Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy to install Whitefox ICE membrane technology

In Iowa, Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy LLC and Whitefox Technologies have reached an agreement to install a Whitefox ICE advanced membrane dehydration system at the SIRE plant in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This will be Whitefox’s eighth installation in the U.S. and its second installation in Iowa, the leading ethanol producing state. The first ICE installation in Iowa was at Pine Lake Corn Processors in Steamboat Rock.

Brian Cahill, president and CEO of SIRE, said, “All of us at SIRE are committed to be a part of the growing ethanol industry that supports the local corn farmers and community, and to provide value to our shareholders. Our plant team works continuously to improve process efficiencies at our plant in order to produce increasingly environmentally-friendly fuel. Working in collaboration with Whitefox and its team of engineers will give us a competitive edge, and at the same time increase our production rate and create more value for our local community.”
