Corn LP recently signed a license agreement with GreenShift for their process HERE. Corn LP has now entered into a purchase agreement for equipment with Solution Recovery Services HERE. You can see the Solution Recovery Services website Here.
Solution Recovery Services, on their website acknowledged some 10mmgy gallons of corn oil entrapped in the DDGs of a 100mmgy ethanol plant. They also claim that "Approximately 25-30% of the total available corn oil within the DDGs of a dry mill ethanol plant can be cost effectively separate. . ." That is 2.5-3 gallons of corn oil for each 100 gallons of ethanol produced. That is compared to GreenShift's press release yesterday that stated:
"one of our licensees, the first to have installed our full patented Method I corn oil extraction process, has demonstrated consistent production of more than 4 gallons of corn oil for each 100 gallons of ethanol produced"

You have to leave some oil in the DDG in order to get top dollar for selling it as feed.
True and that amount of fat needed depends on the industry: Dairy, swine, beef, poultry. Also the indivdual customer who feeds out differently since ddgs are just a part of any livestock diet. DDGs are not cookie cutter, nor are the buyers.
All that being said, corn oil is worth MUCH MORE than ddgs, both as a feed supplement and as biodiesel feedstock and now as industrial feedstock for polomers and individual lipids etc.
When you take out the fat you raise the protein and increase the amount of ddgs you can feed to MOST livestock increasing the market. Generally the industry would be much better off if they could take out 80-90% of the oil out and then sell back a portion of the oil as a feed supplement for those who desired a higher fat content. That would also increase worth of the ddgs as an additional high value revenue stream at the plant involving advanced technologies with ddgs as the feedstock.
That would increases the life of the ddgs, the flowability, the energy use at the plant and give the farmer the exact fat content he wants in his feed mix.
Do you think they're talkng about Glacial Lakes or Oshkosh, WI? If it's Oshkosh, is this an indication that the Y/A systems have been completed?
Wonder how the Riga plant COES installation is doing. I remember that it was producing more then .8 lb per bushel when Greenshift put the system in. Skunk...what are your inside sources saying? Go Greenshift!
