Element shifts focus to high-protein animal feed Element LLC in Colwich, Kansas, has been refocused to produce ANDVantage 50Y, a yeast-enriched 50% protein animal feed. The process utilizes three proprietary technologies from ICM: patented Selective Milling Technology, patented Fiber Separation Technology Next Gen and patentpending Thin Stillage Solids Separation System. Element, a joint venture between ICM Inc. and The Andersons Inc., became fully operational in 2019 and oriented its pro-
duction to ANDVtantage 50Y after an operational pause in 2020. The feed, which will be marketed by The Andersons, has both higher protein and lower fiber than traditional ethanol coproducts. “In addition to producing a high-quality combination of corn and yeast proteins, these processes deliver higher efficiencies and operational cost savings throughout the production process,” said ICM President Chris Mitchell.
FHR producing NexPro coproduct at second plant Flint Hills Resources is now producing and delivering its trademarked NexPro protein ingredient from its Shell Rock, Iowa, ethanol plant. The company installed Maximized Stillage Co-Products technology at the 125 MMgy plant earlier this year, making it the second FHR plant to install MSC under license from Fluid Quip Technologies. NexPro protein ingredient will be used in a variety of animal feed rations globally.
The product is made by extracting protein from an ethanol plant’s whole stillage. The process yields not only a 50% high-protein feed ingredient with premium market value, but also residual distillers grains and enhanced levels of distillers corn oil. NexPro will be sold locally, nationally, and internationally, competing against corn gluten meal, soy, corn protein concentrates and fishmeal.
