B: Citgo Acquires ProMag for Lake Charles Refinery Emergency Response School Exp
sure Pays Off
LAS VEGAS, Dec 04, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via Comtex/ -- James Branch,
President of Trident Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 21st
Century Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TFCT) announced today that CITGO
of Tulsa, Oklahoma, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Petroleos de
Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company of Venezuela, has acquired a
ProMag 6 Set for deployment at CITGO's refinery at Lake Charles, Louisiana.
CITGO's employees became familiar with ProMag, a rare-earth permanent magnet
powered system for leak and rupture sealing, especially suitable for difficult
HAZMAT leaks or ruptures, as a result of training on ProMag received at the
State of Louisiana's Emergency Response Training Center and Holden, Louisiana.
21st Century had donated a ProMag set to that facility in order to gain exposure
for the unique characteristics of ProMag (and its maritime engineered brother,
SeaPatch). Similar sales have resulted from exposure to donated ProMag sets at
the Emergency Response Training Program at the Transportation Technology Center
(ITCI) operated by the federal government at Pueblo, Colorado and the Texas
Engineering Extension Services Training Institute (ESTI) (formerly the Fire
Protection Training Division), operated by Texas A & M University at College
Station, Texas, but offered at various locations in the United States.
Additional emergency response training facilities will be ProMag-equipped in the
near future.
"Trident's products, ProMag and SeaPatch, are unique, effective, efficient and
especially suited to the new world we all live in," said Arland D. Dunn,
President and CEO of 21st Century Technologies. "What they need to be truly wide
spread and thereby more effective is exposure of the kind we get at these first
response training facilities. Students are trained in the various applications
of ProMag. When they get home, they spread the word about how excellent and
effective these products are. Sales result and all benefit. I am pleased by the
Citgo sale, as I was pleased by the other sales resulting from first response
training school exposure. We shall expand the program."
ProMags are presently in use as part of the equipment available for quick
response and early fixes of leaks and ruptures with several railroads, such as
Union Pacific, oil companies, such as ExxonMobil chemical companies, such as
Bayer AG and first responders, such as fire departments (North Platte, Nebraska)
and contracted HAZMAT/First Response teams, such as HEPACO
(http://www.hepaco.com).
