The Chaplin Resource Group (CRG) has associated with the Department of Energy, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL), to improve efficiencies of Geothermal power production facilities in Nevada and California. The scope of study is focused on the reduction of silica in Geothermal brines. CRG is also evaluating the feasibility of other mineral extraction while in cooperation with Terra-Gen Power, LLC.

Many U. S. Department of Energy laboratories have already been involved in the issue of silica removal from geothermal energy fluids because of the vital importance to enhance renewable energy sources. These labs include LLNL, Idaho National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Toward these same goals (silica and other minerals extraction), CRG has also established a technical association with Chemists and Geochemists of the Dow Chemical Company to study additional means to accomplish the same ends. With Dow we are studying proprietary filtration systems as well as "engineered" Ion Exchange resins.

The Chaplin Resource Group is active in "cleanup" of acid mine drainage (AMD) systems as well and is considering a remediation agreement with the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. A portion of the site under consideration is a "Superfund" area identified by the Environmental Protection Agency. This potential agreement may move forward in the summer of 2009 pending ongoing evaluations and a plan of operation.

On another front, CRG is currently working with Jipangu, Inc
. to establish a "Binary-Fluid" heat engine(s) to allow them to take advantage of their on-site geothermal sources for self powering. The Jipangu (Florida Canyon) operations currently require over 500kwh of electrical energy and may easily self generate and remove themselves from the "grid" to lower operating costs. CRG will also assist to evaluate current Gold recovery systems with specific recommendations toward improved recovery processes.
