Adding Cellulosic Ethanol (ACE) Quad County Corn Processors IRFA Summit January 28, 2014 What is Adding Cellulosic Ethanol (ACE)? ACE gets more out of the kernel of corn you purchase/process ACE bolts on to existing Dry Grind ethanol plants ACE adds significant income to corn processing Quad County Corn Processors will complete its full scale facility in April, 2014 Existing Dry Grind plants can provide significant cellulosic fuel for the RFS Plans are being finalized to commercialize the patented process ACE Process Schematic Beer from Beerwell 190 Proof to Mole Sieves Beer Stripper Rectifier Whole Stillage Distillation Side Stripper 2nd Whole Stillage Side Stripper Bottoms to Slurry Whole Stillage PreTreatment Whole Stillage Fermentation Centrifuge Thin Stillage to Slurry Thin Stillage Evaporators Drying Syrup Wetcake Dry Storage Evap Condensate to Slurry Process yield changes/bu. of corn Additional 0.16(6%) gal of cellulosic ethanol Additional 1.1#(220%) of corn oil Decreased feed pounds by 15% Bolt on ACE technology Facility continues to operate throughout construction Tie-ins to utilities take place during your planned shut-down Corn Kernel Fiber industry implications Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin Capable of generating 2 Billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol EPA proposed rule clarification classifies as Ag Residue under RFS rules When EPA proposed rule is final, ethanol will qualify for D3 RIN ACE implementation Quad County Corn Processors facility completion – April 2014 Quad County Corn Processors start-up – May 2014 Anticipate maximizing starch in fermentation after start-up Higher alcohol levels will reduce energy Additional capacity in base plant Commercialization strategy is in final stages Anticipate facility tours to be available summer/fall 2014 Quad County Corn Processors Delayne Johnson CEO 6059 159th St Galva, Iowa 51020 712-282-4305 Ext 102 [email protected]
