Agricultural Commodity Processing
In the 1980s, AMG, Inc., serviced only the corn wet milling industry.
It wasn't long before their rapidly expanding project list included design and engineering services for the fructose, glucose, and modified starch processing industries. Now, AMG, Inc., has designed and constructed numerous corn wet milling and soybean processing plants that extract oils and produce protein. More recently, they've designed and constructed rice, wheat, and barley processing facilities, as well.
In the 1990s, the ethanol industry came to life. Since ethanol is derived from corn, it was a natural for AMG, Inc., to design and build corn processing plants that produce fuel ethanol and its coproducts — carbon dioxide and dry distiller grain (DDG).
Today, AMG, Inc., has merged its experience in corn wet milling with an entrepreneurial spirit — to lead the way in developing and proving a viable alternative to the traditional dry corn milling process. More specifically, AMG, Inc., is collaborating in a new venture to develop a modified corn wet milling system that produces:- Corn germ — for edible oils & high-protein meal
- Corn protein concentrate (CPC) — for a higher-protein livestock feed product that can be used for cattle, pork, & poultry
- Fiber — for a low-carbohydrate product that can be further purified for human consumption
- Carbon dioxide
- Ethanol
The new system has been pilot-plant tested. The very promising results demonstrate how AMG, Inc., ethanol production expertise has evolved into the ability to produce higher-value products that are more:
- Refined
- Environmentally friendly
- Profitable
