EcoSystem Announces Integrated Biofuel Feedstock Machine™
Biofuel Feedstock Production System Optimized for Conversion of Poultry and Swine Manure
EcoSystem Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ESYM) today announced today its plans to conduct operational trials of its Feedstock Machine™ at targeted poultry and swine processing companies.
The Feedstock Machine™ is an integrated, scalable solution that converts poultry and swine manure into high protein feeds, natural oils, and high quality soil amendments.
The Feedstock Machine™ consists of three major subsystems: (1) material preparation and handling, where manure is dewatered and evenly distributed to the bioreactors, (2) bioreactors, where the manure is processed by black soldier fly larvae, and (3) refining and processing, where harvested black soldier fly larvae are refined into high protein feeds and natural oils.
“We designed the Feedstock Machine™ as a modular system that can be scaled to fit most large scale swine and poultry operations” says Glen Courtright, President and CEO of EcoSystem. “We plan to conduct trials in 2009 in Ohio and Indiana with a select number of swine and poultry production facilities. These trials will provide our customers and EcoSystem with the necessary data to confirm our scale-up assumptions and to document black soldier fly based meal, oil, and casting nutritional profiles for each our customers’ feedstocks.”
Using EcoSystem’s Black Soldier Fly based technology to convert manure from Ohio’s nearly 1.8 million market hogs could yield up to 4.5 million gallons per year in natural oils for renewable fuel production and 39,000 tons of high protein animal feeds annually.
EcoSystem’s Black Soldier Fly bioreactor technology can convert a diverse array of feedstocks, including poultry and swine manure, livestock processing wastes, and food scrap waste. Black Soldier Flies are clean, energy-efficient and voracious. They rapidly consume large quantities of feed during maturation and have a high tolerance against contaminants that would cripple algae and other bioreactor technologies.
