Peter Vaisler,
Director, President & CEO
Since 1995, Mr. Vaisler
and a team of third party engineers and scientists have
been working
to develop the ARC Unit by integrating existing manufacturing
and energy components into a single process system to
thermally reduce waste rubber to a fuel oil for use as
a feedstock to generate electricity. Using knowledge gleaned
from research and development projects by several U.S.
and international groups, Mr. Vaisler and his team applied
existing chemical manufacturing processes to thermally
reduce rubber to fuel oil for energy production. A by-product
of the ARC thermal reduction of rubber to fuel oil is
a commercial grade of carbon black. Mr. Vaisler and his
team also developed and implemented strategies related
to site selection, regulatory affairs, permitting and
communications with a view to refining the business concept
to the point that installation of the ARC Unit could be
accomplished in various U.S. jurisdictions. Mr. Vaisler
managed the engineering team and coordinated design and
fabrication activities addressing technical refinements
to the integration of “off-the-shelf” system
components that will be purchased by Alliance for the
Michigan installation.
From 1979 to 1985,
Mr. Vaisler was a senior executive responsible for project
management with
a Canadian food manufacturer coordinating the design,
installation, and start-up of a new manufacturing process,
including conveyance and packaging machinery innovations.
As a Project Manager, Mr. Vaisler coordinated the activities
of European based engineers & fabricators, and North
American contractors in connection with the use of fractional
evaporators for manufacture of fruit and berry concentrates.
From 1986 to 1989,
Mr. Vaisler was a corporate planning consultant assisting
technology based
industries and health care institutions with the commercialization
of technological innovations. As part of his responsibilities,
Mr. Vaisler initiated technical and business activities
pertaining to biomedical waste disposal utilizing “state-of-the-art” incinerators.
His interest in the thermal reduction of rubber waste
to fuel oil commenced during this period in his career.
In November, 1989, Mr. Vaisler joined
Conjoint Export Services. As Director of International
Trade Development for a Canadian and U.S. initiative,
he provided export market management services to primarily
technology based manufacturers seeking both export and
import market growth. Mr. Vaisler commenced his activities
pertaining to the development of the ARC Unit in 1994.
Mr. Vaisler obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the
University of Western Ontario in 1974.
