A great feature of the DCO technology is its ability to recover additional oil without increasing the use of chemical/enzyme solutions, allowing plants to achieve higher yields without higher long-term OPEX.” Ace Ethanol is dedicated to producing high-quality renewable fuels while staying at the forefront of innovation. The success of FQT’s DCO Technology supports their goal of enhancing efficiency and producing top-tier products. “The DCO system has continued to achieve record oil yields for Ace.  We saw increased oil out of the gate and the system has continued to show impressive recovery over the long-term without additional spend on chemicals, which has added more income to our bottom line,” said Neal Kemmet, President of Ace Ethanol. “We’re thrilled to partner with Fluid Quip Technologies on these state-of-the-art solutions, which have improved our efficiency, enhanced our product offerings, and contributed to a more sustainable future.” **About Fluid Quip Technologies** Fluid Quip Technologies® (FQT) is a premier technology and engineering firm based in Cedar Rapids, IA, USA. FQT was founded on extensive experience within the agricultural processing, corn wet milling and dry grind ethanol industries.
