Rivers Energy Partners in areas where a lot of livestock are concentrated near streams or rivers. Our goal is to solve that pollution problem. In the cases of Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, managing and getting rid of this waste product was costing them money. We were able to not only reduce their costs but also decrease their energy load by eliminating the need to dry this material, a process that requires significant amounts of natural gas to evaporate the water. At the Jack Daniels facility, we produce a million dekatherms of gas, while also displacing another million dekatherms. Therefore, we effectively double the benefit: rather than using two million cubic feet of natural gas a day to dry the waste product, that gas is now available for residents and everyone else. By injecting one million to two million cubic feet of gas a day into the pipeline, we are addressing both the pollution issue and the natural gas shortage in the best way we can, thereby correcting an issue for energy security in the US,” he continues.
