Ethanol Oil Recovery Systems - biodiesel from corn
17 January 2006Ethanol Oil Recovery Systems has created an oil recovery process that works in conjunction with ethanol production facilities, enabling them to produce a high grade oil from corn to be used for biodiesel.
Biodiesel currently comes mainly from soybeans as well as other plants and animal fats. Corn has historically not been used because conventional extraction processes were not capable of producing a high enough grade of oil. The new technology extracts crude corn oil from the evaporation area of dry mill ethanol facilities. SunSource BioEnergy plans to finance the construction of a 50 million gallon biodiesel production facility that will refine the crude corn oil and convert it into biodiesel fuels. By extracting the corn oil, ethanol facilities gain a new revenue stream and reduce costs through the improved operating efficiency of certain distilling processes. SunSource BioEnergy additionally plans to offer the technology and oil purchase agreements to other ethanol producers across the industry.
