Welcome to American Great Lakes Corporation!

American Great Lakes Corporation is a renewable energy company focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions mainly through biomass technologies.  Biomass is our main focus as it is a profitable form of renewable energy that solves or reduces residential and commercial waste. American Great Lakes was recently formed through American Alternative Energy Systems' acquisition of Great Lakes Biogas Technologies Inc. 

 Below is American Great Lakes' three main products:

EEC Anaerobic Digester

The EEC anaerobic digester turns manure and crop waste into electricity and heat.  The technology was developed in 2001 in Thunder Bay, Canada, and is the first high-efficient small-scale biogas system. The digester can be designed to scale virtually any size of operation. Unlike larger and less productive mesophilic (ambient heat) systems this system adds sufficient heat to produce a significantly higher volume of methane from the feedstock while destroying 99.99999% of all potentially harmful pathogens.  By replacing fossil energy and heat with renewable energy from waste, the system will also generate significant carbon credits. American Great Lakes has world wide rights to this technology.
 

Waste to Energy Gasification System

The Waste to Energy gasification system takes compacted dried waste, applies very high temperatures that releases clean combustible gas which is then used to fuel a combined heat and power system. The system can process sewage sludge, toxic organic wastes and virtually any type of municipal, commercial, and industrial solid waste streams. The syngas created from this system works well with the new breed of specialized combined heat and power systems (CHP) and maximizes the overall usage of the stored energy in the waste, while minimizing the huge volumes of nitrous oxides produced by incineration of waste streams with free-flowing air.  The Waste to Energy gasification system is an opportunity to provide a clean, inexpensive way of converting the most difficult and noxious waste streams into the maximum possible amount of energy, with no impact on the environment except a positive one. American Great Lakes has the North and South American rights to this technology.


The Revolution Compactor

The Revolution Compactor is a unique densification technology that achieves higher compaction ratios than conventional compactor equipment and it de-waters and compacts waste in a single operation. The Revolution compacts waste for ease of transportation. With plastics it has an impressive 50 to 1 compaction ratio. It can be used to de-water wood pulp, concentrate packaging waste like soda pop and shampoos, and complete product destruction of electronic and automotive parts. The technology is a great fit the anaerobic digester and gasification system as it divides waste into two streams. With wet waste, the liquid slurry stream from organic wastes can be used as feed in the EEC Digester and the solid waste stream can be used in the Waste to Energy gasification system.

In the UK and France alone it has a base of 320 installed units in many Fortune 500 companies. American Great Lakes is the first to introduce the system to the Americas and has the exclusive North and South American rights.
