EcoSystem Engages World Class Entomologist
Ralph Williams, PhD, D-ABFE Joins EcoSystem Team
EcoSystem Corporation (OTCBB: ESYM) today announced that Ralph Williams, PhD, D-ADBE has joined the EcoSystem team as a Consulting Entomologist.
Dr. Williams will assist EcoSystem’s engineering team on designing environmental controls to optimize soldier fly breeding behavior. He will also provide guidance and direction to ensure EcoSystem bioreactor soldier fly colonies are healthy and genetically superior.
Dr. Williams has over 30 years of extension work focused in the area of arthropods and their contribution to public health and veterinary importance. Dr. Williams provides consulting services on the development of integrated pest management strategies relative to the protection and productivity of livestock and poultry. Dr. Williams received his Ph.D. from the Oklahoma State University in 1976. He is member of Entomological Society of America, Indiana Vector Control Association, American Academy of Forensic Science, Diplomate of the American Board of Forensic Entomologists, North American Forensic Entomology Association, Indiana Homicide & Violent Crime Investigators Association Indiana Coroner’s Association, and Deputy Coroner, White County, Indiana
“We are very pleased that Dr. Williams has agreed to support EcoSystem”, says Glen Courtright, President and CEO of EcoSystem. “His wealth of expertise will be a valuable contribution to our team to ensure that our engineered ecosystems are optimized to our customers’ unique feedstock characteristics and that the Black Soldier Fly colonies are healthy and vibrant.”
With nearly 28 million laying hens, Ohio ranks as the second-largest egg-producing state in the country. Converting the manure alone from Ohio’s egg producing industry with EcoSystem’s Black Soldier Fly based technology could yield up to 10,000,000 gallons in natural oils for renewable fuel production and 19,000 tons of high protein animal feeds annually.
EcoSystem’s Black Soldier Fly bioreactor technology can convert a diverse array of feedstocks, including poultry and swine manure, livestock processing wastes, and food scrap waste. Black Soldier Flies are clean, energy-efficient and voracious. They rapidly consume large quantities of feed during maturation and have a high tolerance against contaminants that would cripple algae and other bioreactor technologies.
