Arisdyne Systems Receives Million Dollar Grant From Ohio Department Of Development
Cleveland OH (SPX) Mar 31, 2008 Cleveland fuel production systems manufacturer Arisdyne Systems recently received a one million dollar grant from the Ohio Department of Development's Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program for the development of a more efficient method of processing corn into ethanol. The company expects to add 10 to 15 employees over the next two to three years as a result of the grant. "We're delighted to be able to bring additional funding to improving the ethanol production process," said Fred Clarke, President of Arisdyne Systems. "With the help of this grant, we will develop the technology to increase the yield of ethanol from each bushel of corn by up to ten percent." By improving the initial processing of the corn, the new process will make it easier to turn the starches in the corn into sugars, which can then be broken down through fermentation to produce ethanol. The improved process will allow ethanol manufacturers to produce up to ten percent more ethanol from the same amount of corn. Arisdyne's team is led by Fred Clarke, and includes the award-winning scientist, Dr. Oleg Kozyuk as Chief Technology Officer. Arisdyne will be working with Dr. Frederick Michel of The Ohio State University's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster, Ohio to improve the production process for ethanol. Dr. Michel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering and recently spent a year's sabbatical working at the National Renewable Energy Labs, the nation's leading energy research facility.
