Patent number: 11944109Abstract: This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: ICM, Inc.Inventors: Charles C. Gallop, Christopher Riley William Gerken

Publication number: 20230212471Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for using a single cellulosic feedstock or a combination of two or more different cellulosic feedstocks with a starch component to produce a fermented product. The process includes separating the components of the cellulosic feedstocks with fractionation, pretreating a component with wet fractionation with chemicals, hydrolysis and fermenta-tion of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel. The process may include combining the cellulosic feedstock(s) with other components to a cook and/or a fermentation process, distilling and dehydrating the combined components to produce the biofuel. The process may also include producing a whole stillage stream from the feedstock(s) and mechanically processing the whole stillage stream to produce a high-value protein animal feed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: ICM, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Edward Javers, Christopher Riley William Gerken, Charles C.

Publication number: 20150182882Abstract: This disclosure describes providing techniques to separate suspended solids from liquid with dissolved solids in a process stream. This disclosure describes a method for adding a chemical to the process stream in which the chemical induces flocculation to occur with suspended solids. The process separates the suspended solids formed in in flocs by using a dewatering device. This creates a liquid with dissolved solids stream and suspended solids for furthering processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2014Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Charles C.
