Butamax Advanced Biofuels LLC and
Highwater Ethanol LLC,
a leading producer of first generation ethanol,
have begun to retrofit Highwater's ethanol plant
in Lamberton, Minnesota, USA,
for the production of biobutanol.
Butamax and Highwater have entered into
definitive agreements for license of
Butamax's patented corn oil separation technology,
which is an integral part of a full retrofit to
biobutanol production
and can be also installed independently as
a first phase of the conversion.
Additionally, Butamax has reached agreement with
Fagen Inc.
for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
of this project and as part of Butamax's vision for
roll-out of its full biobutanol production technology.
Butamax,
Paul Beckwith, CEO
- This is an important milestone for Butamax and its partners.
We formulated a strategy to
provide the most advanced technology to improve
current biofuel production, offer better co-product profiles,
and pave the way for
near term, large-scale isobutanol production.
- Today, our vision is becoming reality.
- We have spent significant time and energy building the right team
and developing and protecting the right technology.
We could not be more excited about the next steps
towards a whole new biofuels industry.
