American Green Holdings' Ethanol Reformer Makes Fuel Consumption Breakthrough.CRANE, Mo. -- American Green Holdings CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Dale Wiley announced today that Crane, Missouri-based American Green Holdings has brought to market the Ethanol Reformer[TM]. The Ethanol Reformer is a patent-pending technology that processes ethanol in stationary engines A steam engine that is permanently placed, in distinction from a portable engine, locomotive, marine engine, etc. A factory engine, in distinction from a blowing, pumping, or other kind of engine which is also permanently placed. See also: Stationary Stationary in a much more efficient way. It reduces hourly ethanol use in irrigation irrigation, in agriculture, artificial watering of the land. Although used chiefly in regions with annual rainfall of less than 20 in. (51 cm), it is also used in wetter areas to grow certain crops, e.g., rice. systems by more than fifty percent, while improving emissions as well. "We are very happy with this version of the Reformer," said Wiley, noting that the company made changes to the original model which was tested with great success in Nebraska on irrigation systems. "We have used an oil heating mechanism instead of using water heat, thereby protecting the fuel system." Russel J. Gehrke, the inventor of the Reformer, uses ethanol's flame speed to match the engine's work load in a different and more efficient process than car makers have achieved using fuel injection and carburetion alone. "People for too long have believed that they would achieve their best results with ethanol by having the fuel match the air," said Gehrke. "Instead, we use the waste heat energy to increase the engine's volumetric efficiency Volumetric efficiency in internal combustion engine design refers to the efficiency with which the engine can move the charge into and out of the cylinders. More correctly, volumetric efficiency is a ratio (or percentage) of what volume of fuel and air actually enters the . Ethanol's higher octane number octane number, figure of merit representing the resistance of gasoline to premature detonation when exposed to heat and pressure in the combustion chamber of an internal-combustion engine. allows us to do the same amount of work with a great reduction in fuel." The company has used the same technology in their EcoOutlaw motorcycles, and plans for motor vehicles will be unveiled soon. The Ethanol Reformer is now commercially available for agricultural use.
