ABOUT ARISDYNE SYSTEMS, INC.
Arisdyne Systems, Inc. is the leading provider of retrofit equipment and value-creating services for fuel ethanol and biodiesel producers. Arisdyne specializes in designing small footprint devices that utilize controlled hydrodynamic cavitation. Controlled flow cavitation is a patented process that generates an enormous energy peak in the form of a shock wave creating a highly efficient and elegant way to reduce particle size, disrupt cell structures, and disperses agglomerates. Today, Arisdyne applies this technology to increase yield for ethanol production, reduce catalyst consumption for biodiesel production, and change viscosity of heavy crude oil.

IntregroServices Group to add industry expertise to ensure smooth installations

CLEVELAND, OH (June 3, 2010) — Arisdyne Systems, Inc, a leading technology and process services company headquartered in Cleveland announces a joint agreement with IntegroServices Group (ISG), Inc., a process consulting services group in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The companies have agreed to collaborate on the introduction of Arisdyne’s Controlled Flow Cavitation technology to the ethanol fuel industry.

ISG will provide assistance with business development and process expertise introducing cavitation technology to their key clients and will work with Arisdyne’s engineers and business development team to design, install and monitor results during the initial test period.

“Pete Bendorf and his team at ISG are active evaluators of diverse ethanol process technologies and plant designs. They also have broad experience working with ethanol boards, investors and operators, which provides us with critical access and opportunity for success with this new technology,” said Fred Clarke, Executive Vice President and one of the founders of Arisdyne. “Besides extending our reach and credibility in the industry, ISG will provide after installation support to help achieve the level of up time that the industry expects.”

“This collaboration helps our clients by bringing the union of a technical provider, with an engineering group with plant operations experience, to improve overall plant efficiency,” said Pete Bendorf, founder and principal director of ISG. “Arisdyne’s solution is in the front end process of the plant and their process directly improves ethanol production yield with virtually no additional overhead.”

Dr. Peter Reimers, President and CEO of Arisdyne, sees joining forces with Pete Bendorf and ISG as a major confirmation of the efficacy of the Cavitation solution which will also help address the systems integration of Arisdyne’s technology with other complementary yield enhancement approaches.

“Seeking ways to reduce the energy consumption, improve water efficiency, and positively impact the green house gas footprint are critical challenges to corn-based ethanol producers,” explained Dr. Reimers. “Since today’s plants cannot expand their capacities, yield improvements must be implemented to improve performance. Tackling this challenge, while concurrently going after the unused corn fiber, offers an opportunity to demonstrate the advance fuel potential for current corn-based plants and related infrastructure. Current producers would have the ability to fulfill the advanced fuel mandates without requiring any change to existing investments in agricultural production, land management, transportation, and distribution – very quickly and at a price well below the millions being thrown at more exotic options.”

ISG and Arisdyne will work together to address these challenges. ISG will assist with the introduction and installation of cavitation systems to enhance the access and conversion of starch to ethanol, while Arisdyne supports this effort and extends their reach into cellulosic conversion technologies.

“As small entrepreneurial companies, both ISG and Arisdyne will have an opportunity to work collaboratively, learning new approaches to optimize systems, taking advantage of entirely new and challenging technologies that we expect will complement each other and help ethanol producers,” said Pete Bendorf.

With 18 years of ethanol experience, IntegroServices Group effectively analyzes clients’ needs with a focus on increasing the bottom line for the client. Other diversified areas of energy operations allow ISG to recommend alternatives or opportunities which are not typically available to groups solely involved in ethanol.

Compliance Plus Enterprise Directing the Certification Process Efforts

AKRON, OHIO (June 3, 2010) — GMP Friction Products, a leading provider of friction material for clutch plates and brake pads is working with Compliance Plus Enterprise LLC to achieve its AS9100C Compliance. The AS9100C is the standardized quality management program for the aerospace industry.

AS9100C certification is designed to eliminate any potential weaknesses in the systems to improve quality, consistency and customer satisfaction. While similar to the ISO Certification, the AS9100C focuses on the areas unique to the aerospace industry.

Carolyn Petriella, President and Owner of Compliance Plus Enterprises, LLC, helped GMP Friction Products to document the systems and processes necessary to receive their ISO9001:2008 certification.

“We found that when Carolyn Petriella directed the ISO effort by coaching the employees on how to interview, what to look for, and how to document the processes, we were able to improve our training, prevent safety hazards and enhance product quality,” explained Lynch. “Now we’re looking forward to her assistance in helping us to complete our AS9100C compliance.”

Critical Path Management LLC to add industry expertise to ensure smooth installations

CLEVELAND, OH (May 28, 2010) — Arisdyne Systems, Inc, a leading technology and process services company headquartered in Cleveland announces a joint agreement with Critical Path Management LLC (CPM), a process consulting services group in Gleason, Wisconsin. The companies have agreed to collaborate on the introduction of Arisdyne’s Controlled Flow Cavitation technology to the fuel ethanol industry.

CPM will provide assistance with sales and process expertise introducing cavitation technology to their key clients and will work with Arisdyne’s engineers and business development team to design, install and monitor results during the initial test period.

CPM’s diverse experience with the challenges of alternative equipment technologies, plant designs, and operational/process controls and analysis will add a critical dimension to our team,” said Fred Clarke, Executive Vice President and one of the founders of Arisdyne. “Besides extending our reach and credibility in the industry, CPM will provide after installation support to help achieve the level of up time that the industry expects.”

We’ve worked with many ethanol producers to manage start up challenges and assist with plant optimization,” said Bob Shank, lead engineer. “We’ve found that Arisdyne’s simple and elegant technology delivers real results and we’re delighted to be working with them.”

Dr. Peter Reimers, President and CEO of Arisdyne, believes that the collaboration will also help address two of the major challenges facing the ethanol industry today.

“The starch that is left behind after processing could be used for higher yields,” explained Dr. Reimers. “Since today’s plants cannot expand their capacities, yield improvements must be implemented to improve performance. Corn fiber offers an opportunity for improvement through cellulosic conversion into ethanol. This will fulfill the advanced fuel mandates without requiring any change to existing infrastructure.”

CPM and Arisdyne will work together to address these challenges. CPM will assist with the introduction and installation of cavitation systems to enhance the access and conversion of starch to ethanol, while Arisdyne supports this effort and extends their reach into cellulosic conversion technologies.<
