Enviro-Energy Corporation Biomass Anaerobic Digestion System Reported by Department of Energy
SPOKANE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 2002--Enviro-Energy Corporation's (OTCBB:ENGY) (germany:676401-EVM.BER) (www.enviro-energycorp.com) Tillamook, Oregon installation of its proprietary anaerobic digestion system was reported in the US Department of Energy (DOE) website (www.ener.doe.gov) EERE: News Archive July 17, 2002 bulletin. The following is the excerpted quote:
"New Projects and Laws Advance Manure-to-Energy Systems"
"If you're a farmer looking for a way to dispose of manure and reduce odor problems, anaerobic digesters are the latest and greatest thing. The technology uses natural processes to decompose manure, releasing methane gas that can be used for power production. Recent projects, technology advances, and laws suggest a growing role for anaerobic digesters on farms.
"A new anaerobic digestion technology also marked a milestone on July 11th, when the Enviro-Energy Corporation completed the initial startup of its prototype system at a farm in Tillamook, Oregon. The company claims to have developed a continuous process for converting manure to methane and fertilizer -- most current systems convert the manure one batch at a time, rather than continuously. Last week, the new system started producing methane, which was flared off. The methane will eventually power an engine-driven electrical generator. See the Enviro-Energy Web site."
Energy Flow Management Inc., the wholly owned unit of Enviro-Energy Corporation, is pleased to announce its selection as the technical expert in a bio-waste study for the Ohio town of Brewster in a project funded by the Edison Institute.
INVENSYS, a $2 billion organization specializing in advanced control systems (www.invensys.com), is the prime contractor for the study of bio-mass conversion to energy involving bio-wastes generated by the town of Brewster, Brewster Dairy, and Shearer's Foods. The study will evaluate treating the bio-waste streams of the three study subjects as stand-alone and mixed wastes to determine the viability of converting these bio-wastes into energy. INVENSYS is responsible for general management of the contract and technical matters related to instrumentation and controls. EMFI is responsible for scientific and technical evaluations of bio-waste technology and energy output estimates.
INVENSYS has also invited EMFI to present on bio-waste-to-energy technologies at its INVENSYS Showcase (www.invensysshowcase.com) scheduled for September 2002.
"This type of corporate cooperation dovetails with our plan to expand operations through working with world class companies who have component technologies or markets that complement our bio-waste-to-energy systems," said Michael Funk, President of EFMI. "We are pleased that we are being recognized for our technical and scientific expertise. We are particularly excited about this study as it indicates the rising urgency of the need to treat bio-wastes. The growing awareness of all levels of government that economical solutions are available to solve the bio-waste problems in our communities is a driving force behind our forecasted growth."
