downstream value-added products when a large enough stream can be produced. Main Products 139 The raw materials created from the biomass extracts can be used to create Ethanol, animal feed, industrial absorbents and even additives for beverages. Job Potential Currently have a total of five employees, all of whom are full time employees and dedicated to administration, engineering or sales. Operation and Maintenance Requirements BioTex has built a pilot plant operation at its location in Vero Beach, FL. The pilot plant built costs approximately $50,000, and was used to demonstrate BioTex’s CST technology, as well as for producing samples of the company’s value-added products. Environmental Considerations Social Considerations One drawback for renewable energy sector has been the cost of materials - this is where BioTex comes in. By taking the biomass waste and turning it <strong>into</strong> a low cost material, renewable energy companies can lower their production costs, use up unutilized feed stocks, reduce waste disposal costs and most importantly, help the environment. Investment and Operating Cost The first plant in Vero Beach, Florida opened in the first quarter of 2006. This is a pilot plant and the cost of equipment is $50,000. GHG Emission Reduction Potential The technology process could have significant applications in the biomass waste-to-ethanol industry. This industry includes corn, stover, bagasse, citrus and other associated waste streams. The process allows converting solid waste <strong>into</strong> starch or cellulose and other consumable nutrients. Starch or cellulose could be employed as feedstock in ethanol plants producing ethanol. Given the optimal nature of the waste feedstock created by the technology, the productivity of the ethanol fermentation process can be significantly improved. The technology offers environmental benefits by utilizing waste materials that would otherwise be left in the fields contributing to carbon dioxide emissions. 139 http://www.hotstocked.com/8-k/btx-holdings-inc-BTXO-41063.html 290
Advantages to Developing Countries BRT machines take up a small amount of floor space and companies that implement the BRT machine solely for waste reduction may see their waste costs reduced by more than 50% due to reduction of waste by more than 50% in volume Example of Real Life Applications Level of Use: Commercial Use Name of Project: BioTex BioReduction Machine Location: USA Supplier BTX Holdings, Inc.
