Modular Plants to Convert Cellulosic Biomass to
Ethanol
Yield, now 2.6 - 3.0 gal ethanol / bushel of
corn (or 94 - 109 gal/ton). Future Easy
Energy Systems is developing an add-on pod to add
cellulosic ethanol production means to the
Standard unit. This pod will provide the initial
conversion of the cellulose and then carry it
through the rest of the standard ethanol
production system. http//www.easyenergysystems.co

Small Plant to Convert MSW to Electricity in
Parking Lot
3 tons/day of trash yields about 120 kW of
electricity and about double that in heat.
Financial benefit is in cutting disposal fees,
Stu Haber said. Up-front cost of 850,000
leasing option available. Payback in 3-4 years.
10 federal tax credit available. This unit
feedstock rate and output is 5x higher than
CPCs BioMax-25 (output of 25 kW)?

1. The shredder rips up waste and soaks it in
water to make sludge2. The sludge is pumped into
the bioreactor, and enzymes break it down into
carbohydrates and then into simple sugars,
which yeast metabolizes into ethanol. 3. Residue
is pelletized in the pelletizer, converted to
gas in the gasification reactor . 4. The
ethanol, gas and 10 diesel fuel convert to
electric power in the diesel generator,
