Corn oil recovery product line

 

Hydrocarbon Engineering,

US Water has launched the first in what will be a series of products developed for the biofuels industry specific to corn oil recovery. COR™ NS is a new, non-sorbitol based product line developed by US Water’s Ethanol Process Technologies team to aid in the extraction of corn oil as a coproduct for biofuels plants.

Dennis Pasko, Vice President of Ethanol Process Technologies Team, US Water, ‘initial trials have been promising. While results vary due to each plant’s unique operating dynamics, we have been seeing similar dosage and performance when compared to corn oil products currently available in the market at a price point that’s competitive with industry leading offerings.’

The first COR NS product is available for use immediately with development and inclusion of additional products to the COR NS line in the coming months.

US Water seeks to identify and eliminate the root cause of problems, finding optimal solutions for each customer’s individual water treatment needs based on the best combination of chemistry, equipment, engineering, and technical services.
