The Modular High Value (MHV) Corn Ethanol bio-refining system is an improved process for the production of ethanol co-products from corn- improving corn ethanol profitability by increasing revenues, minimizing energy usage, and decreasing operational costs.

MHV Process Technologies: The MHV system integrates cutting edge separation, fermentation, and conversion technologies to improve the economic and environmental margins of corn ethanol production.

• High Value Co-Products (fuels, feeds, energy)
• Low Energy Use and Air Emissions
• Use of Modular Equipment & Designs
• Process and Product Versatility
• Improved Profitability & Decreased Risk

Core Technologies: Through the implementation of sequential separations, the production of a wide array of fermentation products and technologies is realized and process flexibility /control are improved. Core technologies that differentiate the MHV bio-refining system from standard corn ethanol facilities, include:

• Dry Fractionation Corn Milling System
• Mash Spent Grain / Soluble Separation
• High Speed / Low Effluent Fermentation
• Low Energy Distillation System

Additional MHV Technologies: The MHV system is highly versatile in the process design, application, and product specification. Additional process modules, technologies, and systems can be designed into the bio-refinery or added at a later date:

• Combustion / Co-Gen of Corn Fiber
• Corn Fiber Conversion to Cellulosic Ethanol
• Syrup Anaerobic Digestion to Methane
• Germ Processing to Corn Oil & Germ Meal
• Crude Corn Oil Processing to Biodiesel

MHV & Dry Grind Comparison: Nearly all ethanol produced in the US is from corn processed in dry-grind facilities. In the dry-grind process, whole corn kernels are ground and processed to produce ethanol, all non-converted materials (oil, protein, bran) are collected, mixed, and sold as a low value cattle feed, dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS).
