Products and Services

• Ethanol: A renewable, clean-burning fuel produced through the fermentation of sugars found in crops such as corn. United Ethanol, LLC specializes in producing high-grade ethanol that is used in various applications, ranging from fuel additives to increase octane levels in gasoline, to industrial solvents and even beverages. The company’s ethanol production contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
• Dry and Wet Distiller Grain: By-products of the ethanol production process, these grains are highly nutritious and serve as a valuable feed option for livestock. Dry Distiller Grain (DDG) is the solid residue left after ethanol production, having removed the water, which makes it easy to store and transport. Wet Distiller Grain (WDG), on the other hand, retains most of its moisture, making it a cost-effective feed for use in close proximity to the production facility. Both forms of distiller grain represent a sustainable use of resources, turning potential waste into a valuable commodity for the agricultural sector.
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A by-product of the fermentation process used in ethanol production, carbon dioxide captured from United Ethanol’s operations is purified and liquefied for use in various industries, including beverage carbonation, food processing, and even in controlled atmosphere storage for fruits and vegetables. This capture and reuse of CO2 not only prevent its release into the atmosphere, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also provides a valuable resource for various applications.
