SSTP can now convert municipal waste into clean, usable energy; not only that, but it can be produced cost efficiently. Through SSTP’s technology, municipal waste is processed and converted into biofuel. Any and all societies could benefit from this. One rather interesting aspect of this production phase was that the waste facility actually paid SSTP to collect the waste. The waste material is then converted into oil and used to power a generator that produces electricity. This means that not only does it not cost SSTP a single cent to produce a gallon of fuel oil, SSTP produces a 65 cent profit for every gallon produced in transforming municipal waste. This is a potentially world-changing process. A cost effective, clean burning fuel that puts no strain on the environment and at the same time, provides benefits to the communities that use them is a huge deal.

Vertroleum® is created through “chemical hydrolysis with a modified pyrolysis and the use of nano bacteria.” This is called the “Rivera Process.” It contains the same hydrocarbons as crude oil, a mixture of hydrocarbons C-5 pentane thru C-20 eicosane. When used in the same distillation process employed by petroleum companies, Vertroleum can be further refined to produce a biogasoline (BG-100), a substitute for gasoline E85 in flexible-fuel vehicles, biokerosene (jet fuel), a diesel blendstock naptha (an octane enhancer), heating fuel, refined diesel, tars and plastics. The company’s biocrude oil can also be refined into 69 other renewable fuels or chemical materials as certified by AmSpec. In addition, AmSpec verified that most of the bio-crude “cuts” meet or exceed ASTM standards for petroleum products using the standard additives for the industry whereby the product doesn’t need tier testing.

SSTP is now looking at expansion by placing factories in Central America, Sweden, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. SSTP is looking for potential partners to facilitate growth both domestically and abroad. Equally important though, it would like to be able to offer the potential of placing processing plants throughout third world countries on a global scale. Even one fully operational SSTP factory in a depressed country could make a significant difference to the economy and standard of living there.
