Sorry Ben I do not. I took a quick scan through my e-mails with him and
I found nothing with a name in it. I would imagine that you could ask him
directly from his contact info on his site, Peroxide Propulsion.

IIRC, there are several patents on filtering peroxide you may want to
hunt down.

Thanks Robert. If you recall the filters he recommended as well, that
would be interesting from an international perspective.
