(Fluid Quip Process Technologies/Ethanol Producer Magazine) SJC Bioenergia, a joint venture between Cargill and Group USJ, has purchased Fluid Quip Process Technology’s systems to integrate corn ethanol production at its sugar-cane ethanol facility located in Quirinopolis, Brazil.

SJC Bioenergia will utilize FQPT’s SGT milling, BOS front-end corn oil, Fiber Separation, and MSC Protein Recovery technologies. The combined patented and patent-pending systems produces a corn based starch slurry stream which gives high yields of ethanol and coproducts while allowing the sugar cane mill to utilize existing fermentation, distillation, and evaporation.

The SJC system will be the first colocation (cane and corn) to remove corn fiber before fermentation making the switch over from cane to corn seamless throughout the crop year.
