D3MAX ready to design first commercial plant

Following successful pilot testing of its corn fibre-to-ethanol process, D3MAX is ready to move to the next stage of commercial development: the design of a full-scale plant at Ace Ethanol in Stanley, Wisconsin.

Ace Ethanol set specific performance goals for the D3MAX pilot testing.

“The D3MAX pilot process was able to meet or exceed our performance goals,” says Neal Kemmet, president and general manager at Ace Ethanol.

“Based upon the pilot testing, we believe D3MAX has the potential to significantly improve our companies’ financial performance. We are in the process of finalizing pilot testing and will be working to ensure that we can seamlessly integrate the technology to our existing process. Once we have all the pieces in place the final decision on installation will be made by our board of directors and the Ace membership.”

D3MAX describes the project at Ace Ethanol as a major milestone on the path commercialisation.

“We are extremely pleased with the pilot test results and are very happy to begin the design of the first commercial D3MAX plant,” says Mark Yancey, Chief Technology Officer at D3MAX. “We hope to have the first D3MAX plant under construction in the first quarter of 2018.”

D3MAX has signed a contract with AdvanceBio Systems for a full-scale D3MAX design integrated with the Ace Ethanol plant. Upon completion of the commercial design, Ace Ethanol’s board will decide whether to install the process at the plant.
