LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2015) - Robix Alternative Fuels, Inc. ("Robix" or the "Company") (CSE:RZX)(R0X.F)
announced today that as a result of meetings with senior
representatives of Petroleos Mexicanos ("Pemex") that commenced in July,
2015 in Villahermosa, Mexico (see Robix press release dated July 8,
2015), and Robix's newly formed joint venture ("JV") between its Mexican
subsidiary, Corris Technologies Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Petrolmeca S.A.
de C.V. (see Robix press release dated May 4, 2015), the JV has
received technical and legal approval by Pemex to design and build a
land based P-Series oil spill recovery platform (launched in September
2015, see Robix press release dated September 2, 2015) for use in one of
its large oil production settling ponds. Once budget allocation has
been finalized by Pemex, construction of the P Series recovery platform
will commence. It is anticipated that the P Series will be deployed to
site in the first quarter of 2016, and that it will be subject to a
services agreement with a multi-year fixed term.
The P
Series uses patented drum technology to siphon oil from the surface of
the ponds within oil production facilities. The recovered oil is
recirculated within the customer's facility. The agreement with Pemex
contemplates deployment of the Robix P140. This drum technology is also
used in the Company's C Series oil spill recovery vessels which target
marine applications.
"The Robix patented oil
recovery drum technology is truly versatile and suited to multiple
platform configurations," commented Nathan Hansen, President and CEO or
Robix. "Oil recovery from settling ponds in a production setting is an
exciting application for the Robix technology. Optimization of
production facilities is key to oil producers globally and I believe
that our land based solution can be duplicated in production facilities
throughout Mexico and indeed globally." Hansen continued, "We have taken
technology that was developed to mitigate oil spill accidents and
applied it to new markets. Staying nimble and innovative is crucial in
this market place and this is a testament to our team and our partners.
This represents a new revenue stream for Robix and I believe the market
opportunity is tremendous."
