History of N/C Quest
October 30, 2018
Hello and welcome to Bio-Agtive, N/C Quest Inc. ("NCQ") is an energetic international company incorporated in 2005 after five years of research and development into the Bio-Agtive Emissions Technology by Mr. Gary Lewis. Gary's family homesteaded in southern Alberta over 100 years ago, and have been farming there ever since. NCQ is the parent company that licenses the Bio-Agtive technology at the farm gate which rings back to agriculture what has been lost over the last 100 years.
Gary's quest to understand plant physiology began in 2001 when their irrigated crops failed to grow after applying the recommended amounts of fertilizer to the export Timothy hay fields. The economics of crop production was the driving force that caused him to begin his quest for a biological solution.
Gary recognized that the traditional synthetic ways of agriculture, that had been by science over the past 100 years had sustainability, environmental and economic problems. Gary's challenge is to change this tradition.
Bio-Agtive is the trademarked name that describes one of the newest technologies in agriculture today. The method was founded and patented by Gary Lewis a fourth generation Canadian farmer that operates a family farm in the Pincher Creek area in southern Alberta. In Gary's travels all over the world, he finds the soil similar in its mineral make up. The big difference is how much carbon the plants have been able or allowed to store and how much carbon has been lost to farming practices.
An excessive reliance on nitrogenous fertilizer follows the destruction of the soils carbon or humus base. The Bio-Agtive Method recycles your agriculture internal combustion engine emissions into plant nutrients by cooling the exhaust down through our Bio-Agtive System which is designed to capture, cool, condition and inject your emissions onto the plants or into the soil.
The production system that N/C Quest produces are suited for improving plant growth characteristics of a plant growing medium, for example agricultural soil. Generally the method involves adding a carbon nanotube seeding material to the fuel of an international combustion engine to produce a fuel mixture which is combusted by the engine in pyrolysis to produce black carbon ultrafine and nano soot in the exhaust emissions which are captured for conditioning such that the nano carbon soot is processed into carbon nanotubes for subsequent delivery to the plant growing medium.
Although the various components of the system will be described in further detail, the overall production system generally includes an agricultural tractor or the like with an internal combustion engine operated by a combustion control system in a pyrolysis air fuel ratio to produce optimum ultra-fine and nano soot black carbon. A fuel blending system introduces into a mixture of various fuels, elements that are the starter seed to the desired carbon nanotubes (CNT) to be produced which can include signal wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), double wall carbon nanotube (DWCNT), multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT).
