air, land or water. A variation of The Skillicorn Technologies system can also desalinate brackish water to produce the highest quality, market-tailored, 100% natural mineral waters. This flexibility allows precise configuration of each, discrete system deployment to match the available water resource to existing or developing market demands. Lemnaceae is monetized by producing bio-plastics or employed in formulation of nutritionally optimized fish feeds and/or poultry feeds. STL’s unique thermally efficient “3-Dome” aquaponics system produces higher output of white fish, giant prawns, herbs and horticultural produce on a footprint basis than any comparable system. STL’s Ago-Solar systems, similarly allow fully integrated high rate production of hydroponically grown produce and free range poultry. This system-wide flexibility allows configuration of any STL system to match available water and wastes resources to existing or developing market demands.
