Automated Ethanol Fuel Systems

The automated systems are a patent-pending state-of-the-art mini-refinery that produces ethanol in a compact machine. These systems are computer touch screen-controlled and features a UNIX-based operating system on the primary automation computer for reliability.

Using 100% stainless steel tanks, valves, pipes, fittings, and a stainless steel distillation column, the Ethanol Fuel System (EFS) family of machines was designed for rugged industrial-type use, but with an intuitive, easy-to-use touch screen interface. 

Energy Efficient

One gallon of ethanol contains an equivalent of 23 Kilowatt hours of electrical energy*. Our EFS-200 system, for example, produces over 15 gallons of ethanol per hour, yet uses only 27 kilowatt hours of electricity to do that job. Quite simply this means that the EFS-200 produces an energy equivalent output of around 10:1, or put another way, for every kilowatt hour of electricity consumed, the machine produces a quantity of output product equivalent to 10x the input power.

Manually Operated Ethanol Fuel Systems

These are designed for small producers and as ethanol fuel training systems. Designed with all stainless steel tanks, piping, valves, fittings, and a stainless steel distillation column. The Manual Ethanol Systems (MES) was designed for rugged use, yet is compact.

The image above shows the main touch screen of the EFS computer system. This dashboard view allows operators to monitor all aspects of system operation at a quick glance.

Designed and built in the USA.
