Innovation

AlterVia Fuels transforms both the conversion of corn and cellulose biomass into ethanol through a series of patent pending technologies ranging from the advanced utilization of a supercritical binary fluid process, to efficiently and cost effectively producing ethanol and byproducts including concurrent cooling, heating, and electricity generation. The further use of nanoscale materials accelerate the pretreatment processes for ethanol. Integrating these technologies and patent pending thermodynamic and catalytic processes results in superior conversion and energy efficiencies.

AlterVia has a portfolio of patented technologies including an exclusive field of use license to produce biofuels utilizing the proprietary Thermafficient™ technology. The resulting solutions are energy efficient and cost effective biofuels, achieved through superior operating economics and reduced raw material costs. Concurrent by-products are produced including electricity, heating, cooling, and polymers. The integration of the Thermafficient™ supercritical process, specialized binary fluids, and ultra-micro channel heat exchangers yield valuable by-products and efficiency gains.
