The pilot plant pictured above, designed and built by William D. Richardson of RichLabs. The pilot plant was used to process the the material depicted in Figures 1 through 5. The machine had an approximate capacity of 10 cubic yards of cleaned sand per day or 12 tons of raw feed per day. The plant was operated on location from existing power sources.

RichLab's newest pilot plant for the removal of sulfur from crude oil has produced results far exceeding the maximum limitations imposed by the Clean Air and Clean Water Act of 1993. The maximum amount of sulfur a crude oil can contain and meet the requirements for "sweet crude" is 0.5%. The untreated crude oil, " as produced" from Wyoming, had a beginning sulfur content of 3.66%. After treatment with the bio-catalytic enzyme formula the total sulfur content was 0.1086%.
