CALGARY, Sept. 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Petrosonic Energy, Inc. (PSON:OTCBB) is pleased to announce that it has signed a cooperation agreement with a leading private Emulsion Technology Company for the Upstream and Downstream Oil Industry that has an exclusive license in a heavy crude and asphaltene emulsification patented technology. According to the agreement the private company has committed to set up a 120 bbl/hour heavy crude and asphaltene emulsification plant in Petrosonic 's Heavy Oil Processing Plant located in Albania.

"This is another major milestone in our strategy to commercialize our technology and consolidate our marketing strategy and create further value for our shareholders" stated Art Agolli, CEO of Petrosonic Energy, Inc.

The investment projected for the equipment being shipped from California, USA and assembly cost is approximately $1 million USD and will be paid entirely by the private company. In addition, Petrosonic will benefit from the technical know-how and expertize of the private company who is a world leader in the emulsification of heavy crude and asphaltenes.
