Easy Energy Systems
1711 Energy Drive, Mankato, Minnesota, United States

At Easy Energy Systems (EES) we are passionate about providing dynamic solutions to our worlds energy problems. With this common purpose we are building an ecosystem of the best people, partners and customers to bring forth innovative technologies that will produce high-quality and efficient biofuels, valuable biochemicals, adhesives, fertilizers, animal feed and more.  EES designs, manufacturers, operates and sells our patented 1M, 2M, and 5M gallon per year, small-scale, modular biorefineries called Modular Energy Production Systems (MEPS®) for the production of alternative liquid biofuels from organic waste streams. MEPS® biofuels can be mixed with, or can selectively replace, gasoline derived from fossil fuels. Our systems are centrally manufactured and can be shipped anywhere in the world, thus we are able to bring new energy sources to locations that would otherwise not have access to it.  EES has manufacturing, R&D and testing facilities in Welcome, Minnesota and Emmetsburg, Iowa with executive offices located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Our Emmetsburg location houses our operational testing MEPS® system where we have proven that our process can economically convert various biowastes to ethanol at the same cost per gallon as the large biorefineries and at a CAPEX per gallon that is even lower than those large biorefineries can demonstrate. Moreover, this facility is also used to integrate and test other technologies and feedstocks which have been instrumental to our success.  Our mission is to innovate and bring to the market new solutions and technology that will reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, reduce pollution and improve the lives of people throughout the world. We intend to become the worldwide leader in "Distributed Small Scale Biowaste to Energy Systems", with our corporate motto, Fuel the World®.

Our mission

Our mission is to innovate and produce new solutions that will reduce dependency on fossil fuels, reduce pollution and improve the lives of people throughout the world.

Modular Energy Production System - MEPS®

The Modular Energy Production System (MEPS®) is a patented, self-contained, fully automated, ethanol biofuel refinery that is pre-fabricated and tested in a factory and can be shipped anywhere worldwide in container-sized modules that can be field installed much like plug-and-run LEGO® bricks.  ​  The MEPS® can be expanded to meet your business requirements and comes in 1M Gallons per Year (GPY), 2MGPY and 5MGPY configurations.

Fully Automatic System

The fully automatic, computer controlled system is one of the secrets to allowing smaller scale ethanol production to be economically viable. A master computer system controls all functions of biofuel production. All operations can be remotely controlled and viewed from a central computer system.  Automatic production is performed according to a user defined set of parameters that can be changed with just a few clicks of a mouse.

Scalability

A MEPS®-based system can be expanded to meet your business requirements. Customers can start by purchasing a 1 MGPY model, which is typically composed of approximately 10-12 modules and can later add more MEPS® modules and plug them together to make any size ethanol plant. A MEPS®-based system can be expanded to meet your business requirements.  The same master control system is expandable to control all of the modules from one simple control screen. This allows many cooperatives, entities and individuals to start-up an ethanol production system at a fraction of the cost of larger plants then scaling up the system to a large plant as the economics makes sense.

Efficient Production

The MEPS® system has an efficiency yield that compares favorably to most large scale ethanol production plants. New technologies are in development that EES believes will increase MEPS® yields even further. Combined with the economies of scale achieved during the manufacturing of the units in a factory, the MEPS® and the micro distribution model will revolutionize renewable energy needs for emerging markets both domestically and internationally.

Salable By-products

MEPS® systems can be configured to produce useful and valuable by-products that are created during the refining process, thus creating supplemental revenue streams for our customers. These by-products, unique to each feedstock and process, can be post-processed by special MEPS® modules to create animal feeds, fertilizers or charcoal briquettes that can be blended with coal for electric power generation and heating. Moreover, as technology advances continue to be made in the industry even more valuable by-products will be produced such as biochemicals, jet fuel, rocket propellant and more.

Reduced Operating Expense and Safer System to Operate

Because the EES proprietary process utilized to make ethanol does not use high pressure steam (found in most large plants), the cost and safety of the entire system is greatly improved. The typical high pressure steam boiler is eliminated, along with expensive water treatment facilities, a licensed high pressure boiler operator and the unsightly steam cloud surrounding traditional ethanol plants.

Reduced Chance of Obsolescence

The technology for producing biofuels is continually changing and improving. By building the system from a series of modules, each segment of the biofuel production process is contained within its own module. Therefore, if technology changes one step in the process, simply remove this one module and insert a new module incorporating the new technology. This is a much better solution than traditional large scale plants, which are very difficult to change and modify. This modular design enables the user to remain competitive in the market place for years to come.

Quick and Easy Installation

The entire system is shipped from our factory entirely pre-wired and pre-plumbed. We simply set the system in place, connect the modules together with the MEPS® coupling system, route the feedstock into the unit and turn on the system. Customers can be making advanced biofuels in a matter of weeks versus months of cash flow-draining construction that is typical with traditional large scale plants.

Facilities

EES has executive offices, manufacturing and automation facilities in Welcome, Minnesota; additional module manufacturing, testing and prototyping in Truman, MN; and finally our Emmetsburg, Iowa location houses our full scale demonstration MEPS® system where potential customers can come and tour and observe a complete system of modules in operation. It is also used to verify and validate the economics of converting various grains, stovers and bio- wastes into bio fuels and bio chemicals. This continuous performance and economical operational data can then by utilized by our customers, and their bankers or investors to validate various business models on different feedstocks before they themselves purchase and install their own MEPS system. Finally, we can lease the facility to corporate partners who desire to integrate and test their own new technologies and feedstocks with the rest of our complete system.
