Advanced Oil Separation System

Tricanter® Oil Separation SystemSkid-mounted Tricanter®centrifuge maximizesrecovery effi ciency ofICM’s oil extraction systemICM is hard at work turning today’s innovations into tomorrow’s common practices.We’ve developed a menu of nearly three dozen products and services tailored specifi cally for the ethanol industry — including products like our non-food grade oil recovery skid that increase your plant’s bottom line, create a value-added co-product stream, and provide your operations a competitive advantage.Proven Performance, Increases in Gross Margin up to $7.6 MM/yearICM’s oil extraction technology utilizing Tricanter® centrifuges has proven to be what we believe is the most superior oil recovery system on the market. An average 110 MGY ICM-designed plant with no current oil extraction system could expect to add more than $7.6 million to their gross margin annually after installation of an ICM Tricanter® Oil Separation System.*The ICM AdvantageCompare the actual performance and up time of the ICM oil extraction system to othersystems on the market, then calculate the difference to your bottom lineWhen markets are favorable and margins are up, it’s a smart move for ethanol producers to invest in upgrades like oil extraction equipment that will create new product streams to help provide a layer of insulation against future market downturns.With current market prices, the decision really isn’t whether to invest in oil extraction, it is choosing which oil extraction technology is right for your plant.Criteria such as initial purchase price, guaranteed yield, ease of operation, and uptime are key factors in fi guring true return on investment. ICM is confi dent that once you have considered each aspect, you will agree that our system is the best available. Key design differences:• Simple to clean, with no disassembly necessary• Easy to maintain, with experienced 24/7 help only a phone call away• This puts our yield at about double what we believe other technologies on the market are achieving.• Rapid Return on InvestmentAt $0.45 per pound oil price, the advantage offered by ICM’s system is signifi cant when compared to other units. The difference between our proven performance and other technology available today can be as much as:$1.2 million/year MORE than other technology for a 50MMGY plant*$2.3 million/year MORE than other technology for a 110MMGY plant*Impressive Yields & Attractive MarketsDepending on your proximity to end users, the extracted oil can be marketed as either a feed additive or a biodiesel feedstock.**Reduced solid debris and decreased free fatty acid (FFA) content make the oil from ICM’s system anideal product for biodiesel production — earning you a premium price over other forms of yellow grease in some markets. DDGS value and marketability remains unchanged with corn oil extraction. Selling non-food-grade corn oil as a separate, higher-value product still allows a remaining fat content in DDGS above 8.5% and provides a pro-fat content in excess of 35%.***© 2011 ICM, Inc.

Updated 6/23/2011 * Assumes non-food-grade corn oil market of $0.45 per lb., associated opportunity and operational costs of $0.09 per lb., and ICM oil extraction system recovery rate of 0.5 lb/bushel.** Since the oil is recovered from the back end of the process, it’s not viable as a food-grade commodity without further processing.CAPABILITYTHAT WORKS FOR YOU.Using our know-how to improve processes and efficiencies across the entire renewable energy sector.Add Revenue Without Adding StaffThe design, sized to match your production rate, can be monitored with your plant’s DCS system, requiringno additions to existing staff. After installation, we will make sure your employees are well-prepared forsafe and effi cient operation during a one-week commissioning and training period.Your operations and maintenance teams will appreciate the integrated CIP systems and minimal routinemaintenance utilized for the 95%+ availability of our system.Plug & PlayICM’s corn oil recovery system utilizes a skid-mounted Tricanter® centrifuge, and contains all thenecessary piping, electrical components, and controls for quick and easy installation. This modular systemis optimized for ICM-engineered plants and can be modifi ed to function as a stand-alone system in plantsdesigned with other technologies.Standard package includes installed equipment skid featuring a Tricanter® centrifuge, indoor storage tank/tanks, and truck load out. Other options & services available for additional fees include:• Outdoor Storage Tank/Tanks & Tank Farm w/ Containment• Rail Load Out• Environmental PermittingTricanter® Oil Separation System – Skid Flow Diagram OverviewICM's system separates corn oil from the post-fermentation syrup stream as it leaves the evaporators. The corn oil is routed to storage tanks, and the remaining concentrated syrup is routed to your plant’s existing syrup tank. Utilizing Flottweg’s differentiated Tricanter® centrifuge, the ICM oil extraction process offers:• Improved Corn Oil Yield • Increased Operation Time• Ability to Select Different Oil Product Standards• Operator & Maintenance-Friendly Equipment Flexible Financing Options Available *** Assumes average-quality corn.Contact us for pricing andfi nancing optionsLearn more about ICM’s Oil Recoverytechnology and other products and services ICM offers to meet your plant’s needsCall Brock Beach, our Oil Separation Solutions Manager, today.316.977.6211© 2011 ICM, Inc.
