Saving the Planet? Savastat-USA Is Doing Its Part
One American company is on a mission to lessen the strain on US businesses from soaring energy costs. These costs are wreaking havoc with the budgets of non-profits and eating profits nationwide. Savastat-USA, led by CEO Mary Ann Shatto, is canvassing the country with technology new to the US market but applied successfully in many parts of the world for over a decade.
(PRWEB) June 15, 2005 -- One American company is on a mission to lessen the strain on US businesses from soaring energy costs. These costs are wreaking havoc with the budgets of non-profits and eating profits nationwide. Savastat-USA, led by CEO Mary Ann Shatto, is canvassing the country with technology new to the US market but applied successfully in many parts of the world for over a decade.
Savastat-USA is the US distributor for a line of products that reduces the consumption of natural gas, propane, and fuel oil used for heating by a minimum of 15% annually; saves over 20% on the costs of hot water heating, and those two product lines are just the tip of the iceberg. Savastat-USA also provides proven solutions for a water treatment industry that has been reeling from legislation in many communities and states that are banning water softeners and conditioners because of the negative impact on the environment.
When asked why her organization was so optimistic about its role in the market place, the CEO’s answer was simple, “Timing. Many sectors of the US market are suffering and searching for solutions that will not only save them money, which has a direct impact on their bottom line, but also offer environmental benefits like reducing co2 emissions as well.” She continued saying, ”When you can help an organization like the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice reduce its heating energy usage by 17.5% and also provide the added benefit of reducing co2 emissions, it gives everyone involved the feeling that they just helped save the planet.”
The commitment within the Savastat-USA organization is commendable and noticeable. From the corporate boardroom to regional management to the dealer network, this company is focused and motivated. “The goal is green,” Shatto states, “green meaning we know that the benefits of our technologies result in cleaner air and water, reduced dependency on foreign energy sources, and increasing the amount of money our clients can retain in their budgets. We work closely with branches of the US Department of Energy like Smart Energy Schools and Rebuild America because of our like-minded goals and direction. When a school district like Windsor Local Schools in Vermont is able to put over 15% of its heating budget back into its general fund as a direct result of lowering energy consumption with a return on investment well under 12 months and reallocate the money to books or learning programs – there is a deep sense of satisfaction in that.”
Savastat-USA currently offers three product lines: the Savastat LC Series for closed-loop hot water boiler systems; the Savastat HW Series for direct fired hot water heaters; and the Savastat SC Series for water treatment. The LC Series saves an average of 15% to 23% on boiler energy consumption. The HW Series for direct fire hot water heaters typically saves 20% of energy consumption on electric or gas hot water systems. The SC Series for the physical water treatment markets removes scale and prevents corrosion in steam boilers, humidifiers, chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers and hot water systems. Recent research proves that it also kills bacteria. Over 300,000 units have been installed worldwide with a 100% success rate.
And the Savastat SC-P for the hot tub and commercial swimming pool market reduces chemical use by 70% and backwashing by 75% while removing bacteria and providing crystal clear water. These award-winning products have been used successfully overseas for years. They are distributed throughout the United States by the Savastat-USA Dealer Network and also by the Savastat-USA Sales Team.
When asked about skeptics and competition, Savastat-USA’s CEO replied that there truly isn’t any direct competition for these technologies. For example, the Savastat LC Series works with building management systems and other energy savings measures that may already be in place. Ms. Shatto explains, “Many of our clients are already using weather optimizers or advanced controls from companies like Siemens, JCI, or Honeywell and think that our product can’t help them, but when we show them the additional benefits of adding our product to compliment their current conservation strategy, then adding our products becomes an obvious means of increasing the bottom line.”
“When you look at the long list of notable businesses that use the Savastat technologies like Mercedes Benz, NASA, IBM, Nestles, or Lockheed Martin Space Operations, it is hard for skeptics to argue with success.” The Savastat-USA Chief Executive Officer smiled and said, “Now you know why we wake up every day feeling that we can help save the planet.”

As a result of over 400 hours of research they compiled for use in their own projects, they’ve produced the most incredible collection of information on 900+ fuel-stingy inventions specifically built for increasing gas mileage. There has never been anything like it made available to the public before. Their no-installation-needed CD even includes a dynamite fully functional search engine that reveals all the details, drawings, specifications and comments from their inventors. As company CEO Barbara Allais states: “We are so sure you’ll be satisfied that the CD even comes with a 10-day money-back guarantee if you’re not completely happy with it”!
(PRWEB) June 12, 2005 -- Vapor Systems Technology Inc. (http://fuelvapors.com) of Spring Valley, California is an R&D company involved in projects that deal with increasing gas mileage and fuel economy through the use of gas saving fuel systems, also known as fuel vaporizers, or vapor fuel systems.
As a result of over 400 hours of research they compiled for use in their own projects, they’ve produced the most incredible collection of information on 900+ fuel-stingy inventions specifically built for increasing gas mileage. There has never been anything like it made available to the public before. Their no-installation-needed CD even includes a dynamite fully functional search engine that reveals all the details, drawings, specifications and comments from their inventors. As company CEO Barbara Allais states: “We are so sure you’ll be satisfied that the CD even comes with a 10-day money-back guarantee if you’re not completely happy with it”!
It’s fairly common knowledge that gasoline introduced into an engine in liquid form by carburetor or fuel injector needs to be changed into a vapor before it will burn. Liquid fuel simply won’t ignite. The heat of the engine partially helps vaporize fuel, but most of the liquid gasoline introduced goes out the exhaust as unburned fuel. That's why it’s currently necessary to have catalytic converters, and other types of emission control devices. There is, however, a much better, more efficient way.
Back in 1932, Charles Nelson Pogue built a vapor system that was tested by Ford Motor Company and Winnepeg Motor Company of Canada. Instead of using conventional methods of dispensing liquid gasoline into the engine, he created a superheating device that boiled the fuel into a dry vapor. It was documented that his system got over 205 miles per gallon, and it sent shock waves through the Stock Market as oil shares plunged at the announcement of the results! For whatever reason, his device never made it to market, and he suddenly became a very prosperous manager of an oil filter company. But regardless of that, the cat had been let out of the bag...
In the 1970's, a young man named Tom Ogle of El Paso, Texas turned the automotive world on it's ear with an astounding claim of over 100 miles per gallon with his vaporizer-equipped V8 Ford (see the actual US patent by following the website link below).
His story was well-documented in the El Paso Times newspaper, and the half-dozen articles can be obtained through the El Paso Library research division (justs ask for information about the Oglemobile as it came to be known). Mr. Ogle took the local press on test drives multiple times, thereby proving his claims. One of the stories reports that a Shell Oil Company representative asked him what he would do if someone offered him a very large sum of money (reportedly $25 Million). He said he’d not be interested, he was going to bring it to market. Unfortunately, shortly afterward Mr. Ogle met with an untimely demise before he could realize his dream.
The author of this CD, Vapor Systems Technology president David Steckling, is an ASE-Certified Automobile and Heavy Truck Master Technician, was a California state smog inspector for nearly 20 years, and is now a technical editor at the leading automobile repair information company in the world. He brings over 25 years of experience in the industry. On top of that, he is a college graduate in Computer Science. While preparing to build their own fuel vaporizing projects, his company chose to see what had already been done. With all those qualifications, Vapor Systems Technology has produced a top quality product that bears the results of over 400 hours of research.
There are a number of ways to vaporize fuel. Following are some of them: exhaust, electric or coolant-heated, catalytic, ultra-sonic, exhaust-blended, steam-blended, hydrogen converter, etc. VST chose the best, most effective systems, and put over 900 of them on the disc! It even has a search engine installed directly on the CD, so that any desired info can quickly be found without guesswork. Over 650 of these systems have expired patents, and can be built, or even sold, by anyone. Every conceivable tip, research result, building recommendation and helpful hint from the inventors is right at your fingertips.
Rumors of these types of systems have been around for years, but now, thanks to the internet, the truth can come out and be available to everyone. Virtually every fuel vapor system that ever enjoyed success is on this CD, and if you would like to stop paying at the pump, and build yourself a vaporizer, this product is a must.

Airbus Gets a New Nose from Sacmi
Electronic olfactory systems developed by the Sacmi Group to be used for air quality monitoring on airliners
(PRWEB) June 11, 2005 -- The “electronic noses” developed by Sacmi will soon be used to monitor the interior of the Airbus airliner to detect the presence of dangerous, flammable or explosive substances. The European consortium that produces these airliners is working together with Sacmi on European project Nanos4 (Nano-structured solid state gas sensors with superior performance), one of the STRP (Strategic Targeted Research Projects) programs financed by the European Union as part of the 6th Research Plan.
The purpose of the 3-year project, launched in 2004, is to develop new gas sensors and electronic olfactory devices to monitor air quality inside airliners. While the focus is on potentially inflammable or dangerous substances, the research is also aimed at the detection of ozone in meteorological applications, the measurement of emissions from industrial plants with a high olfactory impact and the detection of gas emitted by combustion processes.

In the St. Louis, Missouri manufacturing facility, pressurized bag filters used in the fill area were generating a lot of waste. During a batch run, up to twenty filter bags were replaced and thrown away. Progressive Ink was concerned about the large amounts of waste generated and its effect on the environment. There were other problems too. Occasionally, a bag would rupture and contaminate the ink being processed for shipping. Progressive Ink also experienced variations in the filtering performance of the bags.
(PRWEB) June 9, 2005 -- Situation:
Progressive Ink manufactures printing inks for flexible packaging, such as snack packaging, milk cartons and bread bags. In the St. Louis, Missouri manufacturing facility, pressurized bag filters used in the fill area were generating a lot of waste. During a batch run, up to twenty filter bags were replaced and thrown away. Progressive Ink was concerned about the large amounts of waste generated and its effect on the environment. There were other problems too. Occasionally, a bag would rupture and contaminate the ink being processed for shipping. Progressive Ink also experienced variations in the filtering performance of the bags.
Our Solution:
With few solutions available on the market, Progressive Ink had trouble finding a filter that could filter tight enough to meet the industry requirements of at least 75 micron retention. Their extensive search ended with the Ronningen-Petter Mechanically-Cleaned DCF filter — which offered filtration capabilities well beyond the industry standard. The company installed a DCF-800 filter that filters to 50 micron. It is equipped with pneumatic timers, Teflon®‚ seals, a pneumatic actuator used to move the disc and clean the screen and a purge valve actuator that, when activated, rids the housing of collected debris. Operation of the DCF is easy, and it features a stainless steel pressure-rated housing. The DCF’s filtering screen is specially machined so material will not get wedged into the media surface.
Results:
The DCF filter’s specially machined filtering screen offers concise and consistent particle retention, so Progressive Ink no longer suffers from variations in filtering performance. And, Progressive Ink is able to reprocess its collected waste. Waste collected by the Ronningen-Petter DCF filter is highly concentrated, so that overall purge volume is extremely small. The small amounts of waste collected in the DCF purge chamber are transferred back to the premix tank. Reprocessing rather than disposing of collected waste saves disposal costs and reduces product loss. Progressive Ink is also very pleased with the consistently low differential pressure the DCF filter maintains, and the even throughput levels it provides to the fill line.
Conclusion:
The Ronningen-Petter DCF filter provides environmentally sound filtration while improving the ink’s overall quality. Frank Davis, maintenance superintendent at Progressive Ink said, “We plan to replace all of our bags with DCF filters.”

UBiee Team Signs Radio and Television Contract
The UBiee Team’s melodic amphitheater of life and friendship is now resonating across the airwaves.
(PRWEB) June 9, 2005 -- The UBiee Team, already communicating on 3Wtel Superior VoIP and currently broadcasting daily in Chile via RadioUbiee, recently signed a Television and Radio contract to promote their newest global business addition, the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3. Multi-lingual productions in both Spanish and English will be broadcast throughout Latin and North America.
While the international community is recoiling from record high fuel prices, the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3 rises to the challenge by providing savings in fuel economy and simultaneously supporting a healthier environment, availing itself for both gasoline and diesel fuel consumers.
Worldwide record high fuel prices not only affects the transportation industry, but disseminates throughout the entire global economy as increases are inevitably passed down to every household and business.
According to the New Hampshire Business Review on May 12, 2005, section entitled, Rising Diesel Costs Leave Truckers Road-Weary,
“Diesel fuel prices have risen more than 60 cents over 37 percent – in the last year, with New Hampshire’s trucking and freight companies feeling the pinch. And consumers will soon.”
Scott Beltramini, Vice President of Manchester Motor Freight, states,
“We’re paying $125 to $150 more per tankful over last year….It used to cost about $300 per fill-up for a truck, now it’s closer to $450. That’s huge.”
John Bromley, Union Pacific Corporation’s spokesman reports,
“…the company’s trains consume between 1.3 billion and 1.4 billion gallons of diesel fuel a year. That has had a huge impact on us. If it (the price of diesel fuel) goes up or down a penny (per gallon), that's $13 million."
Kathryn Blackwell, a spokeswoman for Union Pacific stated that,
“Union Pacific spent even more on fuel…the railroad spent $416 million, or about 33 percent, more than the $1.3 billion the railroad spent on fuel in 2003."
Spokesperson Susan Rosenberg for Global shipper UPS observed a 35% increase in fuel costs last year and stated,
"That figure represents a $1.4 billion increase worldwide in 2004 over 2003…"
TheCyberTruckStop.com recently added a link for “…news related to the unprecedented rise in diesel fuel prices this year” to provide the trucking community up-to-date information.
While newspapers, television, radio, and internet meticulously report rising fuel prices and ensuing problematic effects, the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3 proudly makes available one simple solution – one simple solution in the form of a pill for smaller consumers, and liquid barrels for larger consumers.
Documented reports have shown that using the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3 in gasoline or diesel powered engines not only increases fuel economy, but offers an environmental pollution solution, amidst numerous other monetary benefits.
Independent tests performed by Productivity Standards Board of Singapore, Hong Kong Government Testing Laboratory, and AA (Automotive Associations) Independent Testing Centers, confirmed that the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3:
- Increased mileage
- Reduced emissions
- Reduced carbon deposits
- Increased octane
- Improved engine performance
- Prevented valve recession
To all gasoline and diesel fuel consumers, this translates into substantial savings.
Freight Transport Association reported that after using the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3,
“…there has been an 11.5% increase in the price of fuel between 30 April 2004 and 29 April 2005.”
David Lloyd, of DF Lloyd & Son, Palmerstong North, New Zealand reported that his trucking company meticulously monitored the effects of using UBiee PowerPill Fe-3, and
“…On average to date we have been achieving an 11.2% saving on fuel per tank. In business terms this gives us a cost advantage over competitors that enables us to maximize the potential within our industry more competitively. This product ‘UBiee PowerPill Fe-3’ is a fantastic example of innovation when looking for new business opportunities….”
The UBiee PowerPill Fe-3 is also an incomparable environmentally friendly pollution solution, combating the six major pollutant gases hosting significant health impacts: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur oxide, and hydrocarbons (benzene, terpene,etc.).
Independent tests also reported that the UBiee PowerPill Fe-3:
- Reduced harmful carbon monoxide exhaust emissions by 78%
- Reduced smoke pollutants by 73%
- Reduced hydrocarbon emissions by 23%
To fuel consumers, this represents a bonus of actively participating in eliminating global pollution. The environmentally harmonious UBiee PowerPill Fe-3 is made of non-toxic, all natural formulation, with 100% active ingredients. It simply improves fuel combustion by enabling engines to burn completely with absolutely no residue left.
The UBiee Power Pill Fe-3, reverberating good news broadcasts across the airwaves via television, radio, and Internet, is a distinct example of the UBiee Team’s extraordinary resolve to provide another beneficial global solution.
Guided and united by honest and altruistic business principles, where caring transcends business, the UBiee Team continues to offer liberation to the human spirit beyond self imposed limitations, while simultaneously providing a safe haven during the transition from eliminating global poverty to attaining healthy wealth.

Predictive, Sci-Fi book, 'Unlimited Energy', Released Today, May Stagger, Leading Scientists
'Unlimited Energy' is a multi-level predictive fiction set in 2022, that sets out to solve the looming energy and pollution crisis of the time. It uses cutting edge science to bring about realizable solutions. Mind Control at a new level for those worried about Conspiracy theory and machines. Released in time for, live 8,G8, this should add to the discussions
(PRWEB) June 3, 2005 -- In reading, ‘Unlimited Energy’ I first thought the book which was released today[June 1] was going to be just a frolic in the near future. It has turned out to be much more and has a depth, which, in view of the fact that it was written four years ago, will stagger many scientists and energy corporations.
‘Unlimited Energy’ explains many things in a simple manner and extraordinarily coincides with today’s revelation from the ‘Millennium Project’. The book describes the start of the universe in terms of dark matter, and super fluid vortices and gravitational containment effects.
Going even further is the effect of light on the Galaxy and the evolvement of light and it’s shearing effect on the cosmos. The effects of capturing huge amounts of light in super fiber optics is said to produce inertia coils.
The main line of this complex feat is to promote the use of non polluting renewable energy and two theories are played out throughout the book. First is the use of a two mile high tower. Second is the logic for, and production of a source of renewable energy that could be safely carried in your pocket and is the equivalent of bottled sunlight. The Author claims to have done the initial development work.
The hero is teamed up with a multi-peta byte animate, beautiful of course, to solve problems caused by pollution and a serious lack of oil in 2022. There is also an in depth discussion throughout the book of the growth of artificially induced intelligence and it’s combination with human intelligence to produce something that will save mankind from the machines of the future. An insight into how consciousness develops is thought provoking.
Some parts of the story are technical and will not be appreciated by all. However they can be easily skipped through without any loss of the plot. ‘Unlimited Energy’ is written in a style that we associate with ‘Star Trek’ or ‘Farscape’. The reader will appreciate that this is a language that is universally understood and that the book is intended for all countries.
Finally ‘Unlimited Energy’ is a book that is written as much for women as for men and sex scenes are tastefully described in a poetic way. This is an amazing romp, with a very serious message, through several countries including Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and USA.

Royal Auction Services Launches Exclusive Internet Auction Module
Internet Bidders to vie with Floor Bidders using the company's exclusive Live Auction Website
Chase City, VA (PRWEB) June 4, 2005 -- The live auction industry grew to a whopping $217.2 billion in sales in the year 2004, according to The National Auctioneer's Association.
"Combine the rising popularity of live auctions with the growth potential of the Internet, and you can see why traditional Auction Houses need to take their auctions online" says Jim Francis, President of Royal Auction Services, a traditional full-service auction house based in Virginia.
The Internet Live Auction market is currently dominated by the likes of eBay Live.com and ProxyBid.com. However, there is plenty of scope for traditional brick-and-mortar auction houses, which can provide a wider range of services and facilities to its customers.
"A full-service auction house can provide much more than a platform for buying and selling online" asserts Francis. Currently in its fifth year of operation, Royal Auction Services is in the final stages of implementing its Internet-based live auction module. But the company is no newcomer to the area of live auctions, with two generations of live auction experience and an auction facility that is "one of the largest in the area."
Citing 'Service' as their competitive edge, the company boasts of facilities that no Internet-based auction company can match, including:
- Spacious live auction facility.
- Capability to conduct auctions at the consignor's site.
- Several acres of secure, fenced-in storage area at the Chase City Fairgrounds.
- 10,000-sq. ft. retail store for year-round display and direct sales.
- Several large tractor-trailers to move heavy machinery, excess inventory or an entire estate in one trip. Smaller trucks and trailers for smaller consignments.
- Dedicated online auction module and phone bidding service.
- eBay trading assistance for small or unique consignments, with daily UPS pick-up and freight services.
- Option to purchase direct from sellers
- Experienced staff to serve the needs of businesses, financial organizations, local government, professionals and individual consignors.
"While our primary aim is to enable remote bidders and consignors to participate in our live auctions," said Francis, "We were surprised that a remarkable number of local buyers wanted to bid online," he added.
"Despite being a registered trading assistant on eBay, we opted to develop our own online auction website for the exclusive use of our customers," said Francis "We wanted to make online auctions more cost-competitive for everyone. With most of our large auction events, the added eBay fees would have made it impractical to bid online. Also, we need to keep our floor bidders informed about sale results."
With traditional auction houses taking their auctions online, customers can enjoy 'the best of both worlds' by taking part in a live auction online. "Imagine the convenience of bidding from your home PC, coupled with a wide range of services and facilities that only a full-service, traditional auction house can provide. That's our Internet auction module for you," concluded Francis, setting an exciting precedent for the future of live auction events.
Royal Auctions will conduct it’s trial run of it new auction module on June 24, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. Internet customers will be able to bid from the comfort of their homes, against the live crowd at the auction house. Registration is required prior to the auction for all attendee’s that wish to participate in the bidding. Photo’s and descriptions of the items will be posted on the website well in advance of the auction.

U.S. Manufacturers Resist Natural Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Online Sales Leads
New study shows how poorly U.S. manufacturers use natural search engine optimization (SEO) as an online marketing strategy to generate new sales leads.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) June 1, 2005 -- A new study of 350 U.S manufacturers found that most of these companies fail to embrace basic natural search engine optimization (SEO) techniques that can help trigger online sales leads.
“U.S. Manufacturers Resist Natural Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Online Sales Leads,” prepared by Cleveland, Ohio-based Fathom SEO (http://www.fathomseo.com), covers such SEO topics as web site page titles and META descriptions, site architecture barriers and visible text.
The report, for example, notes that 75% of U.S. manufacturers don’t appear to use effective keywords in the home page title tag, which heavily influences how well a web site will rank on search engines. More than 80% don’t use a suitable title on primary interior pages, such as the about or product summary pages.

Manufacturers also can take a quick survey about whether they use SEO strategies. Fill out the survey here: http://www.fathomseo.com/manufacturing-seo-survey.asp
“It doesn’t make sense for manufacturers to ignore SEO,” said Michael Murray, vice president of Fathom SEO. “Whether it’s one local facility or a large company with many regional offices, these businesses often sell throughout the United States, and globally in some cases. An effective SEO strategy can take them to the top of search engines – a prime way to attract new customers.”
Online searches aren’t limited to celebrities, news and sports, Murray said. Plenty of business owners hunt for everything from bearings to plastics.
The study, which includes META tag case studies and insights about keyword selection, also found that most manufacturing web sites include a reasonable amount of visible text that could be optimized with search terms – if companies make the effort. Manufacturers also avoid splash pages (with the “skip intro” button) and frame architectures that may limit rankings.
Murray is available to discuss the study, search engine marketing tactics and related trends. He can be reached at 216.861.5951 ext. 111.
