The gasifier produces approximately 60,000 lbs/hr, 150 psi process steam for ethanol cooking and distillation. This is about one-half of the necessary steam. The balance of the process steam is produced by a natural gas boiler. By campaigning different biomass fuels (corn stover, cobs, switchgrass, wood chips) along with the corn fiber, the gasifier could easily supply 100 percent of the process steam. By increasing the steam pressure temperature to 800 psi/800F, and adding a back-pressure turbine generator, the gasifier could supply power for plant use and for sale to the grid and 100 percent of the process steam necessary for the plant. The ICM plant demonstrates the next generation in ethanol production process technology. The ICM plant incorporates corn fractionation, process steam from renewable energy, food nutrients, protein and biochemicals production.  ICM was recently awarded a DOE grant to co-locate a commercial-scale cellulosic pilot plant at the St. Joseph, MO location.
