Summary: 
Ukrainian company (technology developer and producer of equipment for saving heavy fuel oil and utilization of oil sludge in industrial boilers, furnaces, engines, tanks) is looking for agents for promotion of its technology (under Commercial agreement with technical assistance); also, for partners for sales and joint production for individual projects (Joint venture agreement, License agreement, Manufacturing agreement).
Description: 
A small Ukrainian company since 2002 has been developing technology and since 2007 has been producing equipment for processing heavy fuel to save fuel, reduce harmful emissions and utilize oil sludge for the oil industry. Company combined the experience of more than 500 patents and 30 leading companies. Equipment already operates in the most difficult conditions with the most viscous and low-quality fuels in Russia (Siberia, the Far East, and the Urals), Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Jamaica, Croatia, Syria. Company’s equipment is the most advanced in its class. It is easy to install and compatible without any alterations with boilers, furnaces, engines, tanks. Equipment runs for 3-9 years, does not break, requires minimal maintenance by client’s own staff, has minimum payback period (3-7 months). For owners of boilers – the technology reduces fuel consumption, extends the interval between cleaning of boilers and nozzles, increases the service life of all boiler equipment or engines, allows using cheaper fuel and dramatically reduces emissions in the form of harmful gases, slimes, condensate water. For boiler manufacturers – the technology expands the range of used fuel (competitive advantage), increases life of their equipment, and eliminates emergency situations. Company’s equipment is suitable for sludge disposal, tank cleaning, preventing sedimentation of fuels and natural oil in transit tanks, creating an emulsion or vice versa - dehydration of oil without heating for reduction the viscosity of mineral oil (with reduced amount of additives), for creation of multi-component or mixed liquid fuels. Company’s evidence base contains 300 individually prepared and 157 successfully implemented projects, hundreds of photographs, many films, and several international and national certificates. Several tests were conducted in certified European laboratories, using automated control systems (high precision and objectivity). All results are clearly and demonstrably shown in company’s presentations. Company is looking for 1) agents for promotion of company’s technologies in the field of saving fuel oil and utilization of liquid oil slimes (under Commercial agreement with technical assistance), as well as 2) partners for co-production and sales of equipment and technology for boilers, ships and tank farms (Joint venture agreement, License agreement, Manufacturing agreement). Technology and equipment can be used in the market of fuel oil boilers and industrial furnaces worldwide. Ship engines. Industrial generators of high power. Points of production of natural oil. Ports. Oil storage. Transit oil tanks with ordinary and viscous oil.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought: 
The role of partners - 1. Effective promotion on the market of technologies in the field of saving fuel oil and utilization of liquid oil slimes, recommendations and support work (organization or provision). 2. Joint production, sales and maintanance services of the equipment built with the use of Ukrainian company’s components, experience and knowledge, in the field of oil sludge utilization, pre-treatment of oil, ship installations for the improvement of ship's liquid fuel, etc. Certification according to the local market requirements. General requirement for the partner is the possibility of self-financing of joint projects. Intermediaries and grantees are not considered. From Ukrainian company’s side - training, technical assistance, technical study of projects, participation in installation, technical policy, organization of warranty works, development of related technologies.
Stage of Development: 
Already on the market
Comments Regarding Stage of Development: 
The equipment is constantly being modernized on the basis of practical experience gained, feedback from customers, analysis of models that have worked for a long time and additional experiments. Equipment has become even more reliable, requires less energy, the result of processing is better, also available for demonsration.
IPR Status: 
Secret Know-how
Comments Regarding IPR Status: 
Technology consists of 3 technical components: 1. Individuality, individual project for each individual client. 2. Optimal design of devices, which is necessary for the task. 3. Huge accumulated experience, to eliminate problems during installation, start-up and operation. This, as well as the absence of a formal patent, makes illegal copying difficult (company protection strategy). At the request of a partner, company can provide patent formulas for obtaining a patent, as well as some old patents, which will make groundless possible claims of third parties.
