FST's double closed loop system with Zero Discharge overcomes the poor water quality problems currently facing existing and new fish farms in Egypt today.  The FST system would receive the secondary agriculture water, treat it with mechanical, chemical and biological filters to attain the highest quality of water to grow healthy fish.  Once the fish and vegetable tanks are built and filled to full capacity, the double closed loop system requires less than 0.5% of new water per day.  The FST fish farm of 1 million gallon that produces 1 million lbs. of fish per year requires less than 5,000 gallons per day of new water to replace fish waste water, that is filtered and separated from the water returned to the fish tank. The fish waste liquid solids pass through the BONANZA nitrogen reactor which converts the toxic waste into liquid fertilizer that replaces the water lost from plant absorption.  Fish feed cost appears to be another problem, that FST intends to overcome with live feeds that form part of the fish farm design.  This will allow the farm management to operate independence of imported feed suppliers that would increase profits and quality.  The FST system is designed to be powered by solar energy, which allows the FST system to be establish in isolated areas regardless of temperature, soil conditions, power supply or water supply.   
                     SIXTEEN WEEK PLAN FOR FST TO DEVELOP A FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR EGYPT 
The figures below are a ballpark estimate for food and finance security in Egypt and how land can be utilized. The figures below are NOT specific by any means but they are an indication of the new technology that FST can introduce. 
1.              REPORT FOR EGYPTIAN LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 5,000 HECTARES
In order to establish accurate and specific performance and production levels for certainty in crop types, and yield for the fish feed and consumption, calculations will require approximately 3 weeks to complete. 

Approximate Estimate:
Fish and vegetable production of 5,000 hectares requires 3 basic requirements,
                  a.              Water source and area of flat land to build large volume 1,000 cubic meter fish tanks with space around the tank to fit filtration systems, hatchery tanks and building, fish feed storage, fish processing and vehicle access for fish feed supply and packaged processed fish for market.
                  b.              Area of flat land 6 times that of the fish production area, to build hydroponic greenhouses to receive the fish wastewater.  This area includes nursery for the seed starts, preparation of floating trays, harvest, and packaging for market and vehicle access.
                  c.              Area of land a tractor can access, (need not be flat) for field crop growing of fish feed.  This area with development of irrigation, etc. should produce 10 to 20 times more than normal crop production.  Feed Mills established close to crops to reduce transportation.
The percentage of land needed for fish production is 2%
The percentage of land needed for vegetable production is 12%
The percentage of land needed for fish feed production is 86%      
Finally, planning for locations of fish production sites, need to be arranged to reduce transportation cost of fish feed, water access and location to labor force.  The complete system is Photovoltaic powered.
This report will take 3 weeks to produce.
2.              Report on the Comparison on Egypt's current Aquaculture and Field Crop Farming
Approximate Estimate:
Extensive fish farms produce about 500 kg / hectare per year.
Semi-Intensive fish farms produce about 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes / hectare per year.
Intensive fish farms produce about 20 to 30 tonnes / hectare per year.
The FST system is designed to produce about 1,136 tonnes / hectare per year.
Field Crop farming of the conventional way includes field preparation before each crop, poison herbicide spray to kill weeds, fertilizer, seed sowing, watering, lettuce production cost approximately US $8,000/acre.  Yield of 60,000 lettuce heads per acre from two crops per year. Income of sale at US $1.00 each head of lettuce is $60,000 less $8,000 for costs is a profit of US $52,000/acre/year.  (These are the best figures as of April 2015.) 
The FST system is designed to produce about 1,000,000 heads of lettuce per acre per year.  The cost to produce this crop within a one-acre area is $215,000, which allows for the green house building and hydroponic growing system, operation and seed.
The end produce is organic, with no herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, non-GMO with a zero carbon footprint.  This production could fetch a higher price than the $1.00 per head as did the field crop grown lettuce, but for the comparison, say we get US $1.00 /head of lettuce times X 1,000,000 lettuce heads is an income of US $1,000,000 less the cost of production $215,000 is a profit of US $785,000/acre/year.  This is 15 times greater return on investment.
These figure need to be more accurate as markets have been assumed for US and NOT for Egypt.  There are many reports on the latest figures for fish farming that include other species like shrimp and salmon. FST has figures for FST cost/income but will need to research the Egyptian figures.
This report will take about 2 weeks to get this information in a format that can be viewed by Government officials.   
3 .             Report of the Cost/Benefit Ratio
The cost/benefit ration to the Egyptian Government, for this entire project will require the figures from the above reports, REPORT FOR EGYPTIAN LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 5,000 HECTARES and the Report on the Comparison on Egypt's current Aquaculture and Field Crop Farming to establish the value for every $1 of cost spent compared against the benefits to the Government, short-term and long-term.  
This report will take 1 week to complete.
4.              Series of Videos to be Used as a Marketing Tool
After bringing the above information together, a series of videos can be produced to identify and explain the new technology the company will be offering. The videos will include other species of fish, mollusk, and crustacean and edible seaweeds that are to be introduced as part of this food security project. Explanation of a new food standard is also explained and the option for academic studies to be developed for training of farm managers and service operators.
This is planned to take 2 weeks. 
5.              WRITING THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
This memorandum of understanding is about the make-up of A JOINT VENTURE ENTITY and how our team comes together to form this company.  Identification of individual strengths, intentions, goals, objectives need all to be worked out so we have the bases to formulate  JOINT VENTURE ENTITY's Articles of Association. The licensing specifics will be laid out in this document as well.
The MOU will take 1 week to complete. 
6. WRITE THE CONTRACTS AND SET UP JOINT VENTURE ENTITY
Attorneys and accountants will be engaged to write the articles of association for the JOINT VENTURE ENTITY   Discussion between each of us will be required to develop the best advantage for the JOINT VENTURE ENTITY   Written contract for licenses and contract with Egypt will also need to be designed.  Performance and production levels will be a specific requirement
This is planned to take 3 weeks.
7. EGYPT CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS PLAN
Where do we start?  Details to oversee the 5,000 hectares identify starting points.  If FST is already committed in building a project in Nevada, then training of Egyptian Scientists and Engineers needs to be on site, at our facility in Nevada to accelerate the learning curve for these disciplines.
This plan includes information for Government Acquisition Contract. The acquiring by contract with appropriated funds of supplies or services (including construction) by and for the use of the Egyptian Government through purchase or lease, whether the supplies or services are already in existence or must be created, developed, demonstrated, and evaluated. Acquisition begins at the point when agency needs are established and includes the description of requirements to satisfy agency needs, solicitation and selection of sources, award of contracts, contract financing, contract performance, contract administration, and those technical and management functions directly related to the process of fulfilling agency needs by contract.
This plan will detail all these contingencies. (This plan is a lot of work!!)
This is planned to take 4 weeks.
FINALLY, Sign Contracts and balance of Payment  to appropriate parties as listed in Business Contracts.
Total period passed would have been four (4) months from initial good faith negotiating deposit.
