`Novel Chemistry Increases Corn Oil Yield and Improves Oil
`Quality in Tricanter* System
`Ashland™ PTV M-5309 corn oil extraction aid
`
`Customer Overview:
`• Segment: Biorefining
`• Products: Fuel ethanol, DDGS, wet cake, syrup
`and corn oil
`• The corn oil is sold to the biodiesel industry and
`the other products are sold as animal feed
`• Location: Midwest United States
`
`Application Overview:
`• System: A Tricanter centrifuge used for corn oil
`extraction
`• Capacity: 50 million gallons of fuel ethanol per
`year
`• Oil processing unit typically treats 65 gpm of syrup
`• Syrup solids are typically 33%
`
`Existing Treatment:
`• Prior to running the PTV M-5309 corn oil
`extraction aid, there was no full-time treatment in
`place.
`
`fuel ethanol per year. The product, which is marketed
`as Ashland PTV M-5309 corn oil extraction aid, works
`under a wide variety of operating conditions and can
`be used with both Tricanter and Disk-stack
`centrifuges.
`
`Ashland's corn oil extraction aid contains no APEs or
`VOCs and is biodegradable, kosher certified and
`generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Additionally,
`Ashland has a pending patent application for use of
`Ashland PTV M-5309 in corn oil extraction.
`
`Working together with plant personnel, Ashland
`technical and sales specialists reviewed the
`customer's corn oil production process and
`recommended the new extraction aid. During the plant
`audit, feed points were identified and process and
`regulatory issues were noted. In addition to
`operations, co-product marketing and quality control
`were involved to ensure feed quality concerns were
`addressed. An extended trial with the extraction aid
`was approved.
`
`During the trial, the feed rate for the extraction aid was
`adjusted to maximize corn oil production. Daily profit
`contributions were calculated and confirmed by the
`plant.
`
`Customer Benefits:
`• Corn oil yield was increased by 500,000 gallons
`per year, which increased profits more than
`$500,000 per year
`• Corn oil quality (solids and moisture) was
`improved
`• Feed quality specifications (Profat Tag and color)
`were met
`• The PTV M-5309 extraction aid allowed the plant
`to manage production on an as-needed basis

`
`
`Problem Summary:
`Plant management recognized the value of increased
`corn oil production as a profit contributor. As a result,
`the plant contacted Ashland for assistance.
`
`Customer Objectives:
`Increase corn oil yield
`•
`• Maintain corn oil quality (solids and moisture)
`• Meet feed quality specifications (Profat Tag)
`• Ramp production up and down as desired
`
`Ashland Solution:
`With a long history in developing chemical innovations
`for process improvement, Ashland Water
`Technologies developed a new product that increases
`corn oil yield and improves corn oil quality in plants
`producing 50 to 100 million gallons of
