Bushmills Ethanol invests $3.8 million to cut water usage by a third

In Minnesota, Bushmills Ethanol has invested $3.8 million to reduce its water footprint by a third. The zero liquid discharge system at the facility in Atwater is the fifth to be installed by U.S. Waters Services of St. Michael. It will now require 2 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of ethanol rather than the 2.9 gallons required previously.
