About Pursuit Dynamics

By way of background, in 2006 Pursuit commenced an intensive research programme to enhance ethanol yields in the pre-treatment stage of conventional (starch to ethanol) bioethanol production by using modified PDX reactors. By September 2006 yield equivalents considerably in excess of those produced by current technologies were being achieved. To give some insight into the scale of the programme undertaken by Pursuit at its Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire facility during 2006 and 2007, the trial series covered almost 500 individual trial runs during which 3,500 samples were taken for analysis. The programme employed ten of our personnel on a full time basis for its duration. In December 2007 the system was successfully tested at a respected independent pilot facility in the US Midwest.

-- In 2007, the 139 operating bioethanol plants in the US reached an annualized capacity of over 7.8 billion gallons. In 2008, a further 4 billion gallons of capacity will come online from 68 refineries under construction or expanding. With the completion of existing construction projects the US bioethanol industry will have a capacity in excess of 13 billion gallons, or almost 10% of the nation's gasoline demand. (source: Renewable Fuels Association 2008, www.ethanolrfa.org ) -- Pursuit Dynamics PLC (AIM: PDX ) owns and commercialises the PDX fluid processing reactor whose benefits include significant reductions in energy usage, process acceleration and result enhancement for industries such as Food & Drink, Brewing, Fire Suppression, Decontamination and bioethanol production. -- Pursuit Dynamics is headquartered in Huntingdon, UK and has an office in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Pursuit Processing Equipment Limited, the processing equipment division of Pursuit Dynamics, operates from its own facility in Brooklands, Surrey, UK.
