OriginOil, Inc. has received a firm order for a large-scale algae extraction system from MBD Energy, Ltd. The order follows recent collaborative trials of OriginOil\u2019s equipment focused on optimizing capacity to handle large volumes of algae continuously. The new system on order is one of the largest next-generation extraction systems of its kind in the world. The equipment is expected to process up to 1100 liters (300 gallons) per minute of algae culture continuously, enough to process the daily harvest at MBD\u2019s upcoming one hectare site at Queensland\u2019s Tarong power station.<\/p>\n
With this firm new equipment order, OriginOil will approach its forecast of $1 million in booked sales for products and services in 2011.<\/p>\n
According to Andrew Lawson, MBD\u2019s Managing Director, they are currently installing the first hectare of their project at Tarong Power Station in Queensland and OriginOil\u2019s equipment will help them efficiently harvest and process the very large volumes of algae biomass and the project provides a strong base for MBD Energy and OriginOil to prosper as a result of a growing pipeline of large-scale CO2<\/sub> to Energy Algal Synthesizer installation projects at power stations and other emitters in Australia and around the world.<\/p>\n
