WEST BERLIN, N.J., April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Resource Corp. (Pink Sheets: GBRC), a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology and machinery for extracting oil and gas, announced today favorable results in the early stages of testing of the GRFR1 prototype machine for converting waste materials into fuel oil and natural gas. The GRFR1 machine is running in automatic mode, moving material from input to output as designed and is holding vacuum pressure under full speed better than required. The most recent vacuum pressure test showed that the GRFR1 unit achieved full, required vacuum pressure of 20 inches mercury (Hg), after only 5 minutes of start-up time. The machine's full performance reached a peak pressure of 25.7 inches Hg in 15 minutes. Following the powering down of the vacuum the system stayed above a critical point of 5 inches Hg for 48 minutes. Following a 1 hour period post shutdown the machine was still holding 2.6 inches Hg of vacuum pressure. The machine is capable of processing one ton of material per hour. Jeff Kimberly, the Chief Operating Officer of Global Resource Group, stated, "This is a major milestone in the development and commercialization of our microwave technology. We are pleased to be moving towards the production of further machines in the near future. Our channel partners have informed us that there is significant interest in our technology for use in various applications including waste tires, shale, oil sands and sludge." In the end of April Global Resource will begin phase 1 microwave testing, which will include a series of tests to ensure maximum energy is received to the product and minimal energy is bounce-backed in the waveguides. Phase 2 microwave testing will include generating energy in full automatic cycle. When all testing of the unit is complete the Company will then provide a full demonstration of the prototype machine, validating the efficiency of our machines and technology for larger applications such as our flagship 15-ton machine. Some photos of the prototype unit in Rockford are shown on our website and can be accessed by selecting the "Our Partners" tab and then scrolling down to the Ingersoll Production Systems (IPS) area of the tab. About Global Resource Corp. Global Resource Corp., (GBRC), is a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology and machinery that extracts oil and petroleum products from shale deposits, tar sands, capped oil wells, bituminous coal and processed materials such as tires and plastics as well as dredged soil from harbors and river bottoms. Its process produces significantly greater yields and lower costs than are available using existing technologies. Because the process takes place in an enclosed environment it is emission-free and an efficient and cost-effective tool for cleaning environmental wastes and toxic materials.
