Fluid Quip Technologies, a global leader in advanced biofuel, biochemical, and innovative co-product technologies, announced on Aug. 9 that it will provide the world’s first wheat-based Maximized Stillage Co-products (MSC) system, to Ensus U.K. Limited’s ethanol facility in Teesside, a subsidiary of CropEnergies AG. The agreement between the companies is a testament to the feedstock flexibility and efficiency of MSC.

“We are incredibly excited about this opportunity to work hand-in-hand with Crop Energies and Ensus UK for our first MSC installation with wheat as the main feedstock,” said Neal Jakel, president of FQT. “Our MSC technology has a proven track record in delivering high-quality animal feed solutions, and this project marks our entry into the UK and European markets for the technology.”

FQT’s patented MSC technology seamlessly integrates into Ensus U.K. Limited’s existing biofuel operations, allowing for the efficient production of a higher-value protein-enriched animal feed co-product. Beyond corn and wheat, FQT’s MSC system can work with a variety of feedstocks including sorghum blends.

FQT has 11 MSC systems in operation worldwide with one additional system currently under construction and others in engineering phases. FQT has completed preliminary engineering for the Ensus system and will begin full-scale detail engineering and equipment procurement this month.
