We’ve managed new plant construction and expansion around the world, and will oversee full turn-key projects in the field. Fluid Quip Technologies offers support for capital projects such as fermenter additions and mole sieve expansions, and can also engineer and install new product technologies.

The Overdrive™ System from Fluid Quip Technologies is shown to increase oil production by 5% or more.

A revolutionary corn oil pre-treatment system that boosts the performance of existing distillers corn oil separation systems, creating the optimal conditions for maximizing oil yield.

You can change the result without changing the system.

• Boost gain: Increase oil yield 5% or more.
• Modular skid: Fast installation and easy maintenance.
• Designed for full automated control.
• Redundant design to ensure uptime and keep production flowing.

The technology behind the scenes.

Overdrive’s proprietary process gently conditions the syrup for optimal performance to amplify oil recovery. Smart, redundant design ensures uptime to keep production flowing.

What will 5% more oil mean to your bottom line?

Today can be the day you find out. Can you afford to wait?

Demonstrated performance through years of testing in our protein systems, this technology encompasses a multi-stage fiber washing with thin stillage clarification. A series of washing and clarification steps provide additional opportunities for the corn oil to be separated from the fiber for collection by the plant’s existing oil recovery system. Centrate from the fiber washing is sent to a final separation step to partition free oil from residual solids, producing an evaporator feed high in oil and low in suspended solids.

Because the DCO Technology™ system uses a fraction of the MSC™ patented protein separation technology, it is substantially less expensive. DCO Technology is housed within a new process building, constructed independent of the existing plant. This new building can be easily expanded to house the full MSC system when needed. A smaller footprint and streamlined equipment process means a relatively short construction timeline; as a result, biofuels facilities can quickly take advantage of rising oil values.

DCO Technology has many stand-alone benefits today, and can be a significant step toward the MSC protein system tomorrow.

Blend corn with sugarcane as an ethanol feedstock
Integrate various FQT technologies for additive results, including SGT milling, BOS corn oil recovery, and FBP fiber separation. The WFS Flex Plant™ version produces a corn-based slurry stream without fiber, providing high yields of ethanol and co-products, and can blend into the existing sugarcane mill to utilize existing fermentation, distillation and evaporation. A facility can operate at full production capacity year-round.

WFS Flex Plant™: Patent Pending

LOW ATR AND RAINY DAYS WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM

As the standard FQT process removes corn fiber prior to fermentation, we have developed a solution that allows corn sugars to be fermented in exactly the same way as sugarcane sugars, optimizing the process on rainy days and days of low ATR.

We have adapted our process so that the sugarcane mill does not have to adapt. This will allow the plant to process 100% ethanol, which will significantly improve its profitability.

How it works

FQT technologies are additive, so they can be combined in varying orders and applications to get the exact milling/separation process your plant needs. This mix of standard yet customizable configurations reduces capital expenditures, eliminates frustrations, and won’t leave your investments stranded.

1. SGT™ Selective Grind Technology

FQT has SGT, a selective grinding patented system, in which the wet grinding is made in the liquefaction. This mill liberates more starch so it can be converted into sugars.

The plants that operate with this system achieve higher ethanol yields (from ~3 to 5%), higher oil yields, besides reducing the enzyme consumption. In South America the corn is harder, therefore the SGT yield in that region can bump the yields to ~7% more, which will be in a range of ~430 to 460 liters hydrous ethanol per ton of corn at 15% moisture.

2. FBP™ Fiber Bi-Pass System

FQT has developed the FBP to remove the corn fiber before fermentation. This way, the sugarcane mills can use the existing fermentation, distillation, and evaporation systems.

The corn fiber is sold for animal nutrition, similar to corn gluten meal.

3. BOS™ Brix Oil Separation

FQT has developed BOS for oil recuperation from liquefaction. This low FFA oil can be destined to animal nutrition or chemical uses. The total oil yield (front-end + back-end) on FQT process can exceed the ~18kg/ton.

4. MSC™ MAXIMIZED STILLAGE CO-PRODUCTS

The MSC system created by FQT to produce protein after fermentation. Is a 50% purity protein product and is negotiated as a protein of high value in the corn gluten and brewer’s yeast market.
