Fluid Quip Technologies achieves record distillers corn oil yields at 20% higher

In Iowa, Fluid Quip Technologies (FQT) announced that its patented Distillers Corn Oil (DCO) Technology is achieving record distillers corn oil yields for Ace Ethanol in Stanley, Wisconsin, with increases of over 20% above historical rates.

DCO Technology™ mechanically separates more oil from whole stillage into the thin stillage stream and then clarifies the stream to reduce fine solids going to evaporation and oil recovery systems. The mechanical separation can reduce the need for additional chemicals or enzymes, helping to lower operational expenses, even while achieving higher distillers corn oil yields.

DCO Technology™ is integrated into FQT’s patented Maximized Stillage Co-products™ (MSC™) protein systems, making the technology a building block to adding MSC and higher-value protein production in the future.
