ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY USING LIQUID CATALYST℠ OR LC℠
LC℠ is a proprietary liquid used in hydrocarbon separation processes. Global Advanced Technologies’, JV partner, Jeanblanc International, discovered a new molecular science that has had years and millions of dollars spent on Research and Development and is needed now more then ever as it does not use precious water, does not create any pollution and has significantly lower CAPEX and OPEX.
LC℠ is a proprietary formula that is enhanced with JBI’s proprietary technology to give it new characteristics. This proprietary technology is what gives the various chemicals that are used in the proprietary formula new characteristics and keeps the chemicals from breaking apart, making LC ℠ different than any other recovery liquids. LC℠ is currently manufactured in only one location for protection of the technology.
LC℠ was created to resolve some of the oil industry issues that the President of Jeanblanc International encountered while owning over 40 oil and gas wells and an oil reclamation plant. The revolutionary technology was also developed to reduce energy required and to avoid the need for heat or pressure while reducing the related pollution issues facing the oil industry.
When LC℠ is introduced to hydrocarbons (oil) in either liquid or vapor state, a temporary molecular bond with the hydrocarbon is created. The LC℠ /oil bond is so strong that the LC℠/oil releases from any other surface and will not re-attach until this bond is released. This is crucial in applications such as in down hole, oil sands, oil spills on land and water, tank cleaning and roofing shingles.
Test results have shown that LC℠ is such an effective extraction process that only a few ppm or almost non-detectable levels of oil are left on any surface. Soils or water are ready for immediate remediation.
LC℠ also breaks water emulsions almost instantly which are major problems in the oil industry.
When LC℠ is bonded with the hydrocarbon or oil, its viscosity is that of diesel for easy movement. At a set point with a small temperature increase to 140F the LC/oil bond is released, the LC℠ is recaptured for reuse, and the oil is ready for processing. The soil, sand, other medium or water are cleaned to ppm (per independent lab reports) and ready to be returned to the environment or to be re-used or disposed of. LC℠ allows for immediate remediation, helping the environment.
There are no pollution issues when using LC℠. LC℠ does not create CO2 air pollution, nor water pollution, there is no waste of water and it is recycled; helping to be GREEN. The CAPEX and OPEX are significantly less then present technologies such as steam and other processes. LC℠ applications help the environment.
BENEFITS OF LC℠
Applications for LC ℠
Down Hole
LC℠ Injection
LC℠ is introduced downhole as a liquid where it turns to vapor to penetrate the pores and crevices. The LC℠ encapsulates the oil, so the oil only clings to itself and is released from any formation. The permeability allows the LC℠ encapsulated oil to flow like diesel through the formation. Because LC℠ is heavier and does not mix with water, the oil is released from the formations and drops to the pay zone, where normal water flooding pushes the oil through the pay zone to the projection well.
LC℠ recycles downhole to continue to bond with more oil and only works with the oil, not the formation.
Unlike another chemical flooding that needs to fill the pay zone and takes ample time to saturate the zone, LC℠ is injected as a liquid and followed by production water. Once downhole, it recycles from a liquid to vapor to reach into the pores and crevices of the rock. LC℠ immediately encapsulates the hydrocarbon, so the hydrocarbon bond is many times stronger than any surface bond. The hydrocarbon releases from the formation and drops to the main channel, where the LC℠ is recycled back to vapor to go back to get more hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon's viscosity is that of diesel for easy movement to the production well. At a set point with minimal temperature, the LC℠ is distilled off, ready for reuse, and the hydrocarbon back to its original form.

LD50 TEST ON MICE
GLR LABORATORIES PVT LTD CONCLUSION
Based on the results obtained and according to OECD 423, it is concluded that given test item LD50 Mice test for liquid catalyst-LC, supplied by Global Advanced Technologies LLC, was falls under ‘Category 5 or unclassified’ according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for the classification of chemicals. The acute oral cut-off LD50 value of LD50 Mice test for liquid catalyst-LC in swiss albino mice is greater than 5000 mg/Kg.
TEST RESULTS OF REMAINING PPM
TRITON LAB REPORT STATES:
“Essentially nothing or not detect (ND) was found in the cut fractions for gasoline, jet and diesel. The remaining found recoveries for Vac Gas Oil 42.3 ppm (650-1000 F) or carbon number 20-44 and the found recovery of the residue 1000F+ (Carbon number C44+) was 20.5ppm. These values are very low and can arise from naturally occurring organic materials in soil such as humic acids, etc. (Clean as beach sand)”
