If it’s time to expand, our patented plant expansion process has been running for 9 years. It’s made the ethanol plant millions of dollars. We’ll guarantee it for your plant too. It’s easy and there’s no headaches. If you want more gallons at a less cost, this is the answer.
Increase Ethanol Production
We provide turnkey major and minor expansions whether it is a entirely new distillation/evaporation train (line) or debottlenecking to increase production and reduced unit costs. There is no need to build a whole new existing plant next to your current one. Many plants are constrained by dryers, distillation, or downstream systems. For example, one of LucasE3’s technologies for dryer limited plants, can increase overall plant capacity by up to 25%. LucasE3 focuses on debottlenecking existing assets to unlock additional capacity, allowing plants to produce more gallons using what they already have. Most of our patented solutions revolve around this. Schedule a visit to come see it work.
Minimal Operational Disruption
- Plant expansion projects are engineered to minimize operational disruption. Systems are designed to integrate seamlessly to existing operations, reducing downtime, startup risk, and the burden on plant personnel during implementation
- 45Z Capitalization
- Increasing production efficiency without increasing CI allows plants to maximize the value of 45Z tax credits. As gallonage increases with the expansion, the income increases as well. LucasE3’s strategies are designed to support growth while maintaining or improving CI performance
- All combined, a reduced energy plant expansion is available and proven technology at LucasE3.
