DeCaf Company to License Patented Inexpensive Removal of MTBE From Polluted Drinking Water.MENLO PARK, Calif. -- Simple, Low-Cost Technology Removes MTBE MTBE Methyl-tert-butyl-ether Surgery An aliphatic ether that rapidly dissolves cholesterol stones in vivo, introduced under local anesthesia via a percutaneous transhepatic cholecystectomy catheter, as a non-invasive method for treating gallstones; after injection, The DeCaf Company LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , the emerging leader in the development of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. ), today announced commencement of the licensing of its patent for the removal of MTBE from contaminated contaminated, v 1. made radioactive by the addition of small quantities of radioactive material. 2. made contaminated by adding infective or radiographic materials. 3. an infective surface or object. water. Estimates of the costs to remediate America's MTBE-contaminated drinking water drinking water supply of water available to animals for drinking supplied via nipples, in troughs, dams, ponds and larger natural water sources; an insufficient supply leads to dehydration; it can be the source of infection, e.g. leptospirosis, salmonellosis, or of poisoning, e.g. run in the billions. Present remediation methods are complicated, expensive, time-consuming and inefficient. In contrast, merely running contaminated water over DeCaf Company's patented polymer beads removes MTBE. The patented method is simple. Inexpensive polymer beads are molecularly imprinted to match the physical shape of MTBE molecules. When contaminated water comes in contact with the molecularly imprinted polymer beads (MIPS), the MTBE molecules adhere to the MIPS removing MTBE from the water. "This is an economical alternative to present remediation methods. It is environmentally friendly, using cheap polymer beads rather than charcoal that requires the killing and burning of countless trees. We are proud to introduce it to America," said DeCaf Company CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Mel Stuckey. "We are looking forward to taking this extraordinary patent to market. Inexpensive technology is here and benefiting the environment, economy and America's drinking water," said PatentBridge CEO Mark Holmes. The Decaf Company LLC (California) is an advanced polymers research and prototype company that has invented and patented high-tech polymers. DeCaf is the owner of U.S. Patent 6,783,686.
