XRAYMEDIA Announces European LOM Operations Prepares International Technology Marketplace for Private & Public Industrial Technology Offerings
NEW YORK & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2005--XRAYMEDIA, Inc., (OTCBB:XRYM - News), an industry leader in real-time negotiating technology, is proud to announce the upcoming release of the International Technology Marketplace. The International Technology Marketplace enables research and technological developments, live Internet negotiations, search for innovative business opportunities on emerging technologies focusing on Chemicals, Biology, Medicine, Energy, Environment, IT, Telecommunications, and Industrial Technologies.
All results included in the International Technology Marketplace are prepared for further utilization and development such as production and/or marketing agreements, further development or funding. The technology database is updated whenever new results become available. Entries in this service are comprehensive, providing information about the research result, the contributing organization, the type of collaboration sought, prototype availability, commercial potential, contact point information, and other details. The ambition of the International Technology Marketplace is to stimulate European-wide access to the US for ongoing research information, and the exploitation thereof. Sharing information among the research community gives opportunities for exchange of skills and knowledge, and for bringing both together.
XRAYMEDIA European LOM President & CEO Mr. Hans Johannes Schulte remarks, "Our International Technology Marketplace is another example of the vast array of industries waiting for the use of this remarkable technology. Among others and just to give a simple example: I was offered at one occasion a manufacturing plant in ceramic pervaporation membranes here in Holland to buy or to find an interested party to buy those membrane activities."

Mr. Schulte continues with his dissertation, "Ceramic membranes and systems for micro filtration are being used for separation and filtration of complex industrial liquid and gas flows. I established collaborative relationships with more strategically established manufactures for the commercialization of low-cost ceramic membranes. The potential is just behind imagination and a perfect use would be: I just give an ad-hoc example with Isopropanol (IPA) and should be considered only as food for the debate.
To become a cost-leader on some chemicals and commodities it could be a financial interest to obtain off Spec material. True novel, low-cost membranes separation technologies it is very doable to obtain a high-grade product and sell it at market prices. I know obsolete facilities that are already in place and the price regenerated Isopropanol (IPA) is approx $1100 MT.
Isopropanol (IPA) is widely used in the semi-conductor industry to clean wafers, and tetrafluropropanol (TFP) is used as solvent for coating in CD-R manufacturing. There are about 8000 tons of waste IPA and 1260 tons of waste TFP in Taiwan each year. Obviously, from both economic and environmental points of view, recovery and reuse of these two organic solvents are of great importance. Removal of water (dehydration) from the waste solvents is required to allow the recovered solvents to have enough purity for reuse. Distillation could be a choice for solvent dehydration; however, it is an energy-consuming process and cannot break azeotropes formed in the IPA-water and TFP-water mixtures. Therefore, it is essential to have a more efficient process for dehydration of IPA and TFP.
The best possible solution is to use: Tubular ceramic pervaporation membranes with long-term operation stability or polymeric membranes. The process requires up to 70% less energy than the distillation process and is about 50% cheaper and has a substantial higher productivity within a shorter timeframe with an easier process resulting with a better product.
Initial Pilot scale R&D and demonstration will be needed for client implementation. In more than 100 other applications this new technology seems interesting with a potential of more than 50,000 m2 membrane areas. The current annual turnover value for new products such as Dehydration of isopropanol can be up to 100 M Euro."
Mr. Schulte concludes with, "New products are not only an opportunity for sales and profit; they are essential for long-term survival. Not only of individual companies, but also of whole industries. Life and business are continuous processes of growth and decline, and you have to be ready to replace the old with the new. Our International Technology Marketplace can match venture finance with substantial sophisticated industrial and technology-based opportunities. We team up with partners to develop innovative products, processes and services, with National and international collaborative alliances. We have taken a look at how to approach each of these different sources and due to the multiplying synergistic effects and the in-house technology which we create, we expect to grow exceptionally in our revenues."
