Get faster and more efficient

Improve operational efficiency and move your business forward by accelerating fermentation,
increasing yields, and reducing consumption of energy and natural resources.

Boost Your Corn Oil

Distillers Corn Oil (DCO) is a valuable coproduct for ethanol producers, offering an additional revenue stream and enhancing the overall profitability of ethanol production.

While yields have improved year over year, most of the industry is only recovering about 50-60% of total yield. The recovery of DCO can be significantly increased with the combination of OPTIMASH® F200 and OPTIMASH® AX.

OPTIMASH® Products

Our OPTIMASH® range of products consists of a diverse line of accessory enzymes including:

optimash_1280x600

Xylanases

Xylanases – hydrolyze the arabinoxylans in the corn fiber making previously unavailable starch accessible. Alpha-amylases can now act on this starch and allow it to be converted to fermentable sugars.

optimash_1280x600

Cellulases

Cellulases – increases corn oil yield by freeing oil from the corn fiber matrix, improves energy efficiency by dewatering the corn kernel fiber thereby decreasing natural gas usage, and enables customer to generate in-situ cellulosic ethanol gallons

optimash_1280x600

Proteases

Proteases – for increased corn oil and ethanol yield paired with a lipase for superior foam control.

optimash_1280x600

Phytases

Phytases – efficiently hydrolyzes phytate under ethanol fermentation conditions, generating inositol, an important yeast nutrient while maximizing the level of free phosphate in residuals (DDGS).

Trehalases

Trehalases – for hydrolyzing extracellular trehalose to glucose during the SSF process, which can then be converted into additional ethanol.

FERMGEN® 2.5X

FERMGEN® 2.5X is a line of acid proteolytic enzymes designed to hydrolyze proteins under low pH conditions.

The broad substrate specificity of FERMGEN® 2.5X protease enables the enzyme to easily and efficiently hydrolyze most proteins in a random fashion – delivering faster fermentation rates and yield.
