Advanced Refining Concepts Takes Delivery on Half-Million Dollar Robot.-- New Technology Will Build Catalytic cat·a·lyt·ic adj. Of, involving, or acting as a catalyst: "Deregulation's catalytic power . . . is still reshaping the banking, communications, and transportation industries" Ellyn E. Plates for Company's Pollution-Free ClearRefining[TM] Units -- RENO, Nev. -- Advanced Refining Concepts, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , (ARC), a privately held developer and manufacturer of proprietary motor and industrial fuels, today announced that it has taken delivery on a state-of-the-art robot from DWFritz Automation, Inc. The robotic system robotic system An integrated system of devices that automate production and manufacturing of goods and services Surgery An AI-based surgical assistant system, which processes sensory input from haptic interfaces and/or allows surgeons to act with more accuracy than , designed and built by DWFritz using an ABB robot and other custom-designed machinery, will produce the catalytic plates used in ARC's ClearRefining[TM] process, a closed loop, zero discharge process that efficiently and cost effectively liquefies natural gas or other methane sources. The half-million dollar automated robotic system, constructed and programmed according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. ARC's specifications, will produce approximately 10 catalytic plates per day. "This robot will have a dramatic impact on several critical aspects of ARC's business, including operational efficiency and quality control of our proprietary catalytic plates," said Peter Gunnerman, co-founder of Advanced Refining Concepts. "The bottom line is that it will help speed up the process and meet the expected high customer demands for our fuel products." The robot will be installed at ARC's new equipment assembly plant in Sparks, Nev. The 53,000 square-foot facility, opened in August, 2009, serves as the company's main site for assembling production equipment. Once manufactured, the catalytic plates are installed in the ClearRefining[TM] units, which will then be shipped to ARC's new Peru Heights facility, a Northern Nevada production plant currently under construction. Expected to be completed in January 2010, the 100,000-gallon per day plant located approximately 10 miles east of Reno, Nev., will produce the company's inaugural product GDiesel[TM], a clean and efficient domestically produced No. 1 diesel fuel.
