Flint Hills Resources is expanding the feed production capabilities of its Fairmont, Nebraska ethanol plant.

The company will install new technology to produce a high-protein feed ingredient from a portion of the plant’s distillers grains. The product will be used mainly in the pet food, poultry and aquaculture industries.

The technology, called maximized stillage co-products, was developed specifically for the dry mill ethanol industry. Flint Hills says the Fairmont plant will be just the fourth in the world to use the technology.

Construction is set to be completed in the spring of 2018.

The Fairmont plant produces 120 million gallons of ethanol and 310,000 tons of distillers grain a year. It is one of seven ethanol plants owned by Flint Hills.
