PetroSun BioFuels and the Town of Gilbert, Arizona have executed an agreement to commence an algae-to-biofuels wastewater pilot program at the Neely Wastewater Reclamation Facility, which is operated by Severn Trent Services.

The purpose of the program is to evaluate the feasibility of using wastewater as a source of nutrients and water for the cultivation of algae to be processed into feedstock for biodiesel.

The Town of Gilbert will be offered the biodiesel produced from the program at the actual cost of production and processing.

PetroSun, Inc. is a diversified energy company with technology and operations in oil, natural gas, and helium exploration, development and production, commercialization of algae-to-biofuels, microbial-enhanced oil recovery, and oilfield pipe and supply.
