I am examining IREC right now myself - I like the technology and have actually heard of it before - very promising if they can ever get off the ground. Read the release closely - this is a demonstration site not a contract (IMOO) - not to diminish the positives of such a demonstration. Sludges are a emulsion of oil, water and sediments usually found in the bottom to mid-level of separators (from storm water collection systems) and bulk storage tanks (refineries, oil production facilities, bulk terminals, etc). Refinery bottoms (as I understand) are the heavy oils/tars generated through the refinery process after all the lights (i.e., butanes, benzenes, etc) have been "distilled" off. I realize this is a very mundane / layman version and am begging for some assistance here from others on the thread. If I am wrong on bottoms (I don't believe so) then I am in total misunderstanding of RNTK's process.

The technology brought up separates water from petroleum (emulsions). This is usually done with chemicals but apparently this company is doing it with microwaves. Sounds great.

Has absolutely nothing to do with RNTK. RNTK's technology recombines hydrogen and CO2 to make middle distillates. The two are completly different. Nothing to worry about.
