Custom Design and Manufacturing Services

Allard Research and Development can design and build custom ethanol fuel production systems built to your specifications. If you need larger or smaller systems, custom software or automation controls, specialized front-end processing equipment for specific feedstocks, or other custom features, we can deliver solutions tailored to your exact specifications at very competitive prices.

Our company can also provide full service, end-to-end consulting for your projects as well as perform on-site setup, training, and maintenance. The ethanol systems that we produce are designed to be modular which enable them to scale easily or to be configured in various ways to fit customer requirements.

Aside from the ethanol fuel systems, we are already designing a complete line of electric generator systems that combine a converted diesel engine (which runs off of ethanol) with a generator matched to an automated ethanol fuel production system. This combination allows the generator to produce its own fuel, and allows the ethanol production system to operate under its own power. Users can choose to produce electricity, ethanol, or both.

We are also working on a new line of advanced turbofan jet engines that are specifically designed to run on ethanol. These turbine engines will be priced at about 1/20th of similarly rated existing engines. Advanced manufacturing techniques which represent a significant departure from existing turbine engine manufacturing approaches will accomplish most of the price reduction. Our company will also be manufacturing the FADEC electronic systems for the engines, which will bring in house all of the systems needed for the engine production. We also believe that we can significantly improve the overall efficiency of the engine design by electrically assisting the axial compressor sections with electrical power generated by the electro-thermodynamic reactions created by the high-speed exhaust gases exiting the hot section turbines. We are pursing a patent on this process, but intend to allow the design to remain in the public domain rather than be controlled by a single company.

There are many possibilities...
