California biofuels technology corporation Primafuel has created a new Kansas-based subsidiary for next-generation biofuels solutions.

According to the company, Primafuel Solutions will deliver next-generation, market-ready technology solutions to the biofuels industry. By taking Primafuel’s advanced technology platforms to market, Primafuel Solutions is working with customers to facilitate the transition to more sustainable bio-refineries. The team’s initial offering is SMAART™Oil, a down-stream system that extracts more food and fuel from the same bushel of corn.

Primafuel Solutions will introduce additional bio-separation innovations in 2009. Future technologies will include systems to convert low-value fats from ethanol facilities into more food-grade and fuel-grade materials, as well as other higher value compounds.
