"In February 2012, the Company completed installation of a corn oil separation system. The corn oil system will create a new revenue source for the Company." See Here Page 13

Note the key words "corn oil separation system". Saying "separation" instead of extraction normally points to an ICM system. Lots of layers here but Fagen owns a big chunk of Heron Lake and many **** agreements as laid out HERE.

All rest easy...it is Greenshift install.
No its not. It's icm
How about either side presenting some evidence? Just a wild idea.
Not sure what facts I could present other then the fact the that I saw it. The centrifuge is a alfa with a pretreatment tanks and heater.
I think you are full of it. Alfalfa lava is a greenshift extraction unit. Not a separation system. You probably saw a tricanter
If you saw it then it is worth looking into. Thanks
If it is a Greenshift system how come it was not anounced! Is this suppose to be kept out of the public eye? What's going on skuck man!
The Andersons's third ethanol plant is now extracting corn oil!
This plant is a joint venture with Marathon Petroleum (MPC) which is owned by Marathon Oil (MRO).
Listen to The Andersons Q4 conference call here...
http://edge.media-server.com/m/p/gw355z3x/lan/en
Here's the corn oil highlights from the call.
6:00 minute mark
"Additionally the plants have invested furthur in corn oil, E-85, and CO2 and these have proven to be profitable business additions."
53:45 mark
"...Investment in existing facilities...an example in ethanol would be corn oil in all of our plants which we're now in that position at this point in time.
"The last corn oil facility is up and running is that correct?"
"Yes it is, all three are running."
----
Corn oil is now available at all three plants. Check this out. This is from Marathon Petroleums website. Apparently, two of The Andersons ethanol plants are partnerships with Marathon Petroleum, not just one. The Ohio plant is 50% and the Indiana plant is 35% owned by Marathon Oil.
Good Luck To All!$!$!$!$!$!$
First bashers complain if something is announced because it is "pumpng the stock". Now they complain if they have no PRs to complain about. The annual report will be out in a timely and accurate manner within 30 days and then you can complain about that.
Finally you will complain that no one told you to get aboard before the price rocketed up to the stratospere.
We will all enjoy hearing those complaints
This could be like Platinum Ethanol where Fagen installs a GreenShift system without a GreenShift contract, then has the gonads to sue GreenShift in an attempt to keep from getting sued first.
Seems like these big companies are used to having their way with Farmer COOPs and demanding whatever terms they want They have no idea on how to deal with GreenShift on equal terms.
Corn LP Newsletter: "Very Profitable Year"
"The CORN, LP lab utilizes
a FOSS Soxtec extractor
to determine oil content
in DDGS.
The COSS system
removes corn oil from midstillage,
but a portion of the
corn oil must remain in the
midstillage so fat content in
the final DDGS product is
maintained above the
required specification.
DDGS samples are analyzed
on a routine basis to
ensure oil content is maintained
in the target range."

Much more to come. I believe I found prrof of several new customers! I'm working on those posts now...
Good Luck To All!$!$!$!$
ANDE CC 23:30 minute mark
"Reviewing possible expansion opportunities at existing facilities as well as acquisition opportunities in 2012."
ANDE buys infringer Amaizing Energy
I think we can scratch Amaizing Energy off the infringer list. It wouldn't make any sense for three plants to be licensed and one infringing. ANDE considers the technology much the same in all their plants. I think a settlement is one of those contingencies they're working on.
"With much of the same technology in all four plants, we expect to bring additional efficiencies to drive down our cost per gallon, and maximize returns to shareholders as we have successfully demonstrated during the past five years."The transaction, which remains subject to several contingencies, is anticipated to close in the second quarter."
Besides, ANDE management is well known for their high standards, high morals, and their respect for the law. Quite the opposite for ICM.
Good Luck To All!$!$!$!$
Note that Fagan and ICM are part of the Board of Directors of Corn LP. What is with that? I know GERS has the license but ...

Sunoco’s Volney Ethanol Plant Completes First Year of Operations
Facility continues to make improvements for ongoing operations
Sunoco, Inc.'s (NYSE: SUN) Fulton ethanol plant announced the successful completion of a first full year of ethanol production at its Volney facility in 2011.
"We are pleased with the operations at Fulton," said Boyd Foster, Sunoco's vice-president of wholesale marketing. "We will continue to find ways to optimize the plant to deliver ethanol and distillers grain to our customers in 2012 and beyond."
After investing over $24 million prior to starting up the facility in 2010, Sunoco made additional investments in 2011 to enhance reliability and add a second ethanol loading rack. Moreover, Sunoco added a corn oil extraction system which successfully started-up in December.
This year's capital spending plan includes productivity, reliability and environmental projects that will add value and continue to improve operations at the facility.
Sunoco's Fulton ethanol plant is an 85 million gallon per year facility, which began production in June 2010. It is responsible for supplying part of the Sunoco retail network's ethanol needs in addition to the ethanol that is blended to make Sunoco Green E15, the official fuel of NASCAR.
Ethanol produced at Fulton is also sold to other terminals across New York for gasoline blending. In addition to ethanol, Fulton produces high quality dry distillers grains that are sold to farmers as feed for livestock.
Sunoco is a leading logistics and retail company. The company owns the general partner interest of Sunoco Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE: SXL), which consists of a 2 percent ownership interest and incentive distribution rights, and owns a 32 percent interest in the partnership's limited partner units.
Sunoco Logistics is an owner and operator of complementary pipeline, terminal and crude oil acquisition and marketing assets. Sunoco also has a network of approximately 4,900 retail locations in 23 states.

Yet another Greenshift customer spending money on production upgrades. I can't help but wonder if this is why the dissication patents were fast-tracked. Are all of Greenshift's customers in on it? Would hammer mills be a thing of the past if producers use the powerful vortex of the Tornado Generator? Pneumatic air powered devices are more powerful and efficient. Bypassing the hammer milling process would save a ton of energy as well as money on costly equipment.
"A major disadvantage of the hammermill is the tremendous amount of wear (linings must constantly be replaced).
Small grain hammermills can be operated on household current. Large automobile shredders can use one or more 2000 horsepower (1.5 MW) diesel engines to power the hammermill."
Bascically, the Tornado Generator shreds the corn better than a miller mill, using less energy, and increasing ethanol yields. How about a royalty for the increase in ethanol gallons instead of just corn oil. Of coarse this would be a royalty on billions of gallons instead of 10's of millions...
Good Luck To All!$!$!$!$

I think this might have something to do with the quick patent, http://www.uspto.gov/patents/init_events/green_tech.jsp
All will be overturned soon and some will have to answer for all they have done IMO. Good luck to all. ;)
