Ergon BioFuels brings Vicksburg ethanol plant back online

In Mississippi, Ergon BioFuels LLC, (EBF) announced its ethanol plant in Vicksburg is back to full operation following a brief suspension in services to facilitate renovations and upgrades. The plant was originally established in 2007. On December 31, 2013, the facility became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ergon BioSciences, Inc., and was rebranded as Ergon Biofuels. The installation of processing upgrades has led to increased ethanol yields and improved dried distillers’ grain. Implementation of new technology, set for completion at the end of summer 2015, will allow for the production of corn oil.
