Balancing competitiveness and environmental impact

The growth expectations for the starch sweetener industry may be challenging for you as a corn wet miller. That means the focus on preparing your plant for long-term success maintaining competitive margins and a profitable business has never been more critical.

At the same time, there’s an important commitment to reduce environmental impact. These two goals - matching production to demand and sustainability - often seem at odds with one another.

Short-term solutions usually fall short

Mechanical separation has reached its limits, leaving valuable starch, CGM, and excess moisture in your corn fiber. This means your mill isn’t being used to its full potential. And boosting your output through short-term solutions with diminishing returns sacrifices long-term competitiveness for short-term gains.

What if there is a way to boost your mill’s starch and CGM output and release feed house capacity while, at the same time, saving on fiber drying costs and reducing your environmental footprint?

The time for biosolutions in corn wet milling is now

With biosolutions for corn wet milling, you can release more starch, protein, and water from your corn fibers while also reducing energy use and CO₂ emissions.

Frontia® Fiberwash and Frontia® Prime are the only enzyme solutions that allow state-of-the-art separation efficiency with the highest yields of starch and CGM while also reducing moisture in your corn fiber to the lowest possible level.

Achieve a new standard in separation efficiency

Adding Frontia® Fiberwash or Frontia® Prime to your mechanical separation takes your separation to a new level, matching production to demand to ensure that you rise to the challenge of a competitive market, preparing your corn wet milling operation for the future and setting up your plant for long-term success.

Release more starch

Boost your margins by achieving higher starch yield from your current grind or producing the same amount of starch with less input.

Release more corn gluten meal

Boost your margins by achieving higher protein yield from your current grind, increasing your CGM output and contribution margin.

Release more moisture

Release more water from your corn fiber, reducing drying energy to free up feed house capacity, save money, and reduce CO₂ emissions.

Become an industry leader in sustainability

You don’t need to sacrifice “doing good” for “doing well.” Novonesis biosolutions for enzymatic separation enable you to reach your production targets with less corn. Enzymatic separation reduces bottlenecks with lower/less solids and water load in the feed house, reducing your environmental footprint with less energy consumption and lower carbon emissions*.

Save energy: Significantly improved dewatering reduces the amount of fossil fuel-based steam for fiber drying.

Reduce CO₂: Meeting your production goals with less corn results in a potential CO₂ reduction of up to 12 kg/metric ton of corn.
