Abstract: A method and system for increasing the purity of protein from a system that produces protein, such as a high protein meal, from dry milling of grains including, for example, corn and wheat. The purity of the high protein meal, for example, can be increased by back end enzyme treatment of yeast, which has been separated along with protein from whole stillage. The enzyme(s) can breakdown the yeast into its yeast components that can be removed from the protein to provide for an increased purity of a resulting high protein product.

Abstract: An improved dry grind method and system for recovering oil from insoluble solids (fiber wet cake) separated from the whole stillage byproduct in a plant that derives a biochemical, such as alcohol (e.g., ethanol), from corn, wheat, or other cereal grains. In one embodiment, the method includes subjecting the fiber wet cake to one or more dryers to provide a desirable moisture content in a resulting dried fiber cake. Then, the dried fiber cake can be subjected to one or more oil press devices, such as an expeller press, that extracts bound oil from the dried fiber cake by squeezing or pressing the fiber cake under high pressure and at a desired temperature to provide an oil filtrate. The oil in the oil filtrate can be recovered via an oil recovery centrifuge and can be sold as a separate high value product.

Abstract: A landing gear platform is positionable between rearward and forward tires on one side of an aircraft landing gear and rearward and forward tires on the opposite side of the aircraft landing gear. The platform includes a pair of chocks that engage between the rearward and forward tires on the one side of the aircraft landing gear and the rearward and forward tires on the opposite side of the aircraft landing gear and prevent the tires from rotating. A panel spans over the tops of the pair of chocks. A top surface of the panel can be reached by a worker using a stepstool, enabling the worker to stand on the top surface of the panel when performing work on the landing gear above the rearward and forward tires of the aircraft landing gear.
