In the United States (US), ethanol plant process technology developer Fluid Quip Technologies LLC (FQT) has announced that E Energy Adams LLC in Adams, Gage County, Nebraska (NE), will implement FQT’s "DCO Technology" and "Overdrive" systems to increase corn oil recovery and improve process efficiencies. Installation of the systems is underway at the E Energy Adams corn ethanol facility.
According to FQT, its DCO Technology provides a fast-to-install solution that enhances corn oil recovery while improving overall plant operations.
DCO Technology is a strategic, scalable solution that, combined with Overdrive, drives higher corn oil recovery and delivers strong ROI with minimal ongoing chemical expenses. With successful installations of DCO and Overdrive systems currently operating across the industry, we’re pleased to support E Energy Adams with these solutions to enhance productivity and long-term growth, said Neal Jakel, President of Fluid Quip Technologies.
The technology washes more oil to thin stillage while also clarifying the stream, reducing evaporator fouling, improving heat transfer, and clarifying backset, resulting in improved process efficiencies.
The Overdrive system conditions the oil centrifuge feed stream, improving recovery and reducing the need for chemicals.
Together, these systems help boost corn oil yield, strengthen operational reliability, and reduce ongoing operating costs.
We’re always looking for innovative solutions that strengthen performance and enhance throughput. We chose to work with Fluid Quip Technologies because of their proven track record and commitment to delivering high-quality solutions. DCO and Overdrive will help us maximize corn oil recovery and drive measurable performance across our operation, said Richard Weibye, Chief Technical Officer, E Energy Adams.
