Fuel Ethanol Workshop (FEW)

WEDNESDAY, June 29 2011
1:30 pm - 3:00 pm Concurrent Track

Track 3: Coproducts/Product Diversification

Corn Oil Extraction: How, How Much? Why and When?

Upwards of 100 U.S. corn ethanol producers are currently faced with the dilemma of whether to extract corn oil, how much to extract, when to make the investment, and which technology to select. Corn oil extraction is arguably one of the fastest routes to untapped ethanol plant revenue, but do the latest revenue and extraction yield claims hold up under producer scrutiny? Discerning industry professionals will find out as four top-tier competitors in this space talk tech, money, and hard data.

Skunk,

You must have more recent information than is on the FEW Website -- (http://www.fuelethanolworkshop.com/ema/DisplayPage.aspx?pageId=Home)

I can't find any mention of GERS staff presenting or exhibiting any where on the FEW site. The 2011 Exhibitor List has all our competitors, but neither GERS or ESYR are to be found any where. Does your more recent version show otherwise?

The presentation at 3:30-5:00 p.m. Corn-Oil-to-Biodiesel Plays should be interesting as well. I wonder if Greenshift is, by chance, the additional speaker to be announced?

Track 3: Coproducts/Product Diversification
Positioning for Corn-Oil-to-Biodiesel Plays
The U.S. EPA expects corn oil to make up one-third of all the feedstocks used for biodiesel and renewable diesel in America by 2022. As more producers eye extraction opportunities, it’s important to develop a core knowledge of the coproduct’s principal end-use market. Find out what leading ethanol and biodiesel producers already know about this business—including feedstock spec and delivery expectations—and discover what it takes to become a trusted corn oil supplier.

Go to the "see Here" link on the blog and then move down to 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm time slot.

If you go to this website http://kmaland.com/default.asp
at 4:30 Central time, today, you can see a live stream of the unveiling of GPRE's commercial scale algae reactors, fully operational.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will be there and it is open to the public. I was planning to go as it's a hop-n-skip from Omaha, but I'll have to settle for this live stream. :(

I believe the COES at this Shenandoah plant is nearly complete and will be on-line shortly.


(Shenandoah) -- Just a reminder that BioProcess Algae will formally unveil its algae bioreactor project at Shenandoah's Green Plains Renewable Energy Plant at 4:30 p.m. today, April, 15.

The public is invited to attend the event. A huge enclosed tent has been erected and spectators will be shuttled by bus to the site from the Eaton parking lot beginning at 3 p.m.

KMA News will provide a live video feed of the event this afternoon for those unable to attend. You will find the feed on our home page shortly before the event begins.

Former Iowa Governor and current US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will have comments this afternoon and will again speak tonight at the annual banquet of the Shenandoah Chamber and Industry.

Anony,

That is what I find on the FEW Web site:

Fractionation as a Biorefining Catalyst
Leading-edge ethanol producers are demanding new ways to capture the full value of a kernel of corn, and fractionation technology market leaders have stepped up to the plate, providing here-and-now routes to next-generation biorefinering. Compare and contrast frac approaches—both wet and dry methods—as four leading players in the game place their cards on the table and put their pathways into perspective.

* Moderator: TBA
* Jeff Scharping, ICM Inc.
Total Kernel Optimization
* Pete Moss, Cereal Process Technologies
Analysis of Fractionation as a Precursor to Biorefining
* Michael Franko, Fluid Quip Inc.
Wet Fractionation System to Produce High-Value Co-Products
* Leon Langhauser, Langhauser Associates Inc.
Food, Feed, Fibre, Fuel Yield

Where is GERS?

Notice your link does not have a moderator yet either. Apparently SkunK's link has both that and GERS so must be more current. Note also SkunK's link starts out http://www.fuelethanolworkshop.com
it is on the FEW web site. Some how he found it.

The ESYR 10-K is out. One word describes it -- OOFTA! Hope this doesn't drag down GERS, they are so tightly entangled.
