Our Technologies & Products

2Ci develops and licenses several technologies for environmental protection and homeland security applications. We can help you with installation as well as maintenance of our technologies. We have listed below those technologies that are currently available for you in the market. Several other technologies are under development which will be added to this list as they become available. You may contact us for any specific needs you have where we can help you.

Homeland Security Early Warning System (SIREN™)

SIREN™ provides early warning of poison introduced deliberately or accidentally into drinking water (AquaCoil™), milk, beverages, and food supplies, so that authorities can take proactive measures to prevent massive public health emergencies. Based on two patents, one patent pending and numerous proprietary developments, SIREN™ consists of biosensors that are monitored and controlled by a web-based system that not only provides early warning alarms to public health officials but also recommends proactive strategies to prevent public health and environmental catastrophes.

SIREN™ characteristics include:

• Online, real time biosensors to detect and measure toxic substances
• Early warning alarms to alert authorities of poisoning of water and other media by terrorists
• Automatic emergency response
• Robust design and low maintenance to ensure reliable operation

BioCoil^®

BioCoil™ is a patented on-line instrument that detects in advance any toxic substances introduced deliberately or accidentally into municipal or industrial sewers before they damage the downstream wastewater treatment plants and receiving waters such as rivers and lakes. It sends immediate warning alarms to pre-selected parties to prevent environmental emergencies. It has multiple uses including:

• Process control and optimization
• Rapid five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) measurements
• Compliance with Homeland Security regulations for wastewater treatment
• Screening of “special” batch wastes
• Treatability studies

SCADAR^®

A patented web-based integrated computer system comprising of both hardware and software that predicts potential process failures, provides early warning, and recommends proactive strategies to prevent environmental catastrophies. SCADAR^®:

• Receives and analyzes real time data/voice/video from water and wastewater treatment plants.
• Predicts, in advance, potential non-compliance events and process failures and informs pre-selected parties via land-line, wireless, and satellite communication modes.
• Upon access by a user via Internet, shows current and historic data and provides expert advice on appropriate response action.
• Is also capable of remotely initiating action at the remote plant site (e.g., shutting a pump, diverting flow).

EAST™ (Enhanced Activated Sludge Treatment)

This patented process increases the capacity of an existing wastewater treatment system by more than 50% by simple process configuration changes without incurring major capital expenditures. This is an innovative modification of the “Kraus” process which involves recycling of anaerobic digester supernatant to the front end of the aeration basin. EAST process characteristics include:

• Higher organic loading rates
• Resistance to shock loads
• Superior solids/liquids separation
• Better process control
• Easy retrofit of existing facilities

OmniFloat^®

A patented bioreactor used for biorefining applications such as methane production, ethanol fermentation, and carbon dioxide generation. It is an anaerobic fermentation process for converting an influent liquid containing suspended and soluble organic matter to effluent gas and liquid products. The solids are separated from the liquid by “bio-flotation” resulting in a clear effluent liquid. The process features include:

• Low cost treatment of wastewater
• Fermentation of ethanol
• Sustainable energy production
• Reduced operating expenses

MPR^® (Modulating Phase reactor)

A biological wastewater treatment technology that generates sustainable energy and produces net zero sludge solids at much lower cost than competing technologies. This can be an integrated technology involving anaerobic followed by aerobic processes for extremely high strength wastes or simply anaerobic technology for other wastes. The characteristics of this innovative process include:

• 95%+ BOD removals
• Net zero sludge solids
• Low effluent suspended solids
• Generation of methane for process fuel and cogeneration

Biofuel Production System (BPS)

Biofuel Production System (BPS) is an innovative technology that integrates several of 2Ci’s patented and patent-pending technologies.   It is a bioreactor coupled with a web-based monitoring system (SCADAR^®) which produces methane from agricultural and industrial wastes.   Methane is captured and burned to produce electricity which facilitates global trading of the so-called certified emission reduction (CER) credits equivalent to the amount of methane converted to electricity.   The advantages of this technology include:

• Conversion of waste to methane biofuel which is captured and burned to generate electricity, thus replacing the need for fossil fuels such as fuel oil and natural gas
• Higher energy production and conversion efficiencies through innovative reactor design
• Collection and monitoring of methane using proprietary technology to meet the United Nation’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) validation requirements
• Collection of data at a central location from multiple remote sources at any corner of the world minimizing operating costs
• Improved economics over competing technologies by use of construction materials and designs that are compatible especially with Third World site locations
