Easy Energy Systems’ Modular Energy Production System (MEPS®) devices are unlike any other ethanol production system: while others rely on edible food such as corn to produce usable ethanol, the MEPS creates energy using various forms of organic waste, energy crops and more. Because our systems are fully automated and scalable, farmers, municipalities and governments can create and maintain energy plants of any size that both reduce local organic waste and produce clean, sustainable energy in the face of decreasing fossil fuel supplies.

Here's how the MEPS works:

Step 1: Feedstock Storage

Feedstock (crops or products used for bioenergy production) is loaded into storage structures for processing.

Step 2: Liquefaction

Feedstock is mixed with water and enzymes, heated and prepared for complex sugar breakdown and fermentation.

Step 3: Fermentation

Yeast is added to the mixture and allowed to ferment, resulting in a beer-like mixture of alcohol (ethanol) and solids.

Step 4: Distillation

The ethanol is separated from the solids and continues through the distillation system. In most cases, remaining solids can be repurposed into distillers grains, fertilizer or animal feed.

Step 5: Dehydration

The ethanol moves through molecular sieves to remove any remaining water, producing fuel-grade ethanol.

Step 6: Holding and Denaturing

The ethanol is “denatured” with gasoline to make it unfit for human consumption and is then stored to await shipping.
