Alfa Laval's New Decanter Rental Program
In a significant move to support ethanol producers, Alfa Laval has rolled out an innovative decanter rental program aimed at providing both operational flexibility and improved oil recovery. This program is particularly ideal for those in the ethanol production sector, allowing them to utilize the advanced Prodec Oil Plus Decanter in their manufacturing facilities for an introductory period of six months, all at a minimal rental cost. This initiative is designed to empower ethanol producers to explore new possibilities in oil extraction and production efficiency.
The Prodec Oil Plus Decanter is engineered to elevate the standard method of oil extraction from ethanol production. It boasts a patented design that enhances the yield of Distillers Corn Oil (DCO) by an impressive margin of 20% to 50%. Moreover, the decanter achieves an impressive oil purity of 99%, making it a game-changing tool in the industry. Given the low capital investment required for implementing this technology, it sets a benchmark for cost-efficiency without sacrificing performance.
A notable feature of the rental program is its flexibility: after 30 days of use, if the decanter does not meet the producer’s expectations or enhance oil quality, it can be returned at no additional cost. This aspect significantly reduces risk for producers who may be hesitant about committing to new technology.
In response to the launch, Brandon Soine, the Director of Operations at DENCO II, shared some insights about the impact of this partnership with Alfa Laval. He stated,
“We’ve sharpened our sustainability profile with this partnership. Alfa Laval’s technology helps us meet the growing demand for biofuel feedstocks in an increasingly competitive market.” This testimonial reflects the broader positive impact that the program can have on the sustainability efforts within the biofuel industry.
Ethanol producers looking to improve their operations and capitalize on the full potential of DCO extraction are encouraged to reach out to Alfa Laval's sales team. This rental program stands as an attractive opportunity to upgrade technological capabilities in pursuit of greater efficiency.
