CXI (AMEX) - Commodore Applied Technology has a good shot at grabbing a chunk of a huge potential market - toxic waste treatment/disposal. Commodore's proprietary Solvated Electron Technology (SET) is a non-incineration process that neutralizes/destroys a large variety of dangerous substances including; but not limited to, aging chemical weapons such as nerve and mustard gases, PCB's, pesticides, dioxins, and even a variety of nuclear wastes. The CXI technology has tremendous advantages over competing technologies which require incineration; not the least of which is its "tree hugger" appeal. Environmental groups are vehemently opposed to the incineration of toxic substances because of the threat of creating new toxic byproducts as a result of the high temperature incineration process. Another big plus for Commodore's SET process is portability. Processing units can be taken directly to the site, and when treating toxic material such as contaminated soil, the processed soil is sufficiently toxin free to be returned to the environment.

      The potential market for destruction of the world's stockpiles of aging chemical weapons alone is estimated to be in the range of $75 to $100 billion. As of this writing, Commodore is awaiting official notification by the U.S. Department of Defense that its technology has been selected for testing by the Army. Commodore's SET process is one of 6 technologies slated to be tested. Of the 6, the SET process is deemed by many experts to be the most viable. CXI closed Friday at 1.
