Harvest Fuel 451 is a six-tank alcohol
production facility, designed to produce
41.000 gallons of 190 proof alcohol per year.
Model 851, a 12-tank system, produces
82.000 gallons per year. Each system in
cludes a 29* distillation column, which can
distill 123,000 gallons of 190 proof alcohol
per year.
The Harvest Fuel system combines in
novative alcohol technology and the highest
quality hardware available: stainless steel
fermentation tanks, distillation column and
components, accurate electronic meters and
more.

NEWS BULLETIN:
GASOHOL SALES ‘SKYROCKETING"
According to recent news articles, the sale of alcohol-fortified
gasoline is skyrocketing, though most motorists involved believe
they're simply buying gasoline.
Oil'industry analyst Dan Lundberg says “gasohol is not a popular
name with motorists. They saw that ear of corn (used as a logo for
advertising gasohol) and they didn’t cotton to it. So some marketers
said, "Why don’t we just call it regular unleaded or premium
unleaded with ethanol?"
• Lundberg estimated that of the 1982 gas sales of approximately
t)0.7 billion gallons, 2.2 percent really was gasohol.
Gasohol - 90 percent unleaded regular gas and 10 percent ethyl
alcohol - became something of an American institution after the
gasoline shortages of the 1970’5. People saw it as a way to reduce
dependence on foreign oil and at the same time use surplus corn &
other farm products as an easy source of power-producing alcohol.
According to Lundberg, “gasohol sales have been climbing
dramatically even as gasoline sales have been declining." There is
“nothing deceptive" about selling gasohol under other names, he
says, because motorists buy gas for its octane rating, which is boost
ed by the addition of ethanol.
Gasohol sales could be further aided by an increased tax subsidy
included in the 5 cents-a-gallon gas tax hike passed by Congress.

A unique heat exchange system allows the
plant to heat and cool efficiently, reducing
energy costs. Two-inch stainless steel tubes
wrap around the inside of the tanks, creating
a long-lasting form of thermal transfer.
FLEXIBLE
The distillation column is sized to
accomodate additional fermentation
tanks. A farmer who buys the basic
six-tank Model 451 can simply up
grade his system to a Model 851 by
adding six tanks. He does not need
to change his distallation column.
The farmer can use a variety of
alcohol corn, wheat, milo and wheat-barley mixtures
