Biography of Robert L. Laing

Founder, former President, C.E.O. and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Clean-Flo Laboratories, Inc., now Clean-Flo International, Mr. Laing has a B.S. degree in Electronic Engineering, University of Michigan, 1958 with extension studies at University of Minnesota, College of St. Thomas, and Normandale College, Minneapolis.

Mr. Laing founded Clean-Flo Laboratories, Inc. on June 1, 1970.  From 1962 to 1970, he owned Laing Development Company, a computer design and electron ballistics consulting firm based in Fort Worth, Texas and Minneapolis, Minnesota.  He started his career in 1958 as an Aerospace Systems Design engineer with General Dynamics, Fort Worth, where he designed the bombing/navigation test computer for the B-58 Hustler airplane.

The holder of several domestic and international patents in electron ballistics, limnological and agricultural chemistry, Mr. Laing is a known author and has been a frequent speaker on lake restoration, aquatic plant management, water pollution control, Intelligent Design theory and atomic physics.

Mr. Laing has been listed in Who's Who in the Southwest, Who's Who in the Midwest, Who's Who in Finance and Industry, Dictionary of International Biography (Cambridge, England), and Men of Achievement (Cambridge).  He served on U.S. Rep. James Ramstad's Environmental Advisory Committee.

He was the recipient of an Award for Outstanding Services, Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Research, 1968, for the discovery of electromagnetic wave emissions from dislocated vertebrae of the human spine.  He was also the recipient of the Notable Americans Award, 1976.

In March 2002, Mr. Laing won the Innovation in Environment Technology Award sponsored by the Wisitex Foundation. The foundation is located in New Delhi and promotes technology that solves environmental problems in India. He was also featured in SPAN Magazine of New Delhi, and in many US publications, including Fortune and Newsweek..

Mr. Laing has authored A non-toxic lake management program, Hyacinth Control Journal (Now the Aquatic Plant Management Society), Volume 12, May, 1974; The restoration of Lake Weston, Orlando, Florida, J. of Aquatic Plant Management, 1977; Restoring Dying Lakes, Speech, 18^th Annual Conference of the Aquatic Plant Management Society;  The use of multiple inversion and Clean-Flo Lake Cleanser in controlling aquatic plants, J. Aquatic Plant Management, 1979; Water is no accident, in Science at the Crossroads:  Observation or Speculation?  Proc. of the 1983 National Creation Conference, St. Paul-Minneapolis; Discussion: The effects of artificial circulation on a hypereutrophic lake, American Water Resources Association, Water Resources Bulletin, Vol. 28, No. 2, 1992; Essentials for life, Proc. Twin-Cities Creation Science Conference 1992; Aeration and pollutant abatement in the Helpe Mineure River, Fourmies, France, 13th Int'l Symposium No. Am. Lake Management Soc., Seattle, 1993; Panelist, Treatment technologies for remediation of eutrophic reservoirs and lakes, Clean River Taiwan Seminar, US-AEP/Foundation Taiwan Industry Joint Conference, Jan. 1995; Control of cyanophyceae in reservoirs and lakes, 6th Int'l Conf. on the Conservation and management of Lakes-Kasumigaura'95, Oct., 1995; India Cleans up Polluted Lakes and Rivers, Water and Wastewater International, May 2003; Clean River Taiwan Seminar, US-AEP/Foundation Taiwan Industry Joint Conf., Jan. 1995; Guest teacher, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea Dept. of Civil Engrg. Graduate School, Feb. 1995; Guest speaker, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, Nepal, Sept. 2001; Several unpublished or web site technical papers.

At Clean-Flo Laboratories, Inc., Mr. Laing developed the continuous laminar flow inversion/oxygenation system, Clean-Flo Lake Cleanser, a non-toxic phosphate precipitant; Lake Care, a non-toxic water clarifier; Sky Blue Lake Dye; and Clean-Flo Living Organisms, which are microorganisms to feed on organic sediment, oils, pesticides and phosphorus and nitrogen.  All of these work together in the world's first successful non-toxic lake, river and reservoir restoration process.  In June 1993 the city of Fourmies, France won the two highest environmental awards for use of the Clean-Flo process to restore the L'Helpe River.  A few of approximately 3000 successful restoration projects include the pond at St. James Park at Buckingham Palace, the Feng-Shan Reservoir in Taiwan, some of the most famous park ponds in Japan and Taiwan, and The King's Palace in Seoul, Korea.  The process was tested in bays of the ocean in Korea and Japan, and for red tide control in the Philippines.

In 2009 and 2010, Laing made five new discoveries in water pollution control that are presently being tested. These include removal of naphthenic acids, clay and salt from oil refinery tar sands tailings, removal of pesticides, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, trihalomethanes, geosmin and carcinogens from drinking water reservoirs, and treatment of manure pits under barns.

At a recent speech, Mr. Laing said, "Over the past 50 years, toxins, fish kills, bacterial outbreaks, toxic blue green algae, muck deposition, weeds and algae have increased exponentially.  Water, our most precious natural resource, is now not only unfit for swimming, fishing and drinking; it is killing humans and animals at an ever-increasing rate.  The Clean-Flo process has restored over three thousand polluted bodies of water economically and by natural methods.  This is an idea that must now explode."

Laing's most recent development is an Internet Search Engine Optimization program that picks out best keywords for web sites and fairly accurately predicts how many people will find that web site from that free web site listing or from Paid advertising. It accurately determines whether each key word should be used for free search engine placement (SEO), or for paid advertising thereby optimizing millions of dollars worth of advertising for businesses at very little expense.
