We seem to be making progress all the time. The real issue is that now we get 5 or 6 good runs that are limited by oil overheating. We are still getting periodic break downs that require dismantling part of the plant and fixing the problem usually every 8 to 10 hours of operation.

These issues and the heating problems with the biooil seems to be the next things that need to be solved to get the plant to a production type operation.

Our discussion with partners now is can we bring in some engineering help to work on the problems that will be needed to actually resolve these issues once and for all. We are now at the point that we have them pretty well documented but do not have the skills or capabilities to resolve the issues that we are now aware of.

The next steps will take modifications of the plant to make the changes required to resolve the problems.

We still feel the plant works as its supposed to as it is running but there are too many issues with temperature and breakdowns that limit its ability to run for operational kinds of periods even 8 hours at a time at the full speed rate.

We are now negotiating with partners to get the work done to take the plant to the next stage.
