Gulf Ethanol Corporation announced today an AuburnUniversity study confirming the benefits of its ethanol feedstockprocessing technology. Gulf Ethanol has acquired the exclusive rightto a revolutionary new technology, developed by Meridian Biorefining,Inc., that creates a fungible cellulose that is far more effective asan ethanol feedstock than anything available today.
Dr. Y. Y. Lee of Auburn University reports that preliminary testsof this new cellulose feedstock indicate the recovery of at least 10%more ethanol by weight and a 12% reduction in processing time. Traditionally processed feedstocks were compared to the GulfEthanol/Meridian product in side-by-side tests.
The Company expectsfurther testing and product refinement will confirm even greaterperformance enhancement from its feedstock processing technology. Inaddition, Gulf Ethanol’s cellulose feedstock can be processed usingeither a batch method or a continuous flow process. “It is time for the market to know what we have been developing,”noted JT Cloud, President of Gulf Ethanol. “This technology willrevolutionize ethanol production in the United States by moving theindustry from corn-based production to much cheaper cellulosefeedstocks. Ethanol’s time has come because it can now be producedwith less energy input and at far cheaper prices,” he concluded. Alternative biofuels constitute a critical component of America’salternative fuels policy. Read full article.
