Epcot Crenshaw Corporation (ECC) develops innovative products and systems to deliver solutions for existing and looming environmental problems. Through research partnerships with academic, private, and public organizations, we bring both a local and global perspective to create comprehensive solutions for industrial sustainability.
Our pipeline includes technologies that are in various stages of commercialization, while others are still in the infancy stages of research and development. The advantage of our strategy is the broad range of competences in renewable energy and fuel production, waste management, and resource reclamation that we have combined to develop turnkey solutions for the food, water, oil, and gas industry sectors. We believe that each of our ventures has the opportunity to be disruptive in its relevant sector.
OUR MISSION
Our mission to inspire innovation is guided by the understanding that innovation in sustainable development must take precedence in order to mitigate further damage to Earth's natural ecosystems. Central to ECC's approach is a dedication to driving change in close alliance with strategic partners.
OUR VISION
The toll that globalization has taken on our world is diminishing the ability of populations to meet basic human needs. With growing concerns about increasingly scarce natural resources and climate change, the environmental outlook is dim. We believe that the consequences of current neglience will rest upon the shoulders of future generations, which is why the desire to achieve our mission is driven by the vision of a restored balance between human needs, and the carrying capacity of Earth's natural systems.
Our Business
R & D initiatives under management include:
APPLIED MOLECULAR ENGINEERING
We are manufacturing microbial populations to enhance biological processes for the treatment of industrial waste streams. Engineering microbes to optimize specific unit processes will lead to increased energy and system efficiencies.
BIOMASS DRIVEN RENEWABLE ENERGY
By coupling distributed generation with resource recovery, ECC has developed a distributed energy resource (DER) system platform that is redefining the model for waste-to-energy systems. Our site-specific solutions are designed to maximize profitability while eliminating environmental impacts.
SMART MICROGRID TECHNOLOGY
ECC is developing ways to increase the reliability of local power generation, storage and distribution systems. Our microgrid technologies can regulate the supply of electricity to co-localized customers to eliminate their reliance on the grid.
GAS-TO-LIQUID CONVERSION
The ability to produce synthetic liquid fuels and oils from biomass, coal or natural gas will have a growing impact on our economy as oil reserves become scarce. ECC is leading the pursuit for alternatives with scalable Fischer-Tropsch technologies that can be deployed for a variety of applications.
QUANTITATIVE NUTRIENT VERIFICATION SYSTEMS
Comprehensive nutrient management plans minimize environmental impacts by decreasing runoff, which damages local and downstream water quality, but often to an extent unknown. ECC is developing science-based systems that will enable regulators to verify that pollution reduction targets are met.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND AQUAPONICS
From rural cooperatives formed to recycle resources within farming communities, to developing self-sustainable aquaponics facilities for deployment in urban areas, ECC is working to support food producers in meeting the needs of our growing population.
Consulting
Our consultancy services include:
FRONT END ENGINEERING DESIGN CONTRACTS
for conceptual designs, feasibility studies, and pre-bid engineering support for renewable energy, and brownfield and superfund remediation projects.
WASTE TO ENERGY SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS AND UPGRADES
for improved efficiency of existing installations.
INDUSTRY PROCESS EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENTS
to lower operating costs through increased energy efficiency.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPPORT
services as we work in unison with environmental authorities to ensure that our customers in the agricultural, industrial, and municipal sectors meet or exceed stormwater and wastewater management requirements.
Does your renewable energy project need support to take it to the next steps? Are you looking for concrete ways to comply with environmental regulations, or increase the bottom line for your existing facilities? We will partner with you, dedicating our full resources to develop solutions from conception to completion. Contact us to learn how we can help.
Our Subsidiaries
We execute the commercialization of products and services through operating subsidiaries formed in joint ventures with industry partners. As we continue to develop our portfolio of technologies, we actively seek investors and partners in both the public and private sectors, to provide the support needed to transfer new technologies into the global market place.
GREEN HARVEST ONE
Green Harvest One is utilizing our breakthrough technologies to develop responses to environmental challenges, and deploy them as profitable business enterprises. Through strategic partnerships, GH1 is working to sustain industries troubled by the abundance of organic waste.
GREEN HARVEST AUGSBURGER
The Green Harvest Augsburger pilot plant was deployed to demonstrate our DER system technologies at industrial scale. Located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the completed facility will be the first distributed energy system of its type in the United States.
