The US Patent Office has confirmed that the patent application by First American Scientific Corp (FASC) contains allowable subject matter which will result in the granting a new patent for the Kinetic Disintegration System (KDS) biomass processing system developed by the company.

"This is a major breakthrough for us to receive confirmation that our process is unique and innovative in creating alternative fuels from biomass", said Brian Nichols, President of FASC. "Our patent attorney is now preparing the documentation for final submission with the expectation that the new patent should be issued within 60 days. The same application is now before the patent review board in Malaysia where similar approval is expected."

According to Noel Wambeck, P.Eng, consulting engineer and a partner in FASC-Malaysia, the KDS Micronex system plays an integral role in the efficient preparation of biomass into green fuel. "We have searched the world over for viable alternatives, but can find nothing that can compare to the KDS equipment for process, efficiency and cost. The potential for the KDS system in our market is exceptional and the patent approval confirms the KDS system is the front runner in the industry with unparalleled characteristics and value in alternative energy production", he said.

The KDS creates a clean dry powder from all forms of waste biomass in an efficient, cost effective manner without the use of any supplemental fuel. In addition, the end product is EPA certified pathogen free suitable for use as a Class A fertilizer, or can be pelletized into a clean burning fuel which can be used in both domestic or industrial burners.
