The São Martinho plant utilizes FQT’s proprietary corn ethanol technologies, from corn receiving to DDGS drying. FQT integrated its Low Energy Distillation (LED)™ system and a Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) system to achieve one of the lowest steam usage rates in the bioethanol industry while using low pressure steam from the São Martinho cogeneration turbines. The unit also utilizes FQT’s patented Selective Grind Technology™, Fiber ByPass™, and BOS Oil System™ which has allowed São Martinho to achieve ethanol and distillers corn oil yields among the highest in the industry.
