Whitefox Technologies is pleased to announce that IGPC Ethanol in Aylmer, Ontario will install a Whitefox ICE® membrane dehydration system. The installation project is anticipated to be completed by the end of this year.

Jackie Hayes, Whitefox Business Development Manager North America, said this represents the company’s first installation in Canada. “Whitefox has had a strong presence in Canada for over 20 years, as it is home to our Engineering and R&D centers in Calgary,” said Hayes. “Once the Whitefox ICE® solution is installed, it will assist IGPC to achieve key strategic objectives of Canadian biofuels policy – to make more fuel ethanol gallons in Canada, with reduced carbon intensity – and do so with lower energy and operating costs.”

The Whitefox ICE® system treats existing recycle streams to free up and debottleneck distillation-dehydration capacity, enabling IGPC Ethanol to lower natural gas use, cut carbon emissions, improve plant cooling, and increase potential production capacity depending on the system design. Whitefox ICE® is integrated into existing corn ethanol production plants with minimal disruption and a small footprint.
