The technology will make it possible for ethanol producers to extract oil from distillers dry grain, a co-product of the ethanol-making process.
Using the new technology will allow processors to turn corn oil into biodiesel, said Matt Janes, vice president of technology at VeraSun Energy in Brookings, S.D.
Janes said the new technology gives ethanol plants another product to sell and improves the handling characteristics of distillers dry grain, which is used mostly as a high-protein livestock feed.
VeraSun will make the new technology available to other ethanol producers at no cost and buy the oil that is extracted from the distillers dry grain, Janes said.
