Corn Composition • Looking for: • Improved efficiency • Reduced energy usage • Reduced water usage • Diversified product stream Why Fractionate? Source: 2009 FEW Conference presentation by Reg Ankrom (CPT)
Capital Costs • Range from $10 million to $40 million for a 50 million gallon ethanol plant • The inclusion of corn oil extraction technologies moves costs to the higher end of the spectrum • Most vendors point to a payback period of under 3 years Variable Costs • Decreased energy needs per gallon for: • Liquidification and cooking • Distillation • Drying of distillers grains and solubles • Possible energy generation from bran • Could reduce energy demand by nearly 50%
Product Streams Corn costs: $4.98 per bushel, Illinois ethanol plant report (USDA-AMS, as of Oct. 8, 2010) Traditional ethanol plant: 2.8 gallons of ethanol @ $2.01/gallon = $5.63 17.75 lbs. of DDGS @ $144.50/ton = $1.28 Revenues per bushel = $6.91 Ethanol plant w/ fractionation: 2.72 gallons of ethanol @ $2.01/gallon = $5.47 13.5 lbs. of high protein DG @ $154.50/ton = $1.04 5 lbs. of germ @ $158/ton = $0.40 3 lbs. of bran @ $75/ton = $0.11 Revenues per bushel = $7.02
