The SkunK likes local media coverage - if for no other reason than getting some fresh quotes outside the normal PR release. Here is the Fergus Falls Journal:
“We had folks up there earlier this week actually working on getting the IT system ready for transition,” said Jim Stark, Green Plains’ vice president of media relations. He added that Green Plains is excited to have the Fergus Falls plant in its fold of producers, and work has already begun to make the plant compatible with corn oil extraction technology.
“Part of the fermentation process is that for the leftover distiller grain that would be going to the drying unit, we have installed this unit that extracts any oil that’s left in the grain,” Stark said. Practically, that means that any excess oil in the corn after ethanol is produced will be taken out and saved. “We’re getting more benefit out of that kernel of corn,” he said.
He said Green Plains expects the technology to be installed by the third quarter of this year.
