"BIOSORPTION
TECHNOLOGY" Company Brochure - Business Plan
Summary
 |
|
"Biosorption Technology"
brochure of BV Sorbex, Inc. summarizes the major aspects of
the Company's business plan. |
The Company business plan is summarized in a
printed brochure. Most of its contents is available on this
web-site. This summary reflects the corporate ideas and
strategies providing the basis of the Company's business.
There have been several detail studies carried out recently that
seriously examined the situation in the MARKET that the
Company plans to penetrate. Indeed, the economic edge of the
new biosorbents is bound to open even more new market opportunities
in effluent clean-up that have remained untapped so far.
All major competition processes and technologies have been
carefully evaluated and compared in another extensive study on the
COMPETITION, revealing and confirming the competitive
advantages of biosorbent technology.
The sorption operation is capable of
removing and isolating specific chemical species from solution and
as such it provides a basis for very effective technological
applications. Methodologies developed and established for
examining conventional sorption processes can be used to develop and
apply biosorption – and vice versa. From this point of view,
biosorption could be considered as a well established process with
little risk in its exploitation. Its novelty and
edge are in the new biosorbent materials discovered.
During the past 2 decades, their performance has been well
established and they are now ready for large-scale exploitation in
industrial applications. |

Bohumil Volesky is the
President and Founder of BV SORBEX, Inc., an enterprise focusing
on sorption and biosorption technology and its promotion. He
is also a Professor of Chemical Engineering at McGill University in
Montreal, Canada, active in areas of Biochemical Engineering and
Industrial Water Pollution Control. He has authored or coauthored
close to 200 scientific papers and presented many invited lectures
at international scientific meetings and seminars or workshops
around the world.
He has been providing consulting services to
numerous organizations.
Dr. Volesky earned his PhD in Biochemical
Engineering at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario,
Canada. His research interests are reflected in his earlier
books on "Biosorption of Heavy Metals" (1990, CRC Press, Boca Raton,
Florida) that he edited, and in a co-authored volume on "Modeling
and Optimization of Fermentation Processes" (1992, Elsevier Science
Publishers, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) |

As opposed to a
simplistic "shoe-boutique", the enterprise of BIOSORPTION represents
a more sophisticated type of business activity.
It involves introduction
of a multifaceted technology and pursues its beneficial
applications. Although the metal-toxicity basis of it is
environmentally driven,  the
environmental pressures nowadays are high and they are proven not to
be subsiding any more. This situation offers a unique opportunity
for an enterprise that has something valuable to contribute. And all
is multiplied by the undisputable globalization of all aspects -
issues, opportunities,
business connections and supplies. BV SORBEX, Inc. prides
itself of its world-wide scope and connections it established along several different
lines concerning both CLIENTS and RESOURCING:
- Mining companies represent a world-wide
clientelle.
-
Electroplating industrial clients are mainly concentrated in
North America and Europe, China and Japan
- Suppliers of seaweed biomass resource
are located e.g. in the Philippines, Thailand, Cuba and
Brazil.
- Large-scale fermentation facilities supplying
microbial biomass raw material are in China, India, Russia and in
selected countries of Europe and South
America.
Publishing an authoritative technical book on "SORPTION & BIOSORPTION"
has established the name and leadership of BV SORBEX, Inc. in the
field.
In addition, engineering presentations or
half-day and full-day WORKSHOPS are organized at
different locations in the world. They are invaluable in
developing inroads in the diversified clientelle basis as well as in
training manpower. These
events are being held upon special arrangements at business or educational
institutions, as parts of conference programs or before/after
conferences.
The presentations can
have emphasis on chemistry, biology or process engineering including
the contemporary computer simulation techniques used for sorption
processes. We also explain and demonstrate the power of
FEMLAB
sorption simulation program for process optimization.
