Diversified Ethanol's Cold Microwave Technology Could Be Used by Every Ethanol Plant in America


CHICAGO, Sep 06, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Diversified Ethanol a division of James Monroe Capital Corporation (Pink Sheets: JMCP) has successfully used cheap, ultrasonic energy to break down corn--cold, which can result in ethanol plants using 20% less corn to get the same amount of sugars, and continues patent process, and refined processes with engineering companies who have patents on special new high-power ultrasonic devices.

Diversified Ethanol's Taylor Moffitt said, "When the Ethanol shortfall widened in June, with Brazil ethanol imports rising up to $3.97, we knew this was the right time to introduce new technology, which can revolutionize the ethanol industry. As plants try to keep up with the blending demands for ethanol with MTBE being dropped, a 20% increase in production can mean a big increase in profit margins, since no more feedstock is needed at all. In The "Cold Microwave" process, the state-of-the-art ethanol plant pre-cooks the corn mash using our low-energy ultrasonic "cold microwave," and then when it is cooked it can have more valuable sugars released for making fuel."

The company's concept uses multiple patents, and is intended to be sold as a retrofit for every ethanol plant wishing to run at higher efficiency & profit margins. Diversified Ethanol's ultrasonic device is cheap to operate, but very powerful. Though the company will charge a lot to provide the device, it will be very affordable in light of how much money it can save ethanol plants across America.

When a mixture of corn and water is placed in front of a piezoelectric driver, the corn "cooks" in seconds, but is still cold afterwards. This pre-cooking is very cheap compared to the energy required to heat the corn, and breaks-up the corn on a molecular level. Ultrasonic energy can vaporize water, or hard-boil an egg, and now it can make money by making fuel more efficiently.

Moffitt said, "This new technology could serve as bonus income for Diversified Ethanol. If we can bring this new technology to market, we will have added income and stability to our business plan of building our own ethanol plants, and manufacturing plants for others as well. We have had a lot of building and excitement lately, especially with the last merger, but this company is geared more towards long-term growth. We are in this for the long haul."

Parties interested in licensing or having their plants retro-fitted with the new technology should have their design engineer call Diversified Ethanol at 515-603-6399.
