May 6, 2007 – The Board of Directors of Cereal Process Technologies, LLC (CPT) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Will Duensing as the new President of CPT with the responsibility of overseeing Corn Dry Fractionation operations for the Ethanol industry. Mr. Duensing brings unparralleled expertise in corn milling to build upon CPT's already strong position in pre-fractionation.
Mr. Duensing arrives from Milling Division of Bunge North America where he was the Director of Quality Assurance and Technical Services. Previously, he was Eastern Region Sales Manager for Lauhoff Grain Company (a subsidary of Bunge Corporation, now Bunge Milling). Prior to joining Bunge in 1979, he was Senior Research Engineer with Johns-Mansville Corporation, working in the field of beverage filtration and stabilization.

Mr. Duensing earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Engineering at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL. He is a member of the Master Brewers Association of the Americas (District Milwaukee), the American Association of Cereal Chemists (where he serves on the Exhibitors Advisory Committee), the Institute of Food Technologists, and the Snack Food Association (where he serves on the Corn Technology Committee). He also serves on the Mycotoxin, Biopharm, Regulatory and Allergen (as chair) Working Groups of the North American Millers’ Association Technical Committee, and he is the past chairman of the Technical Committee. Mr. Duensing co-authored the “Adjuncts” chapter in the Third Edition of The Practical Brewer, and he was the primary author of the “Corn Dry Milling: Processes, Products and Applications” chapter of the Second Edition of Corn: Chemistry and Technology. He also lectures at a number of university, industry and association sponsored courses and seminars on the subject of corn quality and corn dry milling.

Cereal Process Technologies offers a unique patented technology that separates the critical components in corn to create a more concentrated starch stream for more profitable ethanol production, significantly increasing the ethanol yields and the plant’s return on investment. The CPT fractionation technology is a proven process that is currently being utilized in three full-scale industrial applications. The first full-scale operation integrated with an ethanol plant is under construction in Wisconsin and additional contracts with ethanol plants are currently being negotiated.

The CPT fractionation process creates higher value co-products while simultaneously reducing ethanol production costs. As a result of the process, higher protein DDGS will enable the ethanol facility to target the broader poultry and swine markets. The corn germ will be extracted to produce a high quality feedstock for biodiesel or edible uses. The bran will be used as a feed ingredient or for biomass energy to fuel the ethanol operation.
