Everyone knows alternative fuels are a great idea, especially given the current price of gas. However, most people do not necessarily agree with using corn, grain or sugar to make ethanol, especially with food prices already on the rise. This fact is compounded by the fact that all ethanol producing technologies so far are based around the centralized production model where a great expense is done to collect raw materials, process them centrally and then transport the resulting products out to market.

After years of R&D, we have discovered how to make ethanol from garbage and leftover yard waste. All non-organic and/or pollutant waste must be separated from the organic part (in some cities there are special containers to classify trash for this purpose). This organic fraction is then chemically used as fed. Our technology uses regular residential garbage to generate high grade ethanol. This high grade ethanol can be mixed in with regular gasoline in a 40% gasoline / 60% high grade ethanol in standard cars without the need for any ethanol conversion. The fact that this is a residential small plant means that the model o production empowered by our technology is distributed. Each home owner will produce all of the ethanol they can ever use or need. In fact a new market may arise to collect the surplus ethanol generated by home owners and sale it as an aggregate to industry that needs more that they can generate. The impact of this technology is triple axes, (a) Generating energy in a distributed fashion at the source of where it is mostly needed eliminating the transportation component of it all, (b) Generating energy that replaces Oil dependency, (d) Eliminating Garbage as waste.

The bioreactor allows the company to combine thermochemical and biological approaches to synthesizing ethanol. Taking advantage of both makes the process cheaper and more versatile than either the technologies widely used today to make ethanol from corn or the experimental processes designed to work with sources other than corn. The residential plant is a small unit the size of two refrigerators side by side, the consumer never has to see the internals of it, but in essence one side you have an opening that takes in the garbage. Once the garbage is taken in, it is triturated and processed in the first tub with heat and chemicals, the entire system has 5 different tub treatments and lots of internal piping which is not seen externally. The system keeps moving the compounds in time from one processing step to the next applying the different chemicals automatically, driven by an onboard control unit. At the end of a three day cycle, the input comes out to a holding tank reservoir that holds ethanol and the user can take it out as needed from this reservoir. Other by-products are also generated and stored in separate bins, some of the byproducts are useful as great fertilizer, some of the by-products are in fact recycled. The inputs to this process are: (a) garbage, (b) water, (c) chemicals in a sealed releasing mechanism. The secret to this process is a well known technique to process synthesis gas (also known as syngas), a mixture of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen. This is the thermo¬chemical part of the process. The high temperatures required are possible via an on-board hydrogen generator which replaces other fossil fuels to create the high temperatures required to convert almost any organic material into gas. The gas is then worked on by microbes that can convert the gas into ethanol in a very efficient manner. In essence, the bacteria eat the gas and they produce ethanol as a byproduct.

The bacteria are not suspended in water as this is a very inefficient method; the gas is directly fed to the bacteria so this process is fast. This allows for the bacteria to be in the same environment as the gas. The bacteria are in fact arranged in hive like structures, similar to that of a bee hive, but made out of very small metal meshes. The gas is delivered to the bacteria though the mesh which is in fact tiny tubes only microns wide. Other nutrients are also delivered to the bacteria outside of the mesh via water which also collects the generated ethanol; however the water and gas never met. The final step of the process is to separate the water from the ethanol is accomplished using a set of hydrophilic membranes to draw off the water, leaving pure ethanol behind.

The innovative part of this process is simply that we use an already abundant form of fed, garbage and we produce high grade ethanol in a distributed manner. All heat generation in this plant is fueled by an on-board on demand hydrogen generator. A standard city collects garbage once a week. The garbage contained most homes have are 90 gallons of garbage for recyclables and 90 gallons for the rest in California. From the regular garbage that would have been collected by the city, an average home can generate 3 gallons of high grade ethanol per day or about 85 gallons a month. The reservoir holds 100 gallons.
