     This Schedule 13D is being filed in order to amend and restate in their
entirety any and all prior filings by the reporting person with respect to the
securities of the issuer set forth on the cover page hereto in connection with
sales of the issuer's common stock by affiliates of the reporting person. The
reporting person also desires to disclose in this statement the formula pursuant
to which its deemed beneficial ownership of the issuer's common stock may be
determined as of any date based on fluctuations in the market price of the
issuer's common stock.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

     This Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, no par value ("Common
Stock"), of Thermo Tech Technologies, Inc. ("Issuer") that are issuable to
Nelson Partners, a Bermuda exempted general partnership ("Nelson"), and Olympus
Securities, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation ("Olympus"), upon conversion of 8%
Convertible Debentures ("Convertible Securities"), held by Nelson and Olympus.
The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 5769 201-A Street,
Suite 169, Langley, BC V3A 8H9, Canada.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

     This Schedule 13D is being filed by Citadel Limited Partnership, an
Illinois limited partnership ("Citadel"). Citadel's principal business office is
located at 225 West Washington Street, 9th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

     During the last five years, Citadel has neither been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to which Citadel either became subject to a decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or was found in
violation of federal or state securities laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     Citadel is the managing general partner of Nelson and the trading manager
for Olympus. The funds used for purchases reported herein are from the accounts
of Nelson and Olympus. Citadel has no beneficial ownership interest in any of
the funds or other property of Nelson or Olympus, except for Citadel's interest
as managing general partner of Nelson.

     Nelson and Olympus acquired an aggregate of $1,250,000 of Convertible
Securities pursuant to Subscription Agreements between each of Nelson and
Olympus and the Issuer dated as of February 20, 1996 ("Closing Date").

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     The purchases reported herein were made as an investment. Citadel may, in
the future, recommend or make additional purchases or sales of the Convertible
Securities or Common Stock on behalf of Nelson or Olympus.

     Citadel has no present plans or proposals which would relate to or result
in transactions of the kind described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Rule 13D-101 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, Citadel
reserves the right to adopt such plans or proposals, subject to applicable
regulatory requirements, if any.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)  By reason of its serving as managing general partner of Nelson and
          trading manager of Olympus, Citadel may be deemed to be the indirect
          beneficial owner of the Convertible Securities and the shares of
          Common Stock into which the Convertible Securities are convertible.
          As of the date of the filing of this statement, Nelson and Olympus
          collectively own Convertible Securities for which they originally paid
          $600,000 ("Stated Value") and 2,519 shares of Common Stock.

          As of any date ("Conversion Date") all or a portion of the Convertible
          Securities may be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock
          determined by dividing  the Stated Value of such securities (plus an
          amount equal to 8% interest on the Stated Value of such securities
          from the Closing Date) by a conversion price ("Conversion Price").
          The Conversion Price is equal to the lesser of (i) $2.2125 ("Fixed
          Conversion Price") and (ii) 85% of the average closing bid  price (as
          reported by NASDAQ or such other market or exchange as the Common
          Stock is then traded) of the Issuer's Common Stock for the five
          trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date ("Floating

                                                               Page 3 of 5 Pages
<PAGE>
 
          Conversion Price").

          If the Company's Common Stock is trading at a price less than $2.60,
          the Conversion Price will fluctuate depending upon the closing bid
          price of the Issuer's Common Stock.  As a consequence, the number of
          shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Securities may be
          converted, and consequently the number of shares of such securities
          which Citadel may be deemed to beneficially own, may fluctuate on a
          daily basis based solely on the Common Stock's market price and
          without any action taken by Citadel, Nelson or Olympus.

          As of the date of the filing of this statement, by virtue of its
          status as the managing general partner of Nelson and the trading
          manager for Olympus, Citadel may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
          of 1,280,024 shares of Common Stock representing 6.54% of the Issuer's
          Common Stock (based on (i) 18,282,019 shares of Common Stock issued
          and outstanding as set forth in the Issuer's most recently filed 6-K
          and (ii) a Conversion Price equal to $.4941).

     (b)  Citadel has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of
          the Convertible Securities and the Common Stock into which the
          Convertible Securities are convertible on behalf of each of Nelson and
          Olympus.

     (c)  The following transactions with respect to the Issuer's common stock
          have been effected during the 61-day period ending October 14, 1996:

</TABLE>

     (d)  Nelson and Olympus, as the direct beneficial and legal owners of the
          Convertible Securities, have the right to receive or the power to
          direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
          the Convertible Securities and the Common Stock into which the
          Convertible Securities are convertible.  However, Citadel, as managing
          general partner of Nelson and trading manager for Olympus, ultimately
          has the right to direct such activities.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

     Nelson and Olympus have the right to receive any dividends from and the
proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Securities held by them.  As described
in Item 3 above, Citadel is the managing general partner of Nelson and the
trading manager for Olympus.  As a result, Citadel has the power to vote and
dispose of the Convertible Securities and the Common Stock into which the
Convertible Securities are convertible held by Nelson and Olympus.

ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     No exhibits are required to be filed as part of this Schedule 13D.
