20140261217 | REDUCED WEIGHT LIVE POULTRY HAULING SYSTEM - A reduced-weight poultry cage is used in conjunction with a reduced-weight trailer to transport live poultry for maximizing the poundage of poultry being transported while reducing the number of trips and fuel expenses. The poultry cage includes a combination of aluminum and plastic elements that reduce cage weight, provide for nesting of cages in stacks as well as easy replacement of failed parts. Furthermore, a drop-deck aluminum trailer with a reduced floor and guide rail alignment stops allows for a durable yet lightweight trailer that can haul a plurality of stacks of these poultry cages, thereby maximizing cubic feet availability while being compliant with various road and bridge laws. | 09-18-2014 |

20130130343 | PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS FOR DRY-MILLED CORN ETHANOL AND CORN OIL PRODUCTION WITH IMPROVED CARBON FOOTPRINT - The present invention improves corn dry milling in several ways. Integrated corn biorefinery processes are disclosed which can produce ethanol, edible corn oil, DDGS, solvent-extracted meal, power, and optionally crude corn oil, starting from corn. Some variations employ corn fractionation and edible corn oil recovery using liquid carbon dioxide, avoiding hazardous hydrocarbon-based solvents to produce edible corn oil. Some variations employ integration of gas-fired co-generation into the dry-milled corn ethanol plant to significantly reduce energy usage and carbon footprint associated with the overall process. Counter-current drying is preferably employed to produce a high-quality DDGS product with high protein content, low mycotoxin content, and low residual ethanol content. | 05-23-2013 |
20140060130 | PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS FOR CO-PRODUCING FERMENTATION PRODUCTS, FERTILIZERS, AND DISTILLERS GRAINS FROM STARCH-CONTAINING FEEDSTOCKS, AND COMPOSITIONS PRODUCED THEREFROM - The present invention provides a process for producing a fertilizer composition from still bottoms obtained from milling of a starch-containing feedstock (such as corn), comprising separating still bottoms into a solids stream and a thin stillage stream; removing water to generate a condensed distillers solubles stream; and recovering the condensed distillers solubles stream as a fertilizer composition. Novel fertilizer compositions as well as novel distillers grains products are co-produced with a fermentation product (such as ethanol or isobutanol). Benefits include the ability to recycle valuable crop nutrients in a sustainable manner; improved ethanol life cycle analysis due to lower crop inputs and lower energy consumption; reduced environmental burden from industrial animal farming due to nitrogen and phosphorous emissions; higher consumption of distillers grains in ruminants currently limited by sulfur and/or fat inhibition; and higher consumption of distillers grains in monogastrics due to higher protein digestibility and less heat damage. | 03-06-2014 |
