- $100,000 already received, with remainder cash payments contractually defined
- Launches Philippines and Vietnam Markets
Tampa, Florida – May 27, 2009 – MagneGas Corporation (“MagneGas” or the “Company”) (OTC BB: MNGA), a producer of a metal cutting fuel and natural gas alternative made from liquid waste, announced today that it has secured its first equipment purchase order. MagneGas is scheduled to receive a total of $1.2 million in exchange for a proprietary MagneGas Plasma Arc FlowTM refinery, one intended to immediately service the Philippines and Vietnam markets.
MagneGas entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) on May 18, 2009, and has already received a $100,000 deposit from purchaser American Investment Co (American). American will pay MagneGas the remaining $1.1 million according to the following schedule:
- $390,000 to commence construction, payable within 6 months of the signing of the MOU
- Balance of $710,000 due prior to delivery of the refinery
“We are extremely pleased with the prospect of expanding our business to the Philippines and Vietnam,” stated MagneGas President Richard Connelly. “We are moving from platform development to tangible commercial progress. We have leaps yet to make, but with this purchase order we have graduated from the pre-revenue class to a growing alternative fuels influencer.”
As part of the purchase of the refinery, American will be the exclusive distributor for the MagneGasTM Technology for the Philippines and Vietnam markets ” We are thrilled to be the exclusive distributors for this market, as we see a tremendous need for clean water and fuel in the Philippines and Vietnam. We will provide badly needed fuel for metal cutting and cooking, while cleaning the rivers and providing nutrient-rich irrigation water, a commodity currently in very short supply,” stated American President Calvin Suva and co-founder Danilo Suva.
