FUEL SYSTEMS COMBINE OPERATIONS | |
| July 10, 2010 - Ray Carter - Correspondent While it may not be a match made in heaven, it certainly is a match made possible by two serious "Green Industry" entrepreneurs with remarkable vision. Ed Branco, CEO of Oakdale Fuel Systems, Inc. has provided a portion of his warehouse space to National Vapor Industries, Inc. National Vapor CEO David Jewell said the combined operation makes a great deal of sense when one considers the fact that the two companies have been formed to accomplish the same goal, using complimentary technology. The goal of both is to produce inexpensive, renewable fuel that saves the environment by burning cleanly thereby replacing imported oil from the Middle East...certainly a worthy objective now that global warming has been confirmed by most credible scientists around the world. Oakdale Fuel has equipment designed to produce and distribute ethanol, the most-used substitute for gasoline. In Brazil, for instance, sugarcane ethanol accounts for 50% of that nation's automotive fuel resources. Corn-based ethanol production in the U.S. has made some inroads into the domestic fuel industry but, while ethanol is the fuel of choice for "Green" activists and environmentalists, it still has a long way to go. But, ethanol can be produced from virtually any waste substance containing cellulose or even bad wine and other products already containing alcohol. When combined with a hydrogen generator, an ethanol fueled automobile or truck can achieve incredible gains in mileage while nearly eliminating pollutants that now threaten this planet. Some of the photos below show an ethanol fueling system in use. The system shown consists of equipment a user can purchase to fuel his or her vehicles. The complete system includes a digester that produces ethanol, a tank for storing the fuel and a dispenser that pumps the fuel into a vehicle. In a complete installation, the user can introduce waste products into the system and end up with usable fuel. Hydrogen generators from National Vapor can provide more than enough energy to replace any lost engine power that could result when gasoline is replaced with ethanol. More on this later, including plans to integrate Oakdale Fuel Systems' equipment into a National Vapor project that will convert polluted mining water into clean water and energy. What if an enormous tract of acreage, now lying fallow, could be converted into the production of switch-grass used to produce the Efuel, ethanol? What if ethanol could be used instead of propane to power vapor generators capable of eliminating deadly gold mining pollution? Stay tuned...we've only begun to illuminate the potential!
