GERS Licensee Flint Hills Producing 30% More Corn Oil...

Flint Hills Resources is the fifth largest ethanol producer in the United States. Its Biofuels and Ingredients business operates seven ethanol plants in three states with a combined annual capacity of 850 million gallons.

Distillers Corn Oil
Focused on producing the most value possible from each kernel, we process about 20 million gallons of distillers corn oil each year to help make biodiesel and ingredients for livestock feed.

High Protein System Allows Flint Hills To Extract 30% More Corn Oil

“This makes MSC protein the second highest-value coproduct a plant can produce, with corn oil the main value driver on a per-pound basis,”

The technology also allows plants to produce more corn oil. “We typically see, in FQPT’s MSC system, about a 30 percent or greater increase in oil yield,” Jakel says. “That becomes another revenue stream.” The system also improves fermentation and distillation. All those factors combine to reduce the cost of production, he says.
Flint Hills Resources has used the MSC technology at its Fairmont, Nebraska, plant for about six months, and sells the protein product as NexPro. Mark Murphy, general manager of ingredients at Flint Hills Resources, says the plant is producing additional corn oil and has maintained DDG quality.

“We’re happy with the results,” Murphy says. “We’re able to make another valuable protein product for the market without affecting ethanol production.” Flint Hills plans to add the technology to its Shell Rock, Iowa, plant.
