Commercial technologies that will help put ethanol producers on the leading edge of efficiency and profitability are the focus of BIOFUELS JOURNAL'S Commercial Ethanol Technology and Research Workshop, Oct. 27-28, in St. Joseph, MO.
Presentations will focus on how to improve an ethanol plant's bottom line with the newest technologies available, such as turning thin stillage into biogas to displace natural gas, advanced dryer technologies, and fractionation technologies.
This year's event features a tour of LifeLine Foods corn fractionation ethanol production plant.
The conference will also include some of the latest advances in research for advanced biofuels and cellulosic ethanol.
