Canadian government to invest $3.7 million to help install ICM’s FST

In Canada, the Government of Canada is making an investment of $3.7 million to help Integrated Grain Processors Cooperative (IGPC) Ethanol Inc. install Canada’s first Fiber Separation Technology(TM) (FST) system to help boost production through operational efficiencies.

This investment will enable IGPC Ethanol to have a higher output of ethanol, corn oil and distillers’ grains, develop new higher value animal feed products and lower the plant’s energy consumption. The introduction of FST at the IGPC plant allows for the early separation of fibre from corn prior to its fermentation, increasing the efficiency of the distillation process and producing a cleaner fiber product.
