SGT™ Selective Grind Technology
Up to 3.0% increase in ethanol yield. Up to 22% increase in oil yield. Currently utilized in >2 billion gallons of annual production, globally. FQT paddle screens utilize a proprietary back-flush screen cleaning system, which can reduce labor. SGT reduces dough balling from slurry to achieve better corn flour water mixing, resulting in improved enzymatic activity.
The SGT system is installed in the mash cook process to expose more starch conversion to ethanol and to shear open the germ, releasing more renewable corn oil. This system reduces starch in dried distillers grains, reducing dryer loading while also increasing DDGS ProFat levels, depending on plant conditions. This allows for more oil to be recovered while maintaining a DDGS protein specification.
