Renessen to Test Higher-Value Ethanol Production System in New Pilot Plant

Renessen LLC announced plans for a new pilot plant to test a unique technology system in which new biotech corn hybrids with increased energy and nutrient levels will be combined with a novel dry corn separation technique designed for ethanol facilities. The new system represents a step change in the agriculture and biofuels industries and has the potential to increase the profitability of corn growers, ethanol producers, and swine and poultry producers. By applying a novel processing technology with a high-nutrient corn specially adapted for the process, the system would allow a standard dry-grind ethanol plant to produce several products on site, including: corn oil for food and biodiesel, a nutrient-rich feed ingredient for use in swine and poultry production, a more easily fermentable ethanol medium and an enhanced form of distiller dried grains with solubles (DDGS), the standard cattle feed co-product of today's ethanol dry milling process.
