The
TCG study, concluded in mid-Summer of 2002, put an emphasis on
the stage of the industry and the need for the appropriate
strategic partners. The decline of aviation orders following
September 11 put constraints on the use of the technology, given
the drop of titanium prices. Still, our patents are yet to be
tested on a commercial scale. It is our claim that even with the
current titanium prices we can outperform existing recycling
technologies to a degree that it will ensure the commercial
viability of our patents.
The
value of our patents could prove to extent beyond the titanium
industry. For example, the unique capacities of the
cone-inertial crusher could find applications for many other
metals. It is interesting to note the observations of TCG
regarding this matter: “ … the crusher developed in the ISTC-funded
project appears to be unique and generally of a different use
than devices currently patented. Current devices are used
principally in the crushing of rock and minerals into certain
small sizes. The cone crusher developed in the ISTC project
allows crushing of metals into a powder, and provides the
ability to choose a coarse or fine texture. These appear to be
differentiating factors from devices presently on the market.”
Titanium Technologies LLC seeks strategic partners for
developing its technologies. For inquiries, you may email
or call Andreas Karas in the Washington, D.C. office; his direct
line: 1 (202) 362 – 0750.
