Recovery Act: Pilot Integrated Cellulosic Biorefinery Operations to Fuel Ethanol
- ICM, Inc., Colwich, KS (United States)
DOE EE002875 Technical Report Public Release. The objective was to leverage ICM’s pre-existing corn to ethanol pilot plant to build and to commission a fully functional pilot integrated cellulosic biorefinery. ICM’s Integrated Biorefinery (IBR) project was designed to achieve four major objectives. These primary goals were achieved during the performance period from December 2009 – August 2015. The design and construction phase took place from December 2009 until August 2011, with an increase in budget of nearly 4 million dollars. This increased cost was offset by operational changes, so the amount spent for the overall project increased by less than $500,000. There were three 1,000-hour performance test conducted, which produced cellulosic feedstock.
