Soil Net, LLC is a Polymer “Solutions-based” company on the forefront of designing new technologies for a number of different applications, including polymer based vegetable oil refining, bio-diesel refining, erosion control, waste separation and transformation and water clarification. These technologies are developed by creating solutions based on existing know how, and then furthered using our in-house laboratory facilities for the experimental development stage. Once favorable results are achieved a lab scale pilot system is built and tested. This platform-to-platform development process yields outcomes designed to link seamless with previously existing technologies in a financially prudent manner. An example of this is the Accelerated Renewable Energy (ARE) Consortium a University of Wisconsin – Soil Net – Maple Leaf Dairy Partnership funded by a $7 million dollar grant, for which Dr. Roa-Espinosa is a co-PI and Soil Net LLC is a major subcontractor. Dr. Roa was selected by the University of Wisconsin alumni for the 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award, for graduates that have made a difference around the world. He is an expert in polymer chemistry, solids separation, soil and water engineering and holds numerous patents including "Separation of Biocomponents from Whole Stillage" which is licensed to Harvesting Technology LLC.
