<p>Hi Lloyd, I do not have that book, so if you would like to bring it by when you visit that would be great.</p>

<p>I am pleased that things are moving forward for you. It sounds like you have a very forward looking business plan and should prosper in Oregon.</p>
<p>I'd like to visit, if I may, when I head south to visit my daughter next month, or on the return trip. Do you have the book "Alcohol Is A Gas"? I've misplaced my copy, but it's around here somewhere. I'll bring it if you DON'T have a copy. You have my email address if you need it.</p>

<p>I have just finished setting up and getting the majority if my licenses for a craft distillery. I am also applying for an SBIR grant to study and develop a system that captures the CO2 and spent wash (waste water) and recycles them. The goal is as close to a zero waste stream as possible.</p>
<p>Fermentation and distillation produce a significant amount of CO2 and waste water. For every pound of ethanol produced, the process generates 1-2 pounds of CO2 and 5-10 pounds of waste…</p>
<p>I have just finished setting up and getting the majority if my licenses for a craft distillery. I am also applying for an SBIR grant to study and develop a system that captures the CO2 and spent wash (waste water) and recycles them. The goal is as close to a zero waste stream as possible.</p>
<p>Fermentation and distillation produce a significant amount of CO2 and waste water. For every pound of ethanol produced, the process generates 1-2 pounds of CO2 and 5-10 pounds of waste water.</p>
<p>The industry doesn't find it economically viable to capture or reclaim this waste until about 10,000 barrels of product are being produced.</p>
<p>So I believe I have a feasible plan to turn these liabilities into assets. A side benefit will be using the waste heat to heat my greenhouse.</p>
<p>I picked Oregon because the laws concerning craft distilleries are more small business friendly. Oregon also has a stronger support network for "green" business practices. The local SBDC office has approved of my plan and is providing a grant writer to apply for an SBIR grant through the USDA. The SBDC is also helping me develop my business plan and seek additional and alternative funding.</p> Good to read a post from you…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2013-09-01:4778851:Comment:5111602013-09-01T11:18:37.829ZPhil Slatonhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/PhilSlaton
