ICM to supply FS with new dry-mill grain ethanol production facility in Mato Grosso

In Brazil, ICM, Inc. has signed a Professional Services and Equipment Purchase Agreement with FS Indústria de Etanol S.A. to design and supply a new greenfield dry-mill grain ethanol production facility near Campo Novo do Parecis, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

The plant, modeled after FS’s Primavera facility but with a larger nameplate capacity, will produce 540 million liters annually. Once complete, it will be FS’s fourth greenfield ethanol plant in Mato Grosso. The facility is expected to be completed in December 2026.

The Campo Novo do Parecis plant is expected to generate approximately 600 direct jobs and 8,000 indirect jobs during construction, creating a major economic boost for the region. In addition, it will generate approximately 350,000 metric tons of coproduct for animal nutrition (DDGS), 69,000 metric tons of corn oil, and 56,000 MWh of electricity per year, further supporting local agriculture and the regional economy.

ICM will provide its proprietary Base Tricanter System™ for corn oil recovery, Selective Milling Technology™ for optimized starch conversion, and Fiber Separation Technology™ for separating fiber from the process stream to increase ethanol yield and improve feed product value. These technologies will be delivered along with engineering, process design, startup services, and equipment.
