WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Jan. 6, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PMDP - News) announced today that the firm, in conjunction with Environmental Solutions, has issued a statement providing a pro-forma outline on the monetary benefits of solvent, which represents forty-six percent (46%) of the output. Other products of the converter will serve to greatly improve the profit margins of the tire converter.



Plateau's converter will generate solvent, carbon black and enough natural gas to operate in remote sites without additional power. The proposed unit is capable of processing approximately 6.25 lbs. of total product per minute.



At 6.25 lbs. per minute, 3,000 lbs. per 8-hour work day can be generated and transformed into approximately 7 gallons of solvent which sells for approximately $40/gallon, generating $7885.60 in revenue per day, which can lead to $157,712 per month. Additionally, solvent can be used to dissolve paraffin and to reduce the viscosity of heavy oils.



The market for carbon black includes the manufacturing of new tires as well as for producing batteries, making it an even more important commodity. Carbon black sells for approximately $0.46 per pound and is not included in the pro-forma above for the solvent.



Robert Matthews of Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. states, "We find that there's clearly a great profitability when it comes to the end products of the converter. Solvent, carbon black and natural gas are three items with high demand in the marketplace."
