Agri-Tech Producers LLC 

ATP’s CRBBP Process

We can fight climate change on Earth and help grow food on Mars. Agri-Tech Producers LLC’s patented Combined Remediation Biomass and Bio-Product Production (CRBBP) process provides a cost-effective method of growing bio-crops. Through a multitasking feature, the process can use produced biomass to capture carbon dioxide; produce oxygen; or clean air, soil and water. The resulting biomass can be converted into environmentally beneficial bio-products and sugars.

Aperiomics Inc. 

Xplore-PATHO Microbial Identification Technology

Existing pathogen testing is inadequate–up to 80% of infections go undiagnosed costing the U.S. economy billions each year. Traditional tests require one to know what they are looking for, but Aperiomics’ approach identifies every known microorganism–even if you don’t know what you are looking to find. The technology has broad application across diverse markets. Xplore-PATHOTM is transformative and is changing pathogen identification forever.
