Prospero Minerals Corp. is creating energy and water with new technologies

NEW YORK --- 2008, June 27th: Prospero Minerals Corp. will be able to present a new development step of their water and wind technology to the public.

As Mr. Hubert Pinder, CFO of Prospero Minerals Corp. declares “Instead of using electricity or other environmentally polluting fossil fuels to create the energy to clean water, our ‘WETTECH’ systems clean and purify water from any source and produce electricity as a by-product of the process, producing both POWER & WATER.”  

Inside WETTECH you will find the Advanced Cavitation Technology. So the “WETTECH” Water & Energy Turbine Technology operating system is the application system created by combining the “MIC” technology with a wind turbine and a steam turbine, which used together, produces steam from ocean, lake, river, well, or any impure water source, which will purify the water for drinking while the steam turbine generates electricity.

Our vision and mission is “to bring fresh water so people will have a future to live”, said Mr. Pinder in the interview. And even if you image, how many regions in the world are dependent from water and industrialized water making processes. Why not to change this technical and energy-intensive process with a really outstanding and especially independent new technology. It could be change some things.

Press release:
Thirsty? How 'bout a cool, refreshing cup of seawater?

No, don't take us literally! Humans cannot drink saline water. But, saline water can be made into freshwater, which everyone needs everyday. The process is called desalination, and it is being used more and more around the world to provide people with needed freshwater.

Most of the United States has, or can gain access to, ample supplies of fresh water for drinking purposes. But, fresh water can be in short supply in some parts of the country (and world). And, as the population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often, if only in certain locations. In some areas, salt water (from the ocean, for instance) is being turned into freshwater for drinking.

One method to desalinate seawater is the "reverse osmosis" method. Right now, the high cost of desalinization has kept it from being used more often, as it can cost over $1,000 per acre-foot to desalinate seawater as compared to about $200 per acre-foot for water from normal supply sources. Desalinization technology is improving and costs are falling, though, and Tampa Bay, FL is currently desalinizing water at a cost of only $650 per acre foot.

Water that is saline contains significant amounts (referred to as "concentrations") of dissolved salts. In this case, the concentration is the amount (by weight) of salt in water, as expressed in "parts per million" (ppm). If water has a concentration of 10,000 ppm of dissolved salts, then one percent (10,000 divided by 1,000,000) of the weight of the water comes from dissolved salts.

Here are our parameters for saline water:

  • Fresh water - Less than 1,000 ppm
  • Slightly saline water - From 1,000 ppm to 3,000 ppm
  • Moderately saline water - From 3,000 ppm to 10,000 ppm
  • Highly saline water - From 10,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm

By the way, ocean water contains about 35,000 ppm of salt.

Splitting water and salt

Image a container near the sea, small and simple. In it you will find the so called Advanced Cavitation Technology (ACT) devices. They employ a disc wafer type impeller which features surface irregularities in the form of bore hole specifically designed to cause cavitation to occur.

Every device is designed in such a manner as to control size, oscillation, composition, duration and implosion of the bubble.  Fluid pumped into the device is subjected to the relative motion between the impeller and the device housing, and exits the device at increased temperature.

So ACT is thermodynamically highly efficient. The cavitation bubbles are formed as the low-pressure boundary layer of the water in contact with the surface of the rapidly spinning impeller is swept over the lip of the bores. This is similar to water flowing around a sharp bend in a pipe, where the pressure on the outside (concave wall) of the curve is higher that that on the inside (concave wall), where cavitation can occur.

In the pipe the bubbles would be carried away by the movement of the fluid, but in the ACT unit the design is sufficient to maintain the location of the bubble until it implodes releasing the desired temperature. Additionally as the harmonics of the device come into play the bubbles began to oscillate and continue to reform and collapse. Bubble size and collapse are the results of the specifics of the unit design, causing millions of cavitation bubbles to form and collapse simultaneously.

These devices accordingly provide efficient, simple, inexpensive and reliable sources of distilled potable water for residential, commercial and industrial use.

This opens numerous possibilities for applications of the technology. The direct distillation of sea water for the production of potable drinking water throughout the world, chemical reclamation through temperature-related separation and pasteurization of food related products without scorching, and environmental remediation at on site locations and the production of H2O2 directly from water and hydrogen separation from seawater or gasoline. Additionally, direct distillation and cracking in the petroleum industry, and many other possible applications.

Today, the Advanced Cavitation Technology is a compact self contained unit that can be free standing or placed inside a container for ease of shipment and installation.

Allowing the liquid to become the heat source, rather than a hot surface as in conventional applications eliminates the problems of scale build-up and fouling associated with the heating or impure liquids.

Wind powered units could be installed along the coast or off shore for the production of drinking water from sea water while making electricity as the steam from the distillation process is condensed.

Our plans for generating the power for rotation of the pump will range from solar power to a new advanced windmill power system.

One of our planned Beta Sites will be at Whale Point Estates, Eleuthera, The Bahamas.

The possibilities are unlimited.
