Visalia-based Edeniq Validates Ethanol Yield Increases

Technology Produces Cellulosic Ethanol Inside Existing Corn Ethanol Plants

Screen Shot 2014-06-09 at 7.10.15 AMVISALIA, Calif. June 9, 2014 – Edeniq, Inc., a biomaterials and sustainable fuels company, today announced the successful performance of its PATHWAYTM Validation Facility. Edeniq’s PATHWAYTM Platform is a proprietary, integrated platform that produces cellulosic ethanol inside existing corn ethanol plants. The pilot facility showcases how Edeniq’s patented technologies – the CellunatorTM and PATHWAYTM Platform – convert starch and break down corn kernel fiber, releasing cellulosic sugars into the fermentation process, thereby increasing ethanol yield three to six percent. The pilot facility is located at the company’s headquarters in Visalia, California.
“The pilot facility confirms a necessary high-precision consistency in the PATHWAYTM Platform that is a first for our industry,” said Tom Griffin, Chief Technology Officer, Edeniq, Inc. “Our customers are looking for a way to generate and validate cellulosic ethanol production, and with Edeniq’s PATHWAYTM Platform coupled with this unique pilot facility, we have equipped them with the solution.”
Funded jointly by Flint Hills Resources Renewables, LLC, and Edeniq, the pilot facility showcases the PATHWAYTM Platform and allows ethanol producers to quantify the impact of PATHWAYTM on yield enhancement and cellulosic ethanol production at their plants.
“The PATHWAYTM Validation Facility was developed to provide our customers and partners with data to verify the increase in ethanol yield the technology provides,” said Brian Thome, President and CEO of Edeniq, Inc. “Edeniq is committed to increasing the bottom line for our customers and partners by allowing ethanol producers to improve their efficiency and migrate to cellulosic ethanol.”
The PATHWAYTM Validation Facility was designed and built exclusively by Edeniq engineers. “In an effort to maintain the highest level of precision and uphold the quality our customers expect, we chose to build the facility ourselves,” said Dr. Griffin. “Edeniq is a trailblazer in this effort and we wanted to make sure the facility showcased our technology and the expertise of our team appropriately.”
The PATHWAYTM Platform is currently in commercial testing and continues to demonstrate its ability to increase ethanol yield and boost customer profits.
