Pine Lake Corn Processors first ethanol plant in Iowa to install Whitefox’s ICE

In Iowa, Pine Lake Corn Processors has become the first ethanol plant in Iowa to install Whitefox’s Integrated Cartridge Efficiency (ICE) membrane solution to increase production capacity and improve overall plant efficiency. Pine Lake, located at Steamboat Rock, Iowa, operates at 35 MMgy dry mill ethanol plant. Whitefox’s bolt-on ICE solution gives the plant an additional 10 percent ethanol capacity by removing process bottlenecks.

After two months of operating the system, Pine Lake has decided to expand its Whitefox ICE unit by a third. The modularity of a Whitefox ICE solution makes this straight forward, and the additional expansion is expected to come on line in the second half of 2017.
