Alan Taylor is a Chemical Engineer who graduated from London University College with First Class Honours.
Employed as a chemical engineer by Lankro Chemicals, Diamond Shamrock, and Vintex PVC Mfg. before starting a commercial and industrial water treatment company. Alan has worked as a Project Engineer for the design and build of chemical
reactors and heat exchanges, developing a range of high temperature synthetic lubricants, and water filtration technology.
Alan’s company has built water treatment plants for Pepsi in Europe as well as for Arcasorb, who had a process for decolorizing water using chitin and chitosan media. The company went bankrupt and their patents for color reduction were acquired during the liquidation of the company. This began a path of research into the use of chitosan and silver as an antimicrobial media for water filtration and other uses a full decade ahead of current research. Subsequent patents have been awarded on the process of making the patented chitosan silver formula and its variations and forms, from which a range of a range personal care, medical, and infection control products are based. Alan has collaborated on, been awarded, and currently holds 4 patents with additional patents pending. Alan splits time between residences in Chesterfield, England and Barstow, California.
