Frustrated with the ever increasing cost of gasoline, consumers now have an alternative to take control of their energy future. Introducing the EFuel100 Micro-Fueler™ home ethanol system. The MicroFueler is the world’s first noncombustion ethanol micro-refinery system that combines a fuel delivery system with an ethanol production unit. These two features make it possible to produce and manage individual fuel needs without any reliance on the costly oil industry infrastructure. The MicroFueler is the ultimate green machine because it serves as a multipurpose system for producing ethanol from both sugar feedstock and discarded alcohol, a fiscally and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

A pump station is included in the Micro-Fueler’ s design, using the same LCD interface found at any local gas station to help people quickly adapt to using it. The process for making ethanol has been reduced to an appliance-sized unit, made possible by the use of micro-sensors and state-of-the-art membrane technology. As a result, the pump station and ethanol distiller are contained within the same appliance. To further simplify the process, the MicroFueler uses sugar as a simple, flexible feedstock, which keeps the unit small and the processing time short. This also solves the negative impact of using only corn, as the sugar normally supplied by E-Fuel is, in fact, unfit for human consumption.

How does it work?
Step one: Feedstock is loaded into the fermentation tank opening.

Step two: User activates LCD control panel for fermentation to begin the ethanol production process.

Step three: Weight sensors measure and determine the appropriate amount of water to let into the tank for proper fermentation. As the fermenting sugar begins its natural ethanol conversion process, high tech ceramic cooling and heating devices under the micro control system maintain the temperature conducive for ethanol fermentation.

Step four: Following fermentation, the ethanol mix is transferred to the distillation system for alcohol water separation. First separation occurs by vaporizing the mix in a vertical column. The vapor then flows to a membrane system for final alcohol separation.

Step five: The ethanol is ready for use.
