 Renewable BioSystems is an independent spin-off from Control & Power Systems, and is based in New Jersey. We have licensed a British waste-to-energy technology that offers substantially improved economics for converting material such as livestock offal (viscera), food residuals, and DAF sludge into renewable oil that can be used for either power generation or as a biodiesel/renewable diesel feedstock.
The RBL machine combines specially designed pre-processing technology with a precision controlled heating process and proprietary centrifuge to convert and separate organic waste into oil, water and solids, thus creating multiple value streams from the waste. The oil extraction machine has applications in many environments; especially those producing waste streams with large percentages of oil, such as poultry or pastry. The machines also have great potential for other livestock processors, DAF haulers, composters, anaerobic digesters, food manufacturers, oil seed crushers, biodiesel producers, renderers, algae producers and landfills. RBL has been selected as the oil extraction technology for the 125,000 acre jatropha plantation being developed by Ridge Partners Dominicana North S.A. in the Dominican Republic. The project will be utilizing multiple 15-ton RBL machines to extract jatropha oil from their crop. At maturity the plantation will produce 130,000,000 gallons/year of jatropha oil. RBL is currently designing an oil extraction from waste water system for Astra Foods for installation in the Summer of 2010. Renewable BioSystems's oil extraction technology offers a variety of industries new ways of looking at their waste streams. What was once costly to both these manufacturers and the environment, can now simultaneously produce new sources of revenue and an alternate fuel. Uses and Benefits of Separated Fractions (Oil/Solids/Water) The oil can be used as a component of livestock feed, directly as a petroleum substitute fuel source for energy generation or as a feedstock to be further processed into biodiesel or renewable diesel. When the RBL oil is used as a fuel source to generate energy, it is a less expensive alternative than petroleum based products and can also qualify for the 50 cent per gallon Alternative Fuel Tax Credit. The RBL oil is less expensive (currently more than $1 per gallon) than traditional vegetable oil biodiesel feedstocks, allowing biodiesel producers using RBL oil a significant financial advantage in the marketplace. The water and solid waste residuals can be composted or further treated. The solids from livestock processing waste streams can be further processed into a valuable protein animal food. Alternatively, the solids can be further dried and then combusted for energy generation. Multiple value streams are generated from waste that companies and municipalities would otherwise have had to pay to dispose of. RBL Machine Advantages •Custom designed to extract oil from waste •Only technology of its kind in the market •Competitors are focused just on de-watering, not oil extraction •RBL’s core competency: pre-treating feedstock for maximum oil release •Factory built, unitized construction Fully automated system utilizes latest process control automation technology ••System is continuously telemetrically monitored from RBL offices High quality components guarantee high reliability According to the US EPA and the California Air Resources Board, the oil generated by our technology produces 80% less greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum diesel.
RBL has built a detailed cost and revenue model for customer prospects that incorporates the machine cost, operating costs, avoided costs and income streams to determine customer return on investment. On average, these models illustrate a one to two year payback period on the machine and immediate operating cash flow benefit to the customer. The integration of an RBL machine into a single plant can increase net income by as much as one to two million dollars per year for that plant.
