THERMAL KINETICS IS AWARDED AL-CORN CLEAN FUELS SANITIZER-GRADE ETHANOL PROJECT

February 17, 2021
1746

PENNSAUKEN, N.J.  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RCM Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGM: RCMT), a
premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and
maximize the operational performance of its customers through the adaptation and
deployment of advanced engineering, specialty health care, and information
technology services, today provided an update on its recently obtained projects
to assist its clients in producing higher grades of ethanol for use in beverage
and hygienic applications such as sanitizer-grade ethanol. The recent projects
include both USP Grade (US Pharmacopeia) and GNS Grade (Grain Neutral Spirits).

As industry scrambles to retool and pivot to assist in the fight against
Covid-19, demand for sanitizers has surged dramatically, and the area is
expected to see continued growth.   According to research published by Fior
Markets, the global hand sanitizer market is expected to grow from $1.2 billion
in 2019 to $2.1 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period
2019-2027. This anticipated growth has led manufacturers to lean on professional
service firms and equipment suppliers to assist them in their new strategy and
enable them to deliver swift results.

Thermal Kinetics, a division of RCM Technologies (USA), Inc., has been
contracted by Al-Corn Clean Fuels to expand its existing Fuel Ethanol facility
to produce 20,000,000 gallons per year of USP Grade Ethanol to meet the growing
need for the sanitizer market. “The Thermal Kinetics team installed the original
plant and it was important for us to maintain that continuity. Additionally,
Thermal Kinetics’ process design allowed us to leverage energy integration from
the installed systems to the new production line,” said Thomas Harwood, COO of
Al-Corn.

Thermal Kinetics is executing additional projects related to the growing demand
for sanitizer-grade ethanol. Thermal Kinetics has been contracted by several
other customers during the second and third quarters of 2020 to provide detailed
design engineering to expand the production of sanitizer-grade ethanol to their
existing client bases in the North American market. In addition to Al-Corn, the
list of projects includes equipment supply to a second customer. Both equipment
supply contracts are slated for commencement during the first quarter of 2021.
Three other facilities have contracted Thermal Kinetics to supply a detailed
upfront engineering package prior to equipment purchase. This second group of
plants should be operational in the third and fourth quarter of 2021 with
Thermal Kinetics anticipating that it will provide the main equipment and
engineering support.

“The demand for higher grade ethanol has outgrown product availability due to
the current Covid-19 pandemic,” stated Chris Brown, Founder and President of
Thermal Kinetics. “Traditional corn-based ethanol plants require a range of $5 –
$10 million in additional equipment to convert fuel-grade ethanol to USP- or
GNS-grade ethanol suitable for sanitizers. Thermal Kinetics is well suited for
these projects. Our standard ethanol process offers the best steam economy
available. We have used similar design engineering principles to ensure the USP-
and GNS-grade upgrades offer the most efficient design with respect to energy
usage and plant economics. Of particular importance is technology to recover 80%
of the energy required from the base fuel ethanol plant. This assures that
existing plant infrastructure such as boiler and cooling capacity remain
unaffected.”

RCM completed the acquisition of Thermal Kinetics in November 2018. “The
addition of Thermal Kinetics to RCM Technologies has broadened our reach. The
Thermal Kinetics engineering group offers value-add solutions that are best in
class and adds the equipment supply element to the scope of our projects which
we previously did not have,” explains RCM Engineering Services President Frank
Petraglia. “It is exciting to witness the current growth and potential of the
Thermal Kinetics Projects Group.”
