Regarding the Company marketing IPE we have this:

Demeter Systems LLC is a holding company (which owns four operating companies)

Demeter Systems LLC is a holding company (which owns four operating companies) whose objective is to commercialize an exciting and innovative new technology that has application in a number of industries relating to raw materials and energy resources. Treated materials and resources are made safer and more efficient through Demeter's patented technologies.

This technology is "Inorganic Polymer Electret" (IPE™). IPE was developed by Vanderbilt University faculty member, Dr. Robert Holcomb. The technology has application in four specific market segments that include coal, water, fuel and wood.

IPE is itself non-polluting. It combines a chemical compound and a physical process whereby ingredients common in nature (i.e., sand, water, alkali, etc.) are blended in a patented process to yield a solution with properties that are advantageous in many applications.

 

Demeter Systems' Operating Companies

Green Coal LLC (Coal)
Reduces harmful emissions and enhances combustion

ROM Technologies LLC (Water)
Cost effective method to purify and condition water

Emissions Control LLC (Gasoline, Diesel)
Reduces harmful emissions and improves gas mileage

Electro-Chem LLC (Wood)
Comprehensive process which improves durability and strength as well as providing fire retardancy, insect resistance and "rot" protection

 

Demeter's initial focus will be in the coal industry. Green Coal LLC manufactures and markets a coal processing method that significantly reduces emissions of Sulfur Dioxide and other pollutants by as much as 95% and, at the same time, increases the Btu content of the coal by as much as 10%.

Intellectual Property

Demeter's intellectual property is protected by a portfolio of US and foreign patents (both issued and pending).

Vanderbilt University

Vanderbilt University, through its Chancellor Fund, has made a seed investment into the Company. In addition, the Company has entered into a management contract with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University, the Vanderbilt University Technology Company (VUTC).
