Our ethanol recycling facility provides 100% recycling through our efficient and proven processes.

Consumer Packaged Goods are processed through our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). The MRF segregates, processes and recycles all packaging materials.  Glass is processed directly into cullet while aluminum, plastic, steel, and cardboard are processed and recycled.

Liquids and bulk streams are received into the Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP).

  • Ethanol is stripped from water through distillation into 190 proof ethanol
  • 190 proof ethanol is dried in the molecular sieve into anhydrous fuel grade ethanol
  • Distillation bottoms are then recycled into facility makeup water in our Mechanical Vapor Recompression Evaporator
  • Makeup water is used in our cooling towers to cool the ethanol processes
  • Finished ethanol is assigned RINS numbers and transported to gasoline terminals for blending
