The Best Process. For the Best Separation

• History of CPT

Why Select CPT?

Let’s go right to the answer: CPT’s fractionation technology has been proven in commercial operation at Valero’s 130-million gallon ethanol plant at Jefferson, Wisconsin. It’s the largest corn dry milling plant in the world. Its doing what Valero wants it to do: lower cost production and higher value products.

Consider some important facts:

• Ethanol wants starch only. CPT’s precision milling technology captures the highest level of available starch in the corn kernel – and keeps most of the nonfermentables out.
• The starch stream into the ethanol plant is consistent, leading to important plant predictability and efficiency.
• The purer starch stream, which we call Degermed Debranned Corn (DDC), means a less viscous slurry. That means fewer incidents of equipment plugging and downtime. More importantly, it means more of your plant’s capacity is available for making ethanol. And more of it – nearly 20 percent more.
• The kernel’s corn oil-rich germ is removed in the first milling step of CPT’s patented process. Kept intact, the germ is ready for high- and low-tier markets: corn oil extraction and refining for human consumption or for the biofuels market.
• Dry fractionation results in a dry bran stream. With bran’s capacity to absorb four times its weight in water, that’s most important because costly drying is avoided.
• There’s new flexibility in the use and marketing of co- products. Bran, for example, can be used in the feed, fuel and consumer energy markets. Or mixed with ethanol’s syrup byproduct, it can be used as an animal feed
• De-oiled germ, the sac from which corn oil has been extracted, can be recaptured and, mixed with bran or bran and syrup, create a hominy feed.
• Formerly called DDGs, CPT’s stillage co-product is a higher quality meal. Less bran and germ mean higher protein: 45 percent crude protein and 55 percent high by-pass protein. The higher protein levels reduce the need for supplemental protein sources in animal feed rations.
• Less fiber opens CPT meal to markets in monogastric animals like swine, poultry, fish and pets.

CPT Fully Guarantees Its System Performance

Cereal Process Technologies stands behind its process’s performance with the best guarantees for:

• Corn throughput.
• Starch yield of at least 91 percent of incoming whole corn. (Commercial operation is proving 95 percent of available starch.)
• Oil yield of at least 65 percent of the crude fat of the incoming whole corn. (Commercial operation is proving approximately 72 percent in the germ stream.)
• Endosperm (DDC) yield of at least 80 percent of the mass of incoming whole corn.

Understand Guarantees

It’s important to be informed about the meaning of guarantees. Some companies will guarantee one stream at the expense of another. While less precise milling may produce an endosperm yield of 95 percent, for example, it may do so at the expense of germ yields.

CPT’s guarantees are for all fractioned streams: high yields are achieved and guaranteed for each stream simultaneously.
