NanoLogix: First Energy Generation With On-Site Bioreactor-Produced Hydrogen.

The historical first was at a prototype facility at a plant in Pennsylvania for Welch Foods Inc., a marketer of juices, drinks, concentrates, jams and jellies.

Hydrogen gas was produced by NanoLogix's hydrogen bioreactor system and fueled a 5.5 kW generator converted to run on hydrogen. The generator 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."

NanoLogix plans to begin bioreactor construction at the Erie (Penn.) Wastewater Treatment Plant for the extraction of hydrogen from their protein-rich activated sludge waste stream, according to Bret Barnhizer, Chairman and CEO of NanoLogix.

NanoLogix is an innovator in the research, development, and commercialization of nano-biotechnologies, applications and processes.

Welch’s North East, Pennsylvania plant is a manufacturing facility for Welch's brand. The plant produces 27 million cases of product per year, as well as receiving, processing, and storing 90,000 tons of grapes. (9/17/07)
