MagneGas Signs Letter of Intent with Urban Fish Farm

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MagneGas® Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), a technology company that includes among its inventions a patented process that converts liquid waste into a hydrogen-based fuel, announced today the signature of a Letter of Intent for the placement of a 50kW Unit with an innovative fish farm company located in Fort Myers, Florida.

Waste water from fish farms has valuable nutrients and micro-nutrients.  When the waste water is properly treated, the resulting solution becomes an effective organic agricultural soil amendment that can be custom formulated for specific crops and turf. The partnering fish farm, with a patented process, is researching the benefits and test results of sterilizing their waste water with a MagneGas unit. 

The processed waste water is custom blended to meet the farmers' specific soil conditions.  The fish farms' current process has documented increased crop yields of over 17% versus traditional chemical fertilizers. MagneGas is optimistic that sterilizing waste water using the MagneGas technology will improve the results and/or simplify the process.  Additionally, incorporating the MagneGas equipment could classify the processed waste water as a completely organic solution for agricultural crops.

The Company believes that the value of using a MagneGas unit is that it both sterilizes and breaks down nutrients microscopically, thus increasing the surface area to volume ratio of remaining nutrients.  This is expected to result in increased efficiency when adding microbiology and thus reducing overall costs and improving throughput rates. 

The executed Letter of Intent stipulates that upon successful trial runs and test results, the Companies will work together to pursue aquaponic farms and certain other agricultural applications.  The Company estimates there are up to 200 aquaponic farms in the US and plans to jointly incorporate respective patented process technologies to pursue the market.  Following successful testing, the initial 50kW unit will be placed at the farm in Fort Myers to demonstrate the technology and business model to visitors.

"A little known fact is that today the world consumes more farmed fish than wild caught fish. We believe adding chemicals to the process is an unsustainable solution for the environment.  MagneGas intends to become a major contributor with a proposed solution using combined technologies to reuse animal and fish waste to improve food production.  We plan to partner with innovative companies to bring joint solutions to the industry on a global basis," commented Ermanno Santilli, CEO MagneGas Corp.
