A 5.5 kW generator converted to run on hydrogen was utilized for the demonstration. The generator ran flawlessly on hydrogen gas produced by NanoLogix's hydrogen bioreactor system and powered multiple strings of 100- watt light bulbs. "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time in history that electricity has been generated anywhere onsite using hydrogen produced through the use of bacteria to digest waste", said Harry Diz, Department Chair and Professor of Environmental Engineering at Gannon University and NanoLogix Bioreactor Development chief.
Paul Zorzie, Welch's Engineering Manager, stated, "Welch's is happy to provide the site at which this groundbreaking research into generating alternative energy from waste is taking place. We look forward to the potential of building upon these developments to scale up and use this energy for our operation."
Bret Barnhizer, Chairman and CEO
of NanoLogix, stated, "We are delighted at the results of the work by Professor
Diz and associates and anticipate potential upscaling of the Welch's operation
to commercial bioreactor status. The Welch's development, enabling conversion
of sugar from their wastewater stream to produce hydrogen, has contributed
immeasurably to ongoing research and development for processing other types
of waste streams. Linked to that development and following our business
plan for expansion, in the spring of 2008 we intend to begin bioreactor
construction at the Erie Wastewater Treatment Plant for the extraction
of hydrogen from their protein-rich activated sludge waste stream."
