Current Projects

After validating commercial viability of sodium silicate and activated carbon products, we entered into an agreement with Producers Rice Mill, Inc. resulting in the formation of an Arkansas limited liability company, AgriTecSorbents, LLC.  AgriTecSorbents has financed, engineered, constructed and is operating the plant which manufactures liquid sodium silicate and powdered activated carbon products derived from rice hull ash (RHA) raw materials provided by Producers, utilizing patented technology licensed by AgriTec.  The plant is located near Producers’ rice mill facilities in Stuttgart, Arkansas.  The plant is designed to process 12,000 tons per year of RHA, resulting in a design output of 25,000 tons of liquid sodium silicate and 5,000 tons of activated carbon annually.  Shipments of commercial products began in 2006.

AgriTec entered into a Joint Venture Agreement in July 2006, with Lanka Orix Project Development Limited (LOPD) based in Sri Lanka, for the purpose of engaging in the production of precipitated silicas, silica gels, activated carbon and other related products through the exploitation of AgriTec’s patents throughout 17 major rice growing countries of Southeast Asia and the Pacific-Rim.  The Joint Venture entity (AgriSil Holdings Ltd), in cooperation with local partners is developing rice husk fired electric plants and silica production units in several Thailand Provinces. These projects include the design, construction and operation of integrated plants which utilize the rice husk ash (RHA) generated by the electric plants and process it to liquid sodium silicate, precipitated silica, silica gels, and activated carbon in various quantities utilizing AgriTec’s technology. While biomass fueled plants and traditional precipitated silica plants operate around the world, these will be the first integrated plants to take advantage of AgriTec’s technology.
