David Cramer, United Ethanol President and CEO, says: “Many U.S. ethanol plants are increasing production capacity to capitalize on market opportunities. The Whitefox system allows us to expand and at the same time reduce natural gas, power and cooling water usage. This helps us to achieve our overall mission of being a low-cost producer of fuel ethanol, enabling United Ethanol to maximize the returns for our shareholders while providing economic benefits to our local Wisconsin communities.”
Chad Campbell, United Ethanol COO, quickly understood the benefits of Whitefox ICE™ after seeing a similar installation at Pine Lake Corn Processors in Iowa: “We are looking forward to the positive impact we expect to see from the beer column through to dehydration, as removing the regen stream will help to eliminate our current bottlenecks and stabilize operations. We are always keen to introduce technology improvements and ensure we are as efficient as we can be.”
Paul Kamp, Whitefox VP of Business Development North America, added: “A Whitefox ICE™installation is a non-disruptive, integrated bolt-on solution that dehydrates the recycle streams from the molecular sieves to finished, in-spec fuel ethanol product. We are very pleased to be working with United Ethanol and look forward to delivering a fourth Whitefox ICE™ installation in the U.S. in 2018.”
Gillian Harrison, CEO of Whitefox says: “I was struck by the visionary approach of United Ethanol to bring the local agri-business community together through ethanol production. United Ethanol is an excellent example of how the U.S. ethanol industry benefits US consumers by producing a high-quality, low cost fuel and helps to support rural America. We are very happy to be working together with Mr. Cramer and his team.”
