干蒸馏器谷物 (DDG) 和 Dry Distillers Grains Solubles (DDGS) 是乙醇生产过程中营养丰富的副产品. 两者都是畜牧业的宝贵食物来源, 特别是肉牛. Both have been used as supplemental feed for several decades. They are becoming a more prominent commodity for a couple of reasons –
As ethanol production increases, more and more DDG and DDGS are becoming available. For farmers, making it economical to use as a supplement with whole grains such as corn for feed.
It is a higher source of protein for cattle than raw-material counterparts. 以玉米为例, 三分之二的生玉米是由淀粉制成的. It is a perfect source for the dry fermentation process that eventually produces ethanol. The co-product also has a relatively high-fat content, 非常适合自然地加入牛群, 没有类固醇.
所以, 这对双方都是双赢的局面. As the supply of DDG and DDGS increases, 单价可能会下降，因为来自各种蒸馏源的竞争加剧. 好消息是ST设备 & 技术 (STET) is helping producers reap better profits from the same source material. By extracting more of the valuable protein material away from the fiber content by using a revolutionary and proprietary 摩擦静电分离工艺.
这个过程的好处并不停止. 生产高档 DDGS 产品不需要水或化学品. That means no fresh water source is necessary and no holding ponds are needed to deactivate harmful chemicals. 另外, STET 分离器可以以高速率连续运行 (大约 15 每小时输入吨数), 同时在这个过程中消耗的能量很少. 所以, 它环保, 一个马的一个呵呵. There are no additional overhead costs needed to produce a premium product and more of it from your current feed streams.
If you’re in the ethanol-producing industry, 给自己一个竞争优势. 联系人 ST 设备 & Technology and let’s discuss how you can put yourself at the head of the herd with livestock platforms.
