Independent Lab Results Confirm GAEC Ethanol Process
July 13 2009 - 8:28AM
Business Wire
Gulf Alternative Energy Corporation (Pink Sheets:GAEC) announced
today the lab test results on its biomass pre-processing
technology. This unique process converts cellulosic biomass into a
fine, dry powder for processing into ethanol. Testing was conducted
by the highly respected Microbac Laboratories, Inc. in Boulder,
Colorado.
Lab results showed that all sugars were produced from Gulf
Sorghum in 16 hours compared to 64 hours for unprocessed control
samples. This is a 400% increase in processing speed under
controlled lab conditions. Microbac concluded that Gulf�s
industrial grade processing was as efficient as the best lab scale
processing used to test biomass. The report concludes that the GAEC
process significantly impacted processing time for cellulosic
ethanol.
�Independent lab results now confirm what we expected from
Gulf�s cellulosic feedstock pre-processing technology � it makes a
big difference in processing efficiency,� noted John Shearer,
President of GAEC. �This test lays to rest any questions regarding
the validity and value of Gulf�s process to development of the
cellulosic ethanol industry.�
In addition, the company has updated its web-site and invites
those interested in the Company to visit
www.GulfAlternativeEnergy.com for an update on the Company. Gulf is
focused on commercializing its cellulose pre-processing technology
and on expanding its green technology portfolio. Transforming
cellulose to ethanol efficiently is a technical challenge that will
transform the biofuels industry. Gulf Alternative Energy believes
it has moved the industry much closer to economic viability with
its preprocessing technology that turns non-food plant material
(called biomass) into extremely small particles that can more
quickly and more cheaply be turned into ethanol.
