Marketwired
BioCentric Energy Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BEHL) announced today
that a highly experienced algae specialist has been hired and will
be joining the BioCentric Energy team beginning Monday, February
1st, 2010. This algae specialist will be working onsite at the
BioCentric Energy headquarters located in Santa Ana, California.
Ms. Domini Maddox, a graduate from the University of Texas, has
extensive experience working with and identifying various strains
of algae, lipid contents, DNA extractions, PCR amplification and
creating laboratory protocols. Also, Ms. Maddox has worked on
biofuel research projects sponsored by DARPA. Dr. Jerry Brand, the
director of UTEX, who is well known and respected in the algae
industry, highly recommended Ms. Maddox for the BioCentric Energy
position. Ms. Maddox conducted algae research directly under Dr.
Brand for two years. UTEX is the principal resource in the algae
industry with approximately 2,300 different strains of algae in
collection and an extensive library and research facility. Both Ms.
Maddox and UTEX are valuable resources for BioCentric Energy to
have within the USA and within our headquarters.
In her new position at BioCentric Energy, Ms. Maddox will be
researching and identifying various strains of algae with high
lipid/oil contents for various applications, and optimizing and
managing the consistent growth of contaminant free algae. Working
closely with our technical department, Ms. Maddox and team will
manage the monitoring and compensation for dissolved oxygen, the
C02 content, nutrient needs, the flow rate turbidity, connectivity,
and temperature, in BioCentric Energy's V3 Algae-Pro system.
Furthermore, Ms. Maddox will be providing the BioCentric Energy
Executive team with daily reports and data on algae growth rates,
lipid contents and other relative information as mentioned
above.
BioCentric Energy is pleased to announce that the final
engineering on the V3 Algae-Pro Photobioreactor system is now
complete. We have received via shipment from China the 32 Corners
for the V3 Alga-Pro system. Also received at the Santa Ana
headquarters are the 8,000 lineal feet of proprietary, seven (7)
layer tubing. Installation of the V3 Algae-Pro system will commence
over the next two weeks.
BioCentric Energy's Dennis Shen has formally resigned from his
position as the company's COO and Board Member so that he may
pursue opportunities in the wind-mill industry. BioCentric Energy
wishes Mr. Shen the very best in his new endeavors.
Although research on algae has taken place since the early
1970s, algae derived products have never received more attention
than today. Every week, BioCentric Energy hears from potential
clients wanting to take part in the algae industry but do not know
which segment of the algae market they should pursue. This is why
BioCentric Energy's marketing department diligently researches
potential algae markets from Energy, Health, Beauty, Nutraceutical,
Farming / Feed and Carbon Sequestration. One very promising algae
market is in Nutraceutical products.
It is no secret that Omega3 is beneficial and necessary for
reducing inflammation in the body, improving circulation and even
aids in depression. BioCentric Energy's research data shows that
the Omega3 derived from EPA/DHA is a billion dollar market and
growing. "In 2011 retails sales of food and beverages enriched with
omega-3s (EPA/DHA) will reach more than $7 billion."(The US Private
label food market - Packaged Facts).
Omega3 (typically known as fish oil) is derived from fish. The
EPA/DHA are the powerful properties making Omega3 so valuable. Fish
oil does not naturally contain EPA/DHA; however, fish eat the algae
that contains EPA/DHA. BioCentric Energy builds affordable, low
cost closed-loop photobioreactor systems that grow algae. A
specific algae strain with high EPA/DHA oil content will be grown
in BioCentric Energy's V3 Algae-Pro systems and the oil will
subsequently be extracted. Our clients will quickly be a part of
this of growing market. It is estimated that "in the year 2012,
EPA/DHA will become a $12 billion market" (The Alternative Health
Journal) BioCentric Energy and its products will be playing a
significant role in this market. By providing our clients with the
latest information on how they can best utilize and profit from
their closed loop photobioreactor systems and algae, we can
strengthen our company and shareholders future.
As a reminder, the 1st Annual BioCentric Energy Shareholders
Meeting will be held on February 24th, 2010 at 12:00pm - 4:00pm at
the Las Vegas, Nevada Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino. Following the
