The Hydrocarbon and Contaminants Removal Device (HCOR™)

HCOR™ is the only filtration device that has been third party certified to remove EPA priority pollutants including Hydrocarbons, Heavy Metals, Insecticides, PCBs, and many more from underground structures.

Developed for San Diego Gas & Electric, a Sempra Utility, to remove the 126 EPA priority pollutants including Hydrocarbons, Heavy Metals, Pesticides, Insecticides, PCBs, and many more harsh chemicals. The only compliant methodology for use in dewatering utility vaults and other substructures.

WHY: Effective July 1, 2015, General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit for Discharge from Utility Vaults and Underground Substructures to Waters of the US updated its standards to include removal of 126 Priority Pollutants listed by the EPA.

SOLUTION: The HCOR™ Device is the only single-pass filter on the market that addresses the 126 EPA priority pollutants and eliminates the need for a vacuum truck to discharge contaminated water from flooded utility vaults and underground structures. By eliminating the need to dispatch a vacuum truck and using the same process for every dewatering event, utility companies can simplify field operations, reduce down time at the node, and lower overall costs.

SeaToxin Sorb™SeaToxin Sorb™ was developed for clean up of the San Diego Bay and other major cities globally.

PROBLEM: Copper enters the water column in bays and marinas as total copper. It is derived from the hulls of boats, on which copper-based paints are used to discourage barnacle growth. For example, a 5-billion-gal bay may have 25,000 lbs of new copper released annually. This is in addition to the high levels of soluble copper already present in the water. Three factors contribute to the problem: current levels of toxic copper, new total copper load, and stirring up silt, which allows chelated copper to re-solubilize to the toxic form. Copper in seawater has a toxic effect on algae, mollusks and other crustaceans, and certain sea grasses, thus disrupting the entire food chain. Treating boats with copper-free paints has had a limited effect on overall copper reduction, as documented in numerous controlled studies, with most studies showing less than 4% reduction.

SOLUTION: SeaToxin Sorb™ has demonstrated the ability to remove 95% of copper and other toxic pollutants (lead, mercury, arsenic, calcium, etc.) from sea water in a single treatment. Our Nation’s waterways are poisoned at epidemic proportions and the US EPA is mandating that bays and harbors reduce toxic copper levels drastically. Red Lion has demonstrated and provided a solution.

Earth ReClaim™ Earth ReClaim™ is an oil binding material for immediate and effective reclamation of oil spills. Earth ReClaim™ uses nature’s nanotechnology to reclaim the oil and reclaim the earth.

PROBLEM: Oil spills endanger public health, imperil drinking water, devastate natural resources, and disrupt the economy. In an increasingly technological era, the world has become moredependent upon oil-based products to help maintain a high standard of living. Products derived from petroleum, such as heating oil and gasoline; provide fuel for automobiles, heat for homes, and energy for the machinery used in industries. Other products derived from petroleum, including plastics and pharmaceuticals, provide convenience and help to make lives more comfortable.These oils contain toxic components and can produce negative physical effects. Because they have toxic properties and produce harmful physical effects, spills of non-petroleum oils pose threats to public health and the environment.

SOLUTION: Earth ReClaim™ achieves three things as the means to providing a total solution to oil or petroleum product spills: (a) recover the oil; (b) naturally eliminate malodors found in oil or petroleum product; and (c) permanently and irreversibly bind toxic heavy metals found in both the oil or petroleum product and transferred by oil into the Earth. All ingredients incorporated into our premier formula are derived from earth’s inorganic resources and are Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) materials; being 100% safe to humans, the environment and all plants and animals alike.

Sea ReClaim™

Sea ReClaim™ was hand selected out of 2,000 competitors to provide a solution to the BP Oil Spill.

PROBLEM: In the last thirty odd years, the issue of oil spills and their effects has taken on much importance. This is because when an oil spill occurs, it causes a multitude of problems for the environment and us. For example, Fish and other Marine Life may experience reduced growth, enlarged livers, changes in heart and respiration rates, fin erosion, and reproduction impairment. Oil also adversely affects eggs and larval survival. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been described as the worst environmental disaster in the United States, releasing about 4.9 million barrels (210 million US gal; 780,000 m3) of crude oil making it the largest marine oil spill ever recorded.

SOLUTION: The application of Sea ReClaim™ works fast and stops the spread almost instantaneously. The adsorption process turns the oil into a buoyant cake that is easily removed from the sea. The oil can be recycled back as Crude for reuse. Shipping companies can easily store the technology near ports, refineries, and pipelines for immediate use. Comprised solely of materials listed in §300915(g)(1) of the US National Contingency Plan.Sea ReClaim™ naturally eliminates malodors from volatiles found in crude oil & permanently binds the toxic heavy metals.

Petro-Sorb™

PETRO-SORB™ is an oleophilic adsorbent media comprised of natural nano-materials that is employed in batch or continuous process for remediation.

PROBLEM: A Case Study took place at Edwards Air Force base which has an extensive list of underground contamination with petrochemicals and hexane extractable materials . In spite of long term filtration efforts, and owing to the limits in efficacy of activated carbon for petrochemical removal, all deep well sites remain heavily contaminated. The current system removes 2-10% at best.

SOLUTION: An overall adsorption of 90% of petrochemical pollutants from well water was observed after a 3 min exposure to Petro-Sorb™ Adsorbent with a single pass through. Petro-Sorb™ Adsorbent technology is applicable to all organic based contaminants including but not limited to: oil, gas, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, and volatile organic compounds, organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s), semivolatile organic compounds, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, solvents and the like.

Humidity-Sorb™

Humidity-Sorb™ is a humidity controlling system that absorbs moisture in enclosed spaces and thus automatically adjusts the indoor humidity to an appropriate range of 30%–50% relative humidity (RH). Humidity between 30%-50% is considered ideal.

PROBLEM: A major concern for overseas shippers is excessive moisture, a common problem for cargo subjected to drastic changes in humidity. Research has shown that RH levels above 65% can promote microbial growth (mold etc.), while those below 25% can lead to brittleness, cracking, and rust. An application of a humidity controlling system that keeps transport container contents in the proper humidity range was designed to prevent such problems.

SOLUTION: The application of Humidity-Sorb™ controlling system keeps transport container contents in the proper humidity range and has the advantages of zero energy consumption, no pollution to the environment, ease of handling and can be regenerated. Eliminating moisture damage can protect product integrity and have a favorable effect on marine insurance premium -- in some cases, reducing them by millions of dollars per year.

LionPURE™

PROBLEM: Water drought is arguably the biggest single threat from climate change. Its impacts are global. A need to conserve water is greater than ever. Not only that, typically water coming from our faucets at home are well above the desirable Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) limit, which can lead to gastrointestinal irritations. Commonly, in the Middle East, a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration is used. There are three big problems with Reverse Osmosis. One is the cost, Two is energy demands, and three is the process for RO uses up about 3x the amount of water for the filtration process, thus deepening our water crises.

SOLUTION: Red Lion has developed powerful new tools for the filtration of water in TDS without the use of expensive Reverse Osmosis equipment. In addition, yields are nearly one to one, dramatically reducing the waste from the one resource that is growing shorter in supply - Fresh Clean Water. LionPURE™’s Multi-Purpose Filter sets the standard for custom, at-home drinking water with state-of-the-art water filtration and interchangeable filters, so you get a customized water treatment solution that fits you, your family, and your local water supply needs. Enjoy safe, filtered drinking water right from the faucet.

LionPURE™ developed for residential household water filtration system which removes bacteria and toxic substances

LionLOC™ Ammonia Control PowderLionLOC™ is a safe, effective and economical method of controlling ammonia is poultry houses. LionLOC™ can be utilized in any litter-based poultry operation and helps to naturally maintain a healthy flock population.

PROBLEM: Ammonia is a gas present in the atmosphere of every single poultry house. It results from the chemical decomposition of uric acid in droppings by certain bacteria in the litter. The main factors affecting atmospheric ammonia concentration in poultry houses are litter conditions and air movement (ventilation). Ammonia gas has a characteristic pungent odour. At high concentrations it is irritating to mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and the conjunctivae and corneas of the eyes. Damage to the mucous membranes of the respiratory system increases the susceptibility of birds to bacterial respiratory infection, especially E. coli infection. Ammonia can be fatal to the flock.

SOLUTION: LionLOC™ Ammonia control powder represents a tremendous value to the farmer with proven reduction of ammonia levels versus other poultry treatments. Saves money with less heat and fan time. Effectiveness lasts weeks and not just days and easy application with only 1/40 the amount of it’s competitors. LionLOC™ represents tremendous labor savings and is completely non- corrosive and safe for you and your birds. Our product works smarter so the farmer doesn’t have to.

LionROC™ Cement Additive and Water Reducing Agent for High Performance ConcreteLionROC™ is a Nano-Material Cement Additive that reinforces concrete and drastically improves structural stability for earthquakes. LionROC™ affords excellent long term strength and durability and is a high performance alkali-free cement accelerator.

PROBLEM: Much of the current cement on the market is toxic and requires high amounts of water to produce. In a world where the water drought is an increasing problem, it is important to come up with innovative technologies to conserve more aqua. Earthquakes are appearing at expedited rates and the current concretes available lack the needed structural stability.

SOLUTION: LionROC™ uses a proprietary blend of natural non-toxic (environmentally safe) nano-materials to aid in concrete reinforcement. By doing so we have increased compressive strength up to 50mPa while reducing 20% of water usage in every single mix design. LionROC™ ingredients are heat resistant to 1600 degrees Celsius and dries 30% faster than it’s competitors. Additional benefits include: Resistance to feaze-thaw, easier and faster mortar spread, enhanced adhesion, improved flexibility, reduces shrinkage, and resistance to water penetration.

Bind Fresh™

Bind Fresh™ is an efficient process of binding malodors through active chemical bonding

PROBLEM: Landfills, dumps, disposal and disposal transportation equipment, agricultural malodor, animal waste, and general waste smells for a very simple reason. It contains decaying, putrescible materials such as meat or vegetables or diapers. As meat decays, it attracts bacteria that feast on the amino acids in the meat's proteins. Vegetables also can rot and slowly liquefy as microbes attack the vegetables' cell structure and the fermenting liquids warm up the waste. As more gasses and liquids are produced, the waste malodors continue to grow and grow. The rats and flies attracted by rotting malodor can potentially spread diseases that can be serious to humans if they get into our food supplies.

SOLUTION: Bind Fresh™ is a very efficient binding of malodors through active chemical bonding. Applications in landfills, dumps, disposal and disposal transportation equipment, agricultural malodor control, animal waste and rendering, and general waste management. Bind-Fresh is consisted of environmentally friendly natural materials.

Mold Sorb™

Mold Sorb™ Effective immediate control of toxic mold

PROBLEM: Molds are found in virtually every environment and can be detected, both indoors and outdoors, year round. Mold growth is encouraged by warm and humid conditions. Exposure to molds can cause symptoms such as muscle and joint pain, headache, anxiety, depression, memory loss, visual disturbances, immune system disturbances and fatigue.Millions of mold spores may even be hiding in your pillows. The only way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture

SOLUTION: Mold Sorb™ is applicable to flood control and indoor remediation. Mold Sorb™ is a non-toxic formulation not requiring bleach or paints. After applying Mold Sorb™, the technology works on a continuous control of mold growth. Nano-Powder applicable to mold knock-down in flood remediation; works on all surfaces including exposed wood. Sachets applicable to prevention of mold growth and can be placed in spaces between studs or other confined spaces. Products contain materials that are natural and generally regarded as safe (GRAS).

How Does It All Work?

It’s All About Active Surface Area and Permanent Encapsulation: Micron sized aggregates, create a clathrate structure that captures the pollutants and permanently binds them. Nano-material can capture up to 1000 times it’s weight in targeted substances owing to its inherently high surface area. One pound of aggregated nano-material used in our media has an adsorption area of 52,000,000 sq. ft with a surface modified specifically for hydrocarbon bonding. Competitive products do not create chemical bonding, nor do they have the equivalent surface areas to interact with the contaminants.

The Science:

• Nano-powder creates a clathrate structure that captures the pollutants

• Not only removes the pollutants, but permanently binds them

• Cannot leach out of filter unless reactive agents or extremely high temperatures are applied (1800 deg+)

• Resins can be formulated to target specific elements or compounds, or a combination of many

• Can capture up to 100 times its weight in targeted substances
