BlueFire Signs Teaming Agreement with Key Technology Partner Amalgamated Research, Inc.ARI ARI Acute respiratory infection, see there to Provide Acid Sugar Separation Technology to BlueFire Facilities IRVINE, Calif. & TWIN FALLS, Idaho
See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). : BFRE BFRE Besoin en Fonds de Roulement d'Exploitation (French: Working Capital Requirement for Exploitation) .OB), a leader in cellulosic ethanol production technology, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Amalgamated Research, Inc. (ARI) for the exclusive right to use its Simulated Moving Bed In chromatography, the simulated moving bed (SMB) technique is a a variant of high performance liquid chromatography; it is used to separate particles and/or chemical compounds that would be difficult or impossible to resolve otherwise. Chromatographic chro·mat·o·graph n. An instrument that produces a chromatogram. tr.v. chro·mat·o·graphed, chro·mat·o·graph·ing, chro·mat·o·graphs To separate and analyze by chromatography. Separation (SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. ) technology for the separation of concentrated sulfuric acid and simple sugars. After several years of operating experience with ARI's equipment at pilot facilities in California and Japan and recent testing at ARI's facilities, where even better than expected results were obtained, BlueFire has determined that the SMB provides the best fit for its concentrated acid hydrolysis hydrolysis (hīdrŏl`ĭsĭs), chemical reaction of a compound with water, usually resulting in the formation of one or more new compounds. process to convert cellulose to ethanol. By using ARI's SMB, BlueFire recovers approximately 99% of the entrained sugars in the acid/sugar stream. ARI's extensive research of the concentrated acid/sugars separation was supported by the DOE. John Cuzens, BlueFire Chief Technology Officer, stated, "Our partnership with ARI provides BlueFire with yet another competitive advantage in the cellulosic marketplace. Their superior fractal distribution and SMB technology further enhances BlueFire's robust and efficient conversion process by efficiently separating the acid and sugar streams." About BlueFire Ethanol Fuels BlueFire Ethanol Fuels, Inc. was established to deploy a commercially ready, patented, and proven Concentrated Acid Hydrolysis Technology Process for the profitable conversion of cellulosic ("Green Waste") waste materials to ethanol, a viable alternative to gasoline. BlueFire is the only cellulose-to-ethanol company worldwide with demonstrated production of ethanol from urban trash (post-sorted MSW (MicroSoft Word) See Microsoft Word. ), rice and wheat straws, wood waste and other agricultural residues. BlueFire is one of four ethanol companies awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to construct ethanol production facilities. Unlike remote corn ethanol production plants, BlueFire's biorefineries will be located in markets with the highest demand for ethanol. This dramatically reduces delivery costs and increases biofuels supply, while providing a unique waste processing technology that helps cities better manage the problem of overflowing landfills.
