Edeniq, a biomaterials and
sustainable fuels company, today announced that California ethanol producer,
Pacific Ethanol, Stockton LLC ("Pacific Ethanol"), has entered into an
agreement to install Edeniq technology at the company's Stockton, California
ethanol plant. Pacific Ethanol will install Edeniq's proprietary Cellunators™
to boost ethanol yields, and will also deploy Edeniq's patented OilPlus™ corn
oil extraction process to increase corn oil recovery.
Edeniq's Cellunator™ technology mills corn and other plant materials into
'right-sized' particles of feedstock that can be more efficiently converted
into the plant sugars needed to produce biofuels. Beginning this quarter,
Edeniq will install Cellunators™ at the Pacific Ethanol plant in Stockton,
California. In addition, Edeniq will deploy OilPlus™ technology at the
Stockton plant. OilPlus™ combines thermal, mechanical, and chemical
treatments to improve the recovery of corn oil, a valuable co-product that can
be used for feed and other bio-industrial products.
With four ethanol plants in the Western United States including California,
Oregon and Idaho, Pacific Ethanol's facilities have the combined ethanol
production capacity of 200 million gallons per year. The Stockton,
California plant was built in 2008 and has the capacity to produce 60 million
gallons per year. Edeniq's technology is expected to increase the facility's
ethanol yields by 2-4%.
