The Value Proposition
Adding Value to Your Feedstock Purchase

Corn is an ethanol plant’s largest operating cost. Fractionation is a technique that separates the three main components of the corn kernel -- endosperm, germ and bran -- to get more return on that expense. Fractionation provides more efficient and economical ethanol production and a way to garner more value from the feedstock the ethanol producer has paid for.

CPT uses a patented dry milling process to separate the kernel’s parts before endo- sperm, or the fermentable starch, is introduced into the fermenter. And it keeps the nonfermentable germ and bran for new markets and new profits.

CPT’s corn dry-milling technology is the most efficient in the industry:

• Built in modules, CPT’s system is sized to your needs and your budget.
• At half the horsepower, it costs a lot less to operate.
• The CPT fractionation system can be started or shut down in less than five minutes.
• Modules can run as little as five bushels to as much as 800 bushels of corn per hour.
• The CPT system can run at a rate to match the ethanol plant’s production.
• CPT’s small footprint allows it to easily fit in existing and new ethanol plants.
• With virtually no thermal requirement, there’s savings in energy costs, too.
• With fewer solids, ethanol stillage now yields meal with higher protein for higher-end markets.
• The corn germ and bran fractions now add to profits instead of costs.

Fractionation means lower production costs for ethanol and higher product value per bushel of corn.
