Penford Products Nears Completion of Iowa Fuel Ethanol Plant

SUGAR LAND--May 2, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Penford Products Company (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), a subsidiary of  Penford Corporation (NASDAQ:PENX) , is nearing completion of an ethanol plant addition at its corn-milling and industrial-corn-starches plant in Cedar Rapids.

 Construction on the estimated $42 million plant began in November 2006. The plant is going through the commissioning process and is expected to be fully operational during the month of May. The plant will produce 45 million gallons of ethanol annually but reduce the amount of starch generated at the plant.

The plant is situated within the operation's existing boundaries on the north end of the property and utilizes Vogelbusch (Katy, Texas) licensed ethanol process technology.

Penford decided to diversify into the ethanol market ever since the company's core products for starch that went into the paper market began to decline. The site had good corn handling infrastructure in place with grain handling and separating, rail transportation and existing utilities and allowed the company to enter the ethanol market with a plant that cost 30% less than the new grassroot plants being built in the State.

Cargill, Inc.

VOGELBUSCH USA provided the process technology for a 1,190,000 liters/day corn hydrolysate-to-ethanol facility in Blair, Nebraska (USA). The plant is under construction and will be put into operation mid of  2008.

Lantmännen Agroetanol AB

of Sweden assigned VOGELBUSCH with the basic engineering of the distillation and dehydration for their new bioethanol plant in Norrköping. 
Agroetanol opted for Vogelbusch’s MULTIPRESSURE© distillation/rectification and dehydration system because it is the most energy efficient process on the market. It minimises the use of fossil fuel and therefore reduces CO2 emissions.
The plant is under construction and will start up in midsummer 2008. The facility will process wheat for the most part, and will contribute some 470.000 litres of bioethanol per day to Sweden’s ambitious efforts to make the country independent of oil by 2020.
