Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PLANET) (PINKSHEETS: PRRY),
developer, manufacturer and marketer of PetroLuxus(TM) and other
"Green" technologies for the remediation and recovery of the
planet's resources, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr.
Harold R. Potts as Director of Technology. Dr. Potts has worked
with PLANET in a consultant capacity on new green technologies and
methodologies for the mining of base and precious metals as well as
the remediation environmentally toxic metal. As Director of
Technology for PLANET, he will be responsible for the design,
development, proof of concept completion, patenting of proprietary
chemical compounds, processes & methodologies and on-site
equipment scale-up and installation. He will also collaborate on
new applications for PLANET's hydrocarbon product --
PetroLuxus(TM).
Dr. Potts received his Doctorate of Applied Physics, with a
heavy emphasis in Chemistry, in 1988 from the University of New
York at New Paltz, New York while working at IBM, Inc. His career
spanned 15 years at IBM as a Senior Engineer where he developed
memory subsystems for large mainframes and educated technicians. He
was instrumental in the design, development and patenting of the
double and triple bit detection and correction software for 3090
Mainframe. He authored and IBM published technical papers titled
"3090 Storage Failure Analysis" and "3090 Maintenance Reference
Summary."
Between 1989-2002 he was the Laboratory Manager at IRC Inc. Here
he ran the technical aspects of a metrology laboratory. He provided
training to employees as well as those of his clients. He provided
technical support to the marketing staff.
In 1998 he was retained by Houston-based Instru-Measure, which
specializes in the component level repair for a wide variety of
electrical and electronic test equipment, meters, indicators and
calibration of pressure and physical measurement systems, to invent
and develop a meter for oil field use in the completion of wells.
The result was the Safety Multimeter which was designed to measure
multiple factors in the setting of perforations at the oil pay zone
to reduce costly mishaps. Oil services giant Schlumberger Limited
purchased the rights to the Safety Multimeter for use by field
personnel. Dr. Potts upgraded his original Analog Safety Multimeter
to a Digital platform in 2004 for Schlumberger's continued use.
In 2002, he was a technical consultant to Electro Magnetic
Resources Inc. (EMR) where he co-developed and patented the
TheraMag II(TM), a magnetic field generator for therapeutic
applications. The apparatus was used to treat idiopathic pain in
patients and was used in a study of Huntington's disease by Dr.
Dale Erickson, a respected neurologist in the Houston Medical
Center.
From 2002-2004, he was the Chief Chemist at LCS Laboratories
where he managed the analytical laboratory, conducted research in
support of client's requests and performed analytical test
methods.
He became the Director of Technical Operations for Marcase, Inc.
in 2004 where he developed a new line of environmentally friendly
water-based sealants for the Construction industry. He was in
charge of coordinating all aspects of technical activities,
performed all the R&D efforts in the development of new wood
treatment methods and liaison with the University of Southern
Mississippi Science Department.
After his project completion, he returned to Houston-based LCS
Laboratories where he resumed his duties as Chief Chemist, later
joining Serveon Specialty Chemicals, LLC as the company's Senior
Developer. At Serveon, he developed the next generation of
silicon-based treatments for wood, stone and other building
materials. This line of silicon-based treatments are
environmentally friendly compounds designed to resist water damage,
mold & mildew.
Prior to joining PLANET, Dr. Potts was the President and General
Manager of multi-state Instrumentation Repair & Calibration,
Inc. providing testing and measurement equipment to customers in
Texas and Louisiana.
Since joining PLANET as a consultant, he has been pivotal in the
design of new technologies and methodologies for the mining of base
and precious metals as well as the remediation of toxic heavy
metals. He has contributed innovative new concepts for the
treatment and remediation of cadmium laced water, base metal &
precious metal mining. These new innovations have been tested in a
controlled setting rendering the stated objectives. These new
technologies that are under development will be patentable
technologies to PLANET and new application platforms.
PLANET President and CEO Kurt E. Neubauer stated on the
appointment, "Hal brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to
PLANET. His accomplishments and scientific approach to applications
we have identified in our business model will bring these new
technologies to a reality. His knowledge of Physics, Chemistry,
Magnetics, Instrumentation & Metering, Oil & Gas industry
and software coding will be a great asset to our team."
Dr. Potts proudly served the United States as a member of the US
Marine Corp. from 1970 - 1974 where he was deployed for one tour of
duty in Vietnam. He resides in Humble, Texas with his wife and has
six children. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and
frequently volunteers his time to the local schools teaching and
