Capabilities
Milling & Fiber Separation Technologies
Service websitePatented front-end process upgrades that maximize starch and oil extraction while reducing energy use, chemical consumption, and equipment wear for corn ethanol producers.
- Selective Milling Technology (SMT / SMT V2)
Exposes the maximum amount of starch and oil in a corn kernel for ethanol conversion and distillers corn oil recovery. Bolts onto existing plant infrastructure with no disruption to prime operations and provides the platform for ICM fiber separation systems.
- Fiber Separation Technology (FST / FST Next Gen)
Removes fiber before fermentation to maximize throughput of fermentable carbohydrates, reduce equipment wear, lower energy demand in distillation and drying, and cut chemical cleaning requirements - contributing directly to operational savings.
Oil Recovery, Feed & Cellulosic Ethanol Systems
Service websiteDownstream separation and yield-enhancement systems for distillers oil recovery, feed product quality, and cellulosic ethanol production.
- Base Tricanter System (BTS)
Three-phase centrifuge that separates the maximum amount of corn distillers oil from syrup, maximizing oil recovery and adding a direct revenue stream for producers.
- Thin Stillage Solids Separation System (TS4)
- Feed Optimization Technology (FOT)
- Gen 1.5 Fiber to Cellulosic Ethanol Technology
