Barrington, IL. (PRWEB) August 01, 2012

July 31, 2012, EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (OTCBB-ECOS) is pleased to announce that it has signed a distribution/operation agreement with GFE Bio Fuels S.A a company organized under the laws of Costa Rica and having its principal office at Liberia, Guanacaste to operate and distribute ECOS diesel/water emulsion (M-Fuel) production equipment (NPUs) as well as EcoloCaps proprietary additive, to initially cover certain countries of Central America, and then extend to other areas based on minimum target achievement.

The NPU-60 has a production capacity of 60 metric tons of M-Fuel/day (18,000 gallons) and represents a purchase price of some $ 850,000. The NPU-60 consumes $ 4500 a day of additive when in full production. The GFE purchase order of the NPU-60 includes a two months supply of additive.

States Michael Siegel, President and CEO of EcoloCap: This agreement will open the Central American market in a very short time frame. Independent tests demonstrate that our M-Fuel technology will reduce the consumption of diesel and other heavy oil by up to 30% and further reduce particulate emissions by over 90%, and NOx by 60%. Costa Rica being a very environmentally conscious country and at the same time dependent on HFO and Diesel for power generation, M-Fuel represents the answer to drastically reduce harmful emissions and cost of fuel. This contract represents over $ 7,500,000 in revenue for EcoloCap over the 12 month following the signature of this contract.

Joseph Black President and CEO of GFE Biofuels S.A, Costa Rica states: We at GFE Biofuels S.A (GFE) are pleased to announce the signing of an Exclusive Purchase and Distribution Agreement with EcoloCap Solutions Inc., encompassing all EcoloCap products and technology. The exclusive territories include Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama as well as some specifically targeted customers in other countries. GFE has big plans for this product once the commissioning of the first NPU-60 and field testing have been successfully completed in Costa Rica with a target date of the end of 2012.

GFEs team has conducted extensive market studies and created a network of customer bases in Central and Latin America, Canada, and the Bahamas. GFE is opening discussions with our partners and client base in these regions to prepare them for the use of this new technology.

The M-Fuel Product Model offering is a no brainer providing low cost solutions to a huge problem every country on this planet is faced with:

Weather Central Offers First U.S. Showing of Wind Power Yield Forecast System at AWEA 2012

San Diego, CA and Madison, WI (PRWEB) June 04, 2012

Weather Central, LP, is presenting its groundbreaking new Wind Power Yield Forecast (YIELD FORECAST) for the first time in the U.S. at AWEA 2012 at the Georgia Congress Center, Atlanta Georgia in Booth 2950. The YIELD FORECAST system is unique because it has been purpose built for the wind industry, which loses $ 500 million annually as a result of inaccurate forecasts that were not designed to the unique requirements of wind parks.

Weather Central also announces that YIELD FORECAST has begun testing at the Madison Gas and Electric Top of Iowa wind park. Similar tests are underway at multiple wind parks in Europe.

Solid forecasting is essential to mitigating the operating risk of wind parks, said Steve Smedberg, Weather Central senior vice president for enterprise. YIELD FORECAST is simply the most advanced system of its kind, bringing together decades of forecast experience, proprietary high resolution data sets, and advanced computing technology. Our exclusive methods of customizing the toolkit at the level of individual turbines are producing unprecedented forecast precision.

Weather Central YIELD FORECAST will provide wind park operators and utilities with more accurate, actionable predictions for the power output for the following 24-48 hours to help them extract the maximum value from the wind-generated power. YIELD FORECAST specifically addresses the need for operators to predict their output on a day-ahead basis and to prepare responses to real-time fluctuations in output. Globally, poor forecasts are estimated to cost wind operators in excess $ 500 million (U.S.) due to: having to sell excess power at low or negative prices, being forced by shortfalls to buy energy from other sources in the real-time market in order to meet commitments, and having to pay penalties and tariffs imposed on them for inaccurate yield forecasting.

YIELD FORECAST is unique because it is the only solution for the wind energy industry where a single company controls the entire forecast chain. This provides Weather Central with unmatched flexibility to optimize the forecast not just for each wind park, but actually at the level of individual turbines for peak precision. The Weather Central YIELD FORECAST solution combines on-site data feedback and input from the customer with proprietary Weather Central technologies including:

MicroCast numerical weather prediction model
-Advanced neural network and other statistical analysis

DataCloud data serving technology
-Interactive map-based visualization tools

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 15, 2012

Withee Malcolm Architects is no stranger to the Gold Nugget Awards having won more than a half dozen in recent years. Nonetheless, this years quartet of winners is especially noteworthy as the awards honor a diverse range of projects that include mixed-use, affordable senior housing, industrial renovation and a site plan for a new community. Established in 1963, the Gold Nugget Awards are one of the leading competitions in the building industry and winners share one common denominator: excellence and innovation in addressing complex design/build issues.

Our work is driven by the desire to provide better solutions to challenges facing our clients and the communities we serve be it a constrained urban site, a new mix of uses, the revitalization of an outdated facility or social and environmental sustainability, said Dan Withee, founding partner of the architecture firm. The Gold Nugget Awards are confirmation that we are focusing our energy and creativity on the right issues.

On June 28, when this years awards are presented during the annual Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco, Withee Malcolm will be recognized for their work in four separate categories: Rehab Commercial/Industrial, Unical Aviation, Inc., City of Industry; Mixed-use Project, The Gateway at City Center, Carson; Seniors Housing Community Affordable, City Center, Ontario; and On the Boards Site Plan Central Park Village, Brea.

For Unical Aviation, Withee Malcolms radical renovation turned a bare bones warehouse into an inviting, efficient work environment that reflects the spirit of the new tenant, a fast-growing aviation parts supplier. The adapted facility includes new executive office space, warehouse, shop areas, laboratories and testing operations as well as lunch, exercise, and game rooms, and even a quiet space for yoga.

The Gateway at City Center is a mixed-use community that provides senior affordable housing over ground floor retail. The facility, developed by Thomas Safran Associates, is one of the first to be built in the Carsons Downtown Corridor and its design defines the context for a pedestrian-oriented street scene.

City Center, developed by Related Companies of California in close collaboration with the City of Ontario and the Ontario Housing Authority, as part of the city’s central redevelopment plan, brings senior affordable housing to a convenient downtown location. Withee Malcolm worked Gary R. Collins, design architect, to deliver a building that reflects the civic character and quality of the surrounding community.

Central Park Village, the new masterplan for J.H. Real Estate Partners, Inc. for a centrally located site in the City of Brea introduces a mix of uses that will transform a 14-acre vacated hospital site into a vibrant, sustainable, mixed-use village, where, in exchange for increased densities, the city gains a one-acre park.

Successful projects are the result of shared vision and hard work, says founding partner Dale Malcolm. We are fortunate to be a part of teams that are committed to making a positive difference with their developments and we celebrate these awards with them.

Withee Malcolm Architects serves clients in the residential and commercial industrial markets throughout the West from their offices in Torrance, California. For more information on the firm, visit http://www.witheemalcolm.com
