Reg Ankrom's Biography

Reg Ankrom is director of Sales and Marketing for Cereal Process Technologies of Overland Park, KS, whose patented fractionation technology serves the world’s largest corn dry mill at Renew Energy's 130-million-gallon ethanol plant at Jefferson, WI.

Reg joined CPT last year after heading EnNova LLC, a firm he established in 2005 to help groups develop ethanol projects.

Previously, he had served in management for AmerenCIPS, an electric and natural gas utility serving Illinois customers.

He retired after 22 years with the company.

As CPT's director of Sales and Marketing, Reg helped design his company’s new MarketFlex initiative. MarketFlex leverages the flexibility in CPT’s patented precision milling to enable ethanol plant managers to protect margins by "dialing in" fractionation streams to serve the most profitable markets available at the time.

Desired streams can be achieved in minutes—without additional capital or operating cost and with no loss in production time.

Reg earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Illinois College in Jacksonville,IL, and the University of Kansas, Lawrence.
