**The equipment for a corn oil extraction system has been ordered by our partner in this project, GS Clean Tech, Chicago, Ill. Read inside for further information on these projects.**

"In addition to providing another alternative fuel source through biodiesel, corn oil extraction has other benefits. This new process will increase run time by decreasing the frequency of cleans on the evaporation process. It will also improve the quality of the dried distiller’s grain (DDG) by removing the crude corn oil that currently is being dried. Assistant manager of ethanol operations, Dan Shickles, explained that if the oil is removed first, the plant does not need to run the outlet temperature on the dryer as high. There will also be less accumulated build-up in the dryer that currently occurs. While the process does not remove all the oil, it will be a significant improvement and provide another source of revenue. Construction of the corn oil extraction system will be done by GS Clean Tech, of Chicago, Ill. Norm Scheels, plant engineer, expects the foundations to be poured yet this fall. The equipment is on order and will be shipped from Sweden after Thanksgiving. “The weather will play a critical role in how quick we get this up and running,” Norm said. The location of the corn oil tanks has not yet been determined, as Norm explained that thought to future United Ethanol advancements and new technologies needs to be taken into consideration. "

Many of the questions concerning the trouble with the local Department of Natural Resources are also addressed in the "Greetings from the CEO" David Cramer, President and CEO
