Turnkey Modular Biotechnology demonstration facility located in Emmetsburg, Iowa that has been used to test, validate and
optimize many different biotechnologies, including: corn starch to ethanol (1 million gallon per year rate), other starch products
to ethanol, waste milk whey to ethanol, waste paper to ethanol, general cellulosic products to ethanol, sugar to ethanol,
n-butanol, acetone, and high-grade liquid glucose sugar production, cellulosic to sugar conversion, microbe growth, and
high-feed-grade bio proteins.
Facility is designed to demonstrate new technologies on a commercial scale, without being so large that developers waste
capital on large scale testing only to find the technology needs expensive changes and modifications. The plant consists of a
fully automatic, computer-controlled system with extensive data collection capabilities for the research and testing of new
biotechnologies. All equipment is modularized so that new technologies can easily be inserted for plug and play testing. All
equipment can be “tuned” via an extensive software system to allow different process technologies to be quickly and easily
adjusted via computer control.
Seller is happy to assist buyer with modularizing, automating, and implementing buyer’s own technologies. The system can be
up and running your new disruptive technology in days versus building a new plant and waiting years for it to be completed.
Thus, this facility is an ideal candidate for implanting various bio-related (beyond shovel ready) state and federal demonstration
grants.
Sale includes land, 2 modern facilities with offices, control rooms, laboratory, and modular equipment (all equipment is
modularized). Because of this, once initial testing and optimization is complete, buyer could move equipment to an end
customer’s site for production or perform additional testing.
