     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates generally to the derivation of protein powder. More particularly, the invention relates to the derivation of protein powder from aquatic animals. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Throughout the centuries, the development of human life has been based upon nutrients and proteins that originate from natural resources. The proteins generated by the food humans consume include animal proteins and vegetable proteins. 
     Humanity has developed primarily on portions of continents and, secondarily, at the periphery of the oceans. The most widely exploited natural resources are those of the continents. This is a cause of imbalance of the food chain, which, as a result, currently poses great problems and nutritional deficiencies among different populations. 
     In a 2002 report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) concerning the insecurity of the food supply throughout the world, the FAO maintained, “progress in the reduction of hunger has virtually stopped.” The FAO advised that “unless this tendency is radically reversed, the world will be very far from reaching the goal of the World Food Summit of 1996 to reduce by half the number of people suffering from hunger by the year 2015.” In order to reach this goal, the reduction in the number of people suffering from hunger would have to number 24 million each year. 
     Deriving, from a variety of different sources, protein that may be transported to different people in need may solve many problems associated with lack of nutrition. Humans have benefited from proteins in a medical and nutritional form. Markets have been developed that has given rise to industrialization and commercialization in accordance with the identification of a greater protein potential in some species of fish. Unfortunately, industrialization and commercialization has resulted in the specific exploitation of classified groups of fish, which has placed the biologic balance in danger. 
     There is a large variety of marine animals, continental and oceanic, which have formed part of the food chain. From the nutritional point of view, fish are classified according to oil content and are divided into lean, semi-oily, and oily fish. For example, in white fish or lean fish, the oil content does not typically pass 2.5%. Hake, monkfish, sole, and dory are some examples of whitefish. The lowest index is found in codfish, with an oil content of about 0.25%. Semi-oily fish have a concentration of oils greater than 2.5% without passing 6%. Sea bream, mullet, gold bream, and bass are some examples of semi-oily fish. Oily fish may have a concentration of oil as high as 10%. Fish that have a high concentration of oils are known popularly as blue fish. Examples of oily fish include sardines, boguerón, mackerel, palometa, blue jack mackerel (chicarro), tuna, northern bonita, salmon, eel and swordfish. The oil of blue fish is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and is comprised, among other things, of Omega 3 fatty acids. The concentration of lipids also varies greatly from one species to another. For example, some species of fish live in deep zones and, as they do not migrate, they do not have a need to accumulate oils. 
     The recommended total consumption of protein (meat, fish, or other) is 15% of daily caloric intake, or 0.8 gram per kilo of weight. As in the case of meat, eggs, and milk, fish contribute protein containing all the essential amino acids. It is estimated that 35 grams of consumption a day of pure protein would satisfy an organism&#39;s aminoacids requirements like a full meal. 
     Protein found in fish contains all of the amino acids essential to humans, and for this reason, fish protein is of very high nutritional value. Fish is easily digested and is relatively low in calories. The lipids found in blue fish have been associated with a series of beneficial effects related to the prevention of myocardial heart attacks and arteriosclerosis. 
     Fish also contain large quantities of vitamins A and D, as well as vitamin E, which afford the protecting effect of an antioxidant. Generally speaking, fish are also a source of vitamins of the B group, specifically B12. Fish are very rich in sodium and potassium, and somewhat less in calcium. 
     In view of the foregoing, there is a need for a nutritional supplement to fight malnutrition that is high in protein and may be obtained from a wide variety of species of aquatic animals so that certain species of fish are not over-exploited.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     A large number of different types of aquatic animals may be used to form the basis of raw material. Discussed herein are systems and methods for deriving protein powder from the raw material. 
     A solvent may be added to the raw material during processing. In some embodiments, the solvent may be extracted for later reuse. Further, fish oil, such as Omega 3 fish oil, may be extracted. Moreover, water may be extracted from the raw material as well. In some embodiments, exemplary systems and methods described herein derive protein powder, fish oil, and water from the raw material. 
     The protein powder may be a complete aminogram free of fish odor or smell (e.g., amine free). The protein powder may also be hydroscopic and sterile. 
     Further, the raw material may be derived from a variety of fish. By using a wide variety of different types of aquatic animals to meet current protein, oil, and water needs, overfishing of limited select resources (e.g., certain species of salmon) are avoided while the protein needs of many people may be met. 
       FIG. 1  is a block diagram of an exemplary system  100  for processing of raw material in an embodiment. In some embodiments, protein powder may comprise 85% or more of the protein that may be separated from the raw material. 
     Various embodiments discussed herein obtain protein, minerals, omega 3 oils, and/or distilled water from aquatic animals. By way of example, if a large tuna fish of 10 kilos is processed, 2 kilos of pure protein with complete amino gram may be obtained. If a skinny chip fish of 4 kilos is processed, 1 kilo of pure protein worth the complete amino gram may be obtained. The skinny chip fish, however, may produce less oil per volume of protein. The quality of the protein is generally not different between the two fish. Various embodiments may use any and all parts of even waste aquatic animals as long as the aquatic animals are fresh. For example, all part of a fish including the head, viscera, bones, cartilage, tissue etc, may be used. It should be noted that health benefits from the fish&#39;s other body parts may also be present in products of some embodiments. 
     In various embodiments, any kind of aquatic animal may be used as raw material. By using fewer over-exploited aquatic animals, systems and methods described herein may provide a means of avoiding the over exploitation of better-known species, including, for example, sardines, tuna, and salmon shark, robalo, shrimp, octopus, and squid. 
     A large percentage of the catch from fisherman is not commercial. Often the fisherman throws back fish because there is not a buyer for that kind of fish. Since a wide variety of different kinds of fish and aquatic animals may be used as the basis for the raw material from which the protein powder is obtained, endangered species of fish may be avoided. 
     An exemplary process uses the whole aquatic animal (e.g., whole fish), using solvents at different stages. The process may be on a closed circuit; for example, solvents may be recovered in order to use the recovered solvents again. The result of the process may be a high-quality protein with the complete amino gram and mineral concentration made at a low cost. 
     In various embodiments, the system depicted in  FIG. 1  may be part of a larger system for producing protein powder, oil, and water, from raw material (e.g., fish and/or other animals). In an example,  FIGS. 1 and 3  display an exemplary system for producing protein powder from the raw material.  FIGS. 1 and 5  display an exemplary system for retrieving oil (e.g., Omega 3 fish oil) and water from the raw material. 
     The exemplary system  100  for processing of raw material comprises a warehouse production facility  102 , mills  104   a - b , preparation (e.g., prep.) tanks  106   a - b , an additive tank  108 , reactors  110   a - b , filters  112   a - b , a liquid capture tank  114 , and a mill  116 . Although  FIG. 1  depicts two mills  104   a - b , preparation tanks  106   a - b , reactors  110   a - b , filters  112   a - b  those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be any number of mills  104   a - b , preparation tanks  106   a - b , reactors  110   a - b , and filters  112   a - b . Similarly, although only one warehouse production facility  102 , additive tank  108 , liquid capture tank  114 , and mill  116  is depicted, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be any number of warehouse production facilities  102 , additive tanks  108 , liquid capture tanks  114 , and mills  116 . 
     The raw material for the process is stored in a warehouse production facility  102 . In some embodiments, the warehouse production facility  102  includes a refrigeration system to prevent decomposition of the raw material. The warehouse production facility  102  may have any amount of capacity. In one example, the warehouse production facility  102  may store 3,000 tons of bulk fish (e.g., raw material). In some embodiments, the warehouse production facility  102  may include one or more disposal areas to dispose of bulk fish that are sufficiently fresh as well as one or more scales for weighing the raw material prior to processing. 
     Mills  104   a - b , may be any kind of mill configured to physically break down (e.g., grind or crush) the raw material from the warehouse production facility  102 . In some embodiments, the mills  104   a - b  grind the raw material to approximately ¼ inch pieces. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the raw material may be broken down to any size pieces using any type of device. In some embodiments, the raw material in the warehouse production facility  102  is evaluated for quality and weighed. Predetermined amounts of raw material may then be placed within each mill, respectively. The weighing of the raw material may happen before grinding, after grinding, or both before and after grinding. 
     Preparation tanks  106   a - b  are any tanks that receive the milled raw material from the mills  104   a - b . The preparation tanks  106   a - b  may comprise a blending system. In some embodiments, the preparation tanks  106   a - b  may rotate in order to agitate raw material and/or be sealable so that air may not escape the tanks. 
     In various embodiments, if the characteristics of the raw material are different, milled raw material may be placed inside a preparation tank  106   a  which may be subsequently sealed. Optionally, ozone may be pumped into the tank in order to sanitize the raw material. In one example, ozone is pumped into the preparation tank  106   a  until the pressure within the preparation tank  106   a  reaches approximately 20 psi. The preparation tank  106   a  is mixed for a period of time (e.g., 40 minutes) to homogenize the raw material and/or increase exposure of the raw material to the ozone. In one example, the preparation tank  106   a  is rotated at approximately 50 to 60 rotations per minute (rpm). 
     Additives may be added either before or after the ozone is pumped into the preparation tanks. Additives may include, but not limited to, a solvent. The additive may also include other materials and/or chemicals. In some embodiments, the preparation tanks have a minimum capacity of 30,000 liters each and are each capable of supporting at least 30 tons of weight. 
     The additive tank  108  is a tank that holds additives to be mixed with the milled raw material in the preparation tanks  106   a - b  and/or the reactors  110   a - b . In one example, the additive tank  108  has a storage capacity of 120,000 liters. In some embodiments, one or more additives, such as a solvent is later recovered (further discussed herein) and added back to the additive tank  108  for later use. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the additive tank  108  and/or one or more other tanks, may include any kind of additive to add to the raw material. 
     Reactors  110   a - b  receive the prepared material from the preparation tanks  106   a - b . The reactors may be any kind of reaction tank. Each reactor  110   a - b  may, in some embodiments, heat and rotate the raw material from the preparation tanks  106   a - b . In various embodiments, the reactor may heat the raw material and solvent to a predetermined temperature (e.g., 90° C.) for a predetermined period of time. In one example of a reactor, the reactor may be heated from 380° to 450° C. in order to quickly heat the raw material to 90° C. (e.g., via one or more boilers). In some embodiments, the raw material is kept at or below 90° C. to prevent the raw material (or components thereof) from burning. The reactors  110   a - b  may also have one or more thermometers configured to read the temperature of the mixture. The reactor may rotate at speeds from 4,000 to 5,000 rpm. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the reactor may rotate at any speed (e.g., 2000 rpm). 
     In some embodiments, each of these reactors  110   a - b  has a capacity of at least 20,000 liters, and each is capable of supporting at least 20 tons. The material inside the reactor  110   a - b  may further receive additional additives (e.g., additional solvent). In one example, solvent is added to the raw material in a ratio of 2 parts solvent to 1 part raw material. Once completed, the material in the reactor forms a reactivated mixture. In some embodiments, the heat of the reactors and/or the solvent may further sanitize the milled raw material. 
     In various embodiments, each of the reactors  110   a - b  comprise a blending system to homogenize the mixture prepared with the additives coming from the additive tank  108 . Further, the reactors  110   a - b  may comprise one or more pumps to pump the reactivate mixture from the reaction tanks  110   a - b  to the filters  112   a - b . The reactor  110   a  may comprise automatic valves and sensors to monitor the process. 
     In some embodiments, a magnetic field is applied to align molecules of the solvent and raw material mixture in the reactor. The alignment of the molecules may, in one example, improve the function of the solvent and/or the process of separating out liquids (e.g., amine, solvent, water, and oil) from the rest of the raw material. Electricity may also be applied to the solvent and raw material mixture for the same or similar purpose. 
     Once the solvent and milled raw material is placed in the reactor  110   a , the mixture may be heated and rotated for a predetermined period of time. In one example, heat and a magnetic field are applied to the solvent and milled raw material for five minutes at thirty minute intervals for two hours. 
     In various embodiments, the quality of the protein powder is not degraded as the process is low temperature thus not burning or degrading the protein and keeping the organoleptic structure intact. This may result in a relatively complete if not complete amino gram of high quality concentration of protein on the final product. 
     Filters  112   a - b  filter the reactivated mixture to separate out solids from liquids. In some embodiments, filters  112   a - b  are centrifuges. In one example, a centrifuge may rotate at 2,000-3,000 rpm. In other embodiments, the filters  112   a - b  may be any kind of filter, strainer, or combination (e.g., combination of filters, strainers, and/or centrifuges). In one example, the filters  112   a - b  separate out 70% of the liquids from the raw material. In one example, the filters  112   a - b  are a fine mesh for separation of solid materials from solvent-soluble materials. 
     In some embodiments, the filters  112   a - b  comprise centrifuges that operate in a vacuum. In one example, fumes from the solvent may be recovered during filtering. Solvent may be recovered from the fumes and stored for later use (e.g., the solvent may be recovered and stored in the additive tank  108 ). 
     After filtration, the reactors  110   a - b  may receive the solid material from the filters  112   a - b , for further processing. Subsequently, the filters  112   a - b  may re-filter the reactivated material and extract more liquid. The filters  112   a - b  may, in some embodiments, have the ability to extract at least 21,000 liters of liquids per hour. In various embodiments, each time the reactors receive material (e.g., either from the preparation tanks  106   a - b  or the filters  112   a - b ) additive(s) such as solvent(s) may be added to the material from the additive tank  108 . 
     In some embodiments, the material is reactivated in the reactors  110   a - b  and filtered by the filters  112   a  three times. In other embodiments, the material is reactivated in the reactors  110   a - b  and filtered by the filters  112   a  five times. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the material may be reactivated in the reactors  110   a - b  and filtered by the filters  112   a  any number of times 
     The liquid capture tank  114  is any tank that receives liquids (e.g., heavy liquids) from the filters  112   a - b . The liquid in the tank may comprise additive(s) (e.g., solvent(s)), oil, water, and amine. The additives may be recovered from the liquid (as further described herein). Further, oil (e.g., Omega 3 oil) and purified water may be obtained from the liquid. In some embodiments, amines in the liquid are later removed or reduced in order to reduce or eliminate fishy smell or taste from the oil and water. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the liquid removed from the raw material may comprise any components beyond solvent, oil, water, and amine. In one example, the liquid may comprise salt which may be later removed (e.g., via distillation). 
     The mill  116  is any mill that may break, grind, and/or crush material from the filter  112   a - b . In one example, the material passed between the reactors  110   a - b  and the filters  112   a - b  three times before the mill  116  receives the remaining solids from the filter  112   a - b . In one example, the mill  116  may further grind the material to ⅛ th  inch pieces. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the mill  116  may grind the material to any size. 
     It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the system  100  and system  300  depicted in  FIGS. 1 and 3 , respectively, may include redundant systems to allow for one or more components to break or maintenance to be performed. For example, if mill  104   a  requires maintenance, the raw material may be provided through mill  104   b . Similarly, if preparation tank  106   a  is unavailable, mills  104   a - b  may provide the milled materials to any number of other preparation tanks other than preparation tank  106   a.    
       FIG. 2  is a flowchart of an exemplary method  200  for processing the raw material in an embodiment. The discussion regarding  FIGS. 2, 4, and 6  refer to single components even if two or more of the same component (e.g., mill  104   a - b  in  FIG. 1 ) are depicted in  FIGS. 1, 3, and 5 . Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although only one component is discussed, any number of components may be used within exemplary systems and methods. 
     In various embodiments, systems depicted in  FIGS. 1 and 3  may have capacity to produce 18 tons of protein powder (e.g., Advanced Protein Powder) and 5,000 liters of fish oil (e.g., omega 3) from 100 tons of fresh fish (e.g., raw material). In various embodiments, the process does not harm the environment with pollutants or toxic fumes. 
     In step  202 , raw material is verified and milled. In some embodiments, the raw material is sorted and raw material that is not sufficiently fresh is disposed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the raw material may be sanitized. Further, the raw material may be de-boned, or less desirable material of the raw material may be disposed. The raw material may also be weighed with a scale and apportioned by weight prior to transport to the preparation tank  106   a.    
     In various embodiments, the raw material will include any number of aquatic animals of many types. In one example, the raw material includes a limited number of different types of aquatic animals (e.g., salmon, tuna, and sardines only). In another example, the raw material may comprise any number of aquatic animals. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that poison fish may be used without dangerous residues in the finished powder, oil, and water. 
     In some embodiments, specific type and/or species of fish may be selected based on available protein and/or nutrition content. In other embodiments, the selection of fish is unrelated to protein quality. 
     In step  204 , the preparation tank  106   a  receives solvent and milled raw material to be prepared for the reactor  110   a . In some embodiments, the milled raw material is combined with ozone to sanitize the milled raw material. In one example, raw material is placed within the preparation tank  106   a  which is sealed. Ozone may be pumped into the preparation tank  106   a  which may then rotate to agitate the milled raw material. After which, solvent may be added to the agitated milled raw material. 
     In various embodiments, the preparation tank  106   a  receives a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol from the additive tank  108  and blends the solvent with the milled raw material. During preparation, the milled raw material may dissolve to form a viscous liquid. 
     In step  206 , reactor  110   a  processes the prepared solvent and milled raw material. The prepared solvent and milled raw material may receive more solvent and/or other additives from the additive tank  108 . In various embodiments, the reactor  110   a  heats (e.g., to 90° C.) and rotates (e.g., at speeds from 4,000 to 5,000 rpm) the prepared mixture for 2 hours. In some embodiments, the typical percentage of material in the reactor  110   a  is two parts milled raw material to 4 parts solvent. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the reactor  110   a  may heat the prepared solvent and milled raw material at any heat, rotate at any speed, for any length of time. 
     In step  208 , the filter  112   a  filters the processed material from the reactor  110  to separate out liquids. In various embodiments, the filter  112   a  is a decanter which decants the processed material for one hour. The filter  112   a  (e.g., decanter) may store any liquid in the liquid capture tank  114 . Remaining solids may be returned to the reactor  110   a . In some embodiments, at least some of the solvents may be absorbed. 
     In step  210 , the reactor  110   a  re-processes the filtered solid material a second time. In various embodiments, additional additives such as solvent may be added to the filtered solid material prior to processing. In some embodiments, the filtered solid material and additive(s) may be heated (e.g., to 90° C.) and rotated (e.g., at speeds from 4,000 to 5,000 rpm) for two hours. 
     In step  212 , the filter  112   a  re-filters the re-processed material to separate out liquids a second time. Any separated liquids may be stored in the liquid capture tank  114 . Remaining solids may be returned to the reactor  110   a.    
     In step  214 , the reactor  110   a  re-processes the re-filtered solid material a third time. In various embodiments, additional additives such as solvent may be added to the filtered solid material prior to processing. In some embodiments, the filtered solid material and additive(s) may be heated and rotated for two hours. 
     In step  216 , the filter  112   a  re-filters the re-processed material to separate out liquids a third time. Any separated liquids may be stored in the liquid capture tank  114 . Remaining solids may be provided to a mill (e.g., mill  116 ). 
     In step  218 , the liquid capture tank  114  receives liquids from the filter  112   a  during steps  208 ,  212 , and  216 . In step  220 , mill  116  mills the remaining solids received from the filter  506 . In some embodiments, the mill  116  grinds the remaining solids and eliminates or reduces remnants of remaining solvents. 
     Those skilled in the art will appreciate that at one or more filtration steps, filtration may occur with earth material and/or resin ionic exchange to eliminate amines compounds (e.g., odor of the marine animals). 
       FIG. 3  is a block diagram of an exemplary system  300  for the derivation of protein powder in an embodiment. The exemplary system  300  for the production of protein powder comprises the mill  116  (e.g., see  FIG. 1 ), ovens  302   a - b , protein powder storage  304 , and packaging and shipping  306 . The mill  116  receives the material from the filter  112   a - b  as discussed regarding  FIG. 1 . 
     Ovens  302   a - b  receive the re-milled material from the mill  116 . The ovens  302   a - b  may then cure the re-milled material from the mill  116 . The ovens may be any kind of ovens including vacuum ovens that are configured to heat the milled material from the mill  116  to a temperature of 90° C. which dries the re-milled material. Remaining solvent may be collected from fumes during the curing process. The collected solvent may be stored and reused. In some embodiments, the ovens  302   a - b  rotate (e.g., at 40 rpm) to agitate the mixture and speed drying. 
     The protein powder storage  304  is any facility that may receive the protein powder (e.g., Advanced Protein Powder) from the ovens  302   a - b . The protein powder storage  304  may be a hopper, silo, or any structure that can store the accumulated cooked and milled solids. 
     The packing and shipping  306  is any facility that may receive the protein powder from the protein powder storage facility  304  and package and/or ship the protein powder. 
       FIG. 4  is a flowchart of an exemplary method  400  for the derivation of protein powder in an embodiment. In step  402 , the mill  116  receives and grinds the solids from the filter  112   a . In step  404 , the oven  302   a  cures the milled remaining solids from the mill  116  to finish protein powder. In some embodiments, the oven  302   a  is a vacuum oven and the time of drying is 8 hours per load. 
     In step  406  the protein powder is stored in the protein powder storage  304 . In some embodiments, final processing or finishing of the protein powder may be performed at the protein powder storage  304 . In one example, the protein powder may be bleached to make the color of the protein powder more attractive and to whiten the protein powder so as to limit the negative impact of adding the protein powder to other foods. In another example, the protein powder may be further ground (e.g., to a flour like consistency). 
     The protein powder may be pressed into a solid pill form, placed in a capsule to be swallowed, or added to a liquid to be drunk. The protein powder may have a concentration of 85-90%, a transfatty acid content of 0.02%, cholesterol of 0.01%, 120 calories per each 30 gram serving, and is 98.1% digestible. The specific nutritional values in the protein powder created by an exemplary process are shown in the certificate of analysis in TABLE 1, TABLE 2, TABLE 3, and TABLE 4. 
     In some embodiments, the protein powder may have a lifetime or near-lifetime shelf-life because the protein powder may be non-hydroscopic (e.g., the protein powder does not absorb humidity or grow any bacteriological processes). The protein powder may also be chemically balanced so the protein powder does not change in quality concentration over time. 
     The protein powder may be both stable and sterile. In various embodiments, the product exceeds FDA requirements for a supplement and is an excellent product for world food needs. As can be seen in the Tables, the 35 gram serving of exemplary protein powder may provide sufficient protein to meet a person&#39;s amino acid requirement like a full meal. 
     For example, some FDA regulations specify that a minimum of 75% of protein and 500 parts per million of solvents, with a maximum of 5% humidity and 1.5 of fat or oil. 
     In one exemplary protein powder, an analysis indicates:
         no more than 2.9% of humidity;   no more than 500 parts per million;   no more than 0.05% of fat or oil;   no noticeable odor;   no noticeable smell;   no less than 80% of protein; and   no measurable bacteria.       

     The difference between vegetables protein aminogram from animal is that the vegetables aminogram is not complete like the animal. In some embodiments, the protein powder described herein has desirable and unique characteristics including a fine powder cream color, is easy to mix with any type of food or supplement, is non-hydroscopic, and/or is sterile. 
     In step  408 , the protein powder is packaged and shipped from the packaging and shipping facility  306 . 
       FIG. 5  if a block diagram of an exemplary system  500  for the production of oil, production of water, and the recovery of an additive in an exemplary embodiment. The system  500  comprises a liquid capture tank  114  coupled with distillation towers  502   a - b . The distillation towers  502   a - b  are coupled to filter  504 . The filter  504  separates out and stores at least some additive in additive tank  108  (see also  FIG. 1 ). The filter  504  may also be coupled to filter  506  which receives liquids. The filter  506  is coupled to an oil storage  508  and a water storage  510 . The water storage  510  is further coupled to the water purifier  512  which is coupled to the water tank  514 . 
     In some embodiments, a filter of mineral and/or soils is coupled between the liquid capture tank  114  and the distillation towers  502   a - b . In one example, liquids from the liquid capture tank  114  are filtered before passing through the distillation towers  502   a - b . In various embodiments, the minerals and/or soils absorb amine from the liquid. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many materials and/or soils may be used to absorb amine. 
     Although distillation towers  502   a - b  depict two distillation towers, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be any number of distillation towers. Similarly, although only one liquid capture tank  114 , filter  504 , filter  506 , oil storage  508 , water storage  510 , water purifier  512 , and water tank  514  is depicted, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be any number of liquid capture tanks  114 , filters  504 , filters  506 , oil storages  508 , water storages  510 , water purifiers  512 , and water tanks  514 . 
     In various embodiments, the liquid capture tank  114  has a storage capacity of 40,000 liters and serves the purpose of capturing the heavy liquids that are extracted from the reactivated mixture from filters  112   a - b . In some embodiments, the liquid capture tank  114  transfers to liquid to another liquid capture tank (not depicted). In one example, the other liquid capture tank has a capacity of 120,000 liters and serves the purpose of storing the heavy liquids. 
     Distillation towers  502   a - b  may be any distillation unit that distills liquids received from the liquid capture tank  114  and/or any other liquid capture tank. Although the distillation towers  502   a - b  is characterized as a tower, the distillation towers  502   a - b  may be any device that can distill liquids. In one example, a distillation tower  502   a - b  may comprise different plates that allow different material to pass through. For example, oil may collect on a first plate and water may collect on a second plate. 
     In various embodiments, solvent, water, and oil are separated by evaporation and reflux compensation in the plate column semi-packed (e.g., a distillation tower or unit). Through this process solvent, oil, and waste water may be retrieved. In some embodiments, a charcoal filter may be used to extract other pollutants from the solvent prior to distillation. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many components and pollutants may be recovered and/or removed from the solvent, water, and oil. 
     Filter  504  is any filter that may filter and/or otherwise remove one or more additives from the liquid. In some embodiments, the filter  504  filters solvent from the liquid and/or further removes pollutants from the solvent. In one example, the filter  504  filters 85% of the solvent from the liquid. The removed additive(s) are stored in the additive tank  108  where the additive may be added to the preparation tanks  106   a - b  and/or the reactor  110   a - b . The filter  504  may also provide oil and water to the filter  506 . Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the filter  504  or function of the filter  504  may be incorporated within the distillation towers  502   a - b.    
     The filter  506  may separate out the oil from the water. Oil from the liquid may be stored in the oil storage  508 . The water may be stored in the water storage  510 . In one example, the filter  506  is a centrifuge which has a minimum operating capacity for the separation of 3,500 liters per hour, the purpose being to separate the water from the oil coming from distillation towers  502   a - b . Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the filter  506  or function of the filter  506  may be incorporated within the distillation towers  502   a - b.    
     The oil storage  508  may be any oil storage tank. In one example, the oil storage  508  has a capacity of 25,000 liters. The water from the filter  506  may be stored in water storage  510 . In one example, the water storage  510  has a capacity of 124,000 liters. In some embodiments, the oil may be further processed and/or purified as discussed further herein. 
     The water purifier  512  purifies the water from the water storage  510 . In one example, the water purifier  512  is a distillation tower. The purified water is then stored in water tank  514 . 
     Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more components of system  500  discussed herein may be optional. In one example, the water is not purified but rather used in conjunction with boilers to warm the one or more of reactors  110   a - b.    
       FIG. 6  is a flowchart of an exemplary method  600  for the recovery of oil, water, and additive(s). In step  602 , the liquid capture tank  114  receives liquids from the filters  112   a - b  (see  FIG. 1 ). There may be any number of liquid capture tanks  114 . In step  604 , the distillation tower  502   a  receives the liquid from the liquid capture tank  114  and distills the liquid for four hours. 
     In step  604 , the captured liquid from the liquid capture tank  114  is distilled by the distillation tower  502   a . The captured liquid may be distilled any number of times to separate out water and oil from additive(s) such as solvents from the captured liquid. In some embodiments, the oil and/or solvent may be rectified. The distillation tower  502   a , may, in some embodiments, remove all or some of the odor causing chemicals from the oil. 
     In step  606 , the filter  504  filters the distilled liquid to collect additive(s) such as a solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol or methylic alcohol) for storage in the additive tank  108 . The filter  504  may also filter the distilled liquid to separate out Omega 3 fish oil from water in step  608 . Further, in some embodiments, the filter  504  serves the purpose of purifying the additive, so that the additive may later be transferred to additive tank  108 . 
     Those skilled in the art will appreciate that at one or more filtration steps, filtration may occur with earth material and resin ionic exchange to eliminate amines compounds (e.g., to odor of the marine animals). The filtration may occur before the liquids are distilled, after the liquids are distilled, or during distillation. 
     In step  610 , the oil storage  508  stores the Omega 3 fish oil from the filtered liquid. In step  612 , the Omega 3 fish oil may be processed prior to shipping. In one example, the Omega 3 fish oil may be processed to lighten the color of the Omega 3 fish oil, prepare the oil for encapsulation, or prepare the oil to be taken orally by adding flavors. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any kind of processing may be performed. 
     In step  614 , the water purifier  512  purifies water from the filter  506  and in step  616 , the water tank  514  receives the water and prepares the water for bottling. The water may be further purified or additives may be added. In some embodiments, the water is bottled for drinking. In other embodiments, the water may be used for non-potable activities. 
     In various embodiments, the distillation tower  502   a  and the filter  504  may comprise a retort, distillation column, and condenser for retrieving solvent. The retort may have a boiling point of 60-90° C. with a pressure of 540 to 610 mmHG. the distillation column receives the output from the retort and the condenser receives the output from the distillation column. Ultimately, the condenser outputs solvent that may be used again. In one example, the process may retrieve 85% of the solvent. 
       FIG. 7  is a flowchart of an exemplary method  700  for processing of Omega 3 oil in an embodiment. In various embodiments, the Omega 3 fish oils may be purified and concentrated. In step  702 , fish oil is extracted to the oil storage  508  as discussed herein. 
     In step  704 , saturated fats may be reduced or eliminated from the fish oil. In one example, saturated fats are reduced or eliminated by winterisation. Winterisation is the process of removing components of the oil with a high melting point. In one example, the oil is cooked gradually and filtered at low temperature. The filter may comprise a centrifuge. In some embodiments, the saturated fats may be reduced or eliminated by cooling the liquid (e.g., by applying nitrogen to the fish oil) and removing the saturated fats that solidify in the oil. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many ways to remove the saturated fats. 
     In step  706 , heavy metals are reduced from the fish oil. In some embodiments, heavy metals are reduced or eliminated during distillation (e.g., via distillation towers  502   a - b ). In various embodiments, a magnetic field may be applied to the fish oil to remove heavy metals. Further, heavy metals may also be absorbed by a filter within or coupled to one or more distillation towers  502   a - b . Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many ways to remove heavy metals from the fish oil. 
     In step  708 , the fish oil is distilled (e.g., via distillation towers  502   a - b ). In some embodiments, the fish oil is distilled to reduce and/or refine pollutants. In one example, the heavy metal discussed in step  706  is a pollutant. 
     In step  710 , the oil is converted into ethyl esters. In step  712 , the ethyl esters are heated to further reduce or eliminate saturated fats. In some embodiments, step  710  is optional in view of step  704 . 
     In step  712 , molecular distillation to make final polish to remove PCBs (i.e., polychlorinated biphenyl). In on example, the output from step  710  is placed within a distillation unit (e.g., a distillation tower  502   a ) for distillation to remove and/or eliminate PCBs. 
     In some embodiments, the oil is converted into ethyl ester. The ethyl ester fatty acids may then be separated from contaminants in a vacuum system to ensure temperatures are well below the oil&#39;s normal boiling point (e.g., via a retort). The ethyl ester fatty acids may be isolated utilizing molecular weights leaving behind contaminants. The distilled fatty acids may then be recovered. 
     In various embodiments, oil refining may be used. In one example, free fatty acids are removed from the oil through neutralization with a base. An absorbent such as a bleaching earth or active carbon may be used to reduce color pigments and contaminants to within acceptable levels. A combination of steam and vacuum may be employed to remove volatile components responsible for the oil&#39;s odor and flavor. 
     Those skilled in the art will readily recognize, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, that any of the foregoing steps and/or system modules may be suitably replaced, reordered, removed and additional steps and/or system components may be inserted depending upon the needs of the particular application, and that the systems of the foregoing embodiments may be implemented using any of a wide variety of suitable processes and system components.
