(OTCQB: ENCR), a developer of innovative gas conversion technologies for global commercial and industrial facilities, has delivered two of its 2 megawatt (MW) sized Power Oxidizers to the Stockton Biorefinery site owned by Pacific Ethanol (NASDAQ: PEIX). The shipment is a momentous occasion for Ener-Core, having deployed a commercial scale-up of the power capacity of the Power Oxidizer technology from 250kW to 2 MW over the last 18 months. The Power Oxidizers, after delivery and installation with the Dresser-Rand KG2 turbine, are expected to provide up to 3.5 MW of electricity and over 26,000 pounds of steam/hr from the two Power Station units. The Power Stations will provide Pacific Ethanol (PEIX), a leading producer and marketer of low-carbon renewable fuels, with a first-of-its-kind solution that can reduce air pollution by converting by-product low-quality waste gases generated by the Stockton plant's ethanol production into useful electricity and steam. The Power Stations are intended to significantly reduce the quantity of energy currently purchased by Pacific Ethanol's Stockton plant and are expected to reduce their energy costs by an estimated $3 to $4 million per year, representing a significant reduction in operating expenses for the plant. The Ener-Core Power Oxidizer is designed to provide an alternative to a traditional combustion chamber within gas turbines for purposes of power generation. The Power Oxidizer, when coupled with an integrated gas turbine, allows a wide range of industries to utilize previously unusable low-quality gases and certain volatile organic compounds as a low-cost fuel source to generate on-site heat, power and steam. Ener-Core's delivery is the first step in the commissioning process and Ener-Core's engineering team will continue to work with the engineering teams from Dresser-Rand toward the installation of these systems at Pacific Ethanol's Stockton Biorefinery in next few months.
