Re: How to Blend Your Own Fuel, and Why You Should
The fractionation system designed by Applied Milling Systems will separate the corn into bran (combusted as an energy source to save the ethanol plant an estimated 40 percent of its natural gas costs), germ, and endosperm (starch for ethanol) as well as other food products like corn meal. ( Word on the street is Frito Lay will buy corn meal from "food grade" ethanol plants. )
