PEKIN, Ill., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alto Ingredients, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTO), a leading producer and distributor of specialty alcohols, renewable fuel and essential ingredients, provided updates on its Magic Valley facility in Idaho where it has installed Harvesting Technology’s patented system to capture its high protein and corn oil products.
For October to date, the new equipment and system modifications to improve capacity at the Magic Valley facility are delivering the following metrics:
- Average renewable fuel production rates at full production capacity while operating the high protein and corn oil technology systems;
- Protein content at 50% or greater, with improved protein production yields of over three pounds per bushel, diversifying the facility’s product mix with a higher margin offering; and
- Corn oil yields are improving and are expected to increase further as Alto continues aligning systems and operations.
Alto Ingredients CEO Bryon McGregor said, “We are proud of our team’s hard work and tenacity in integrating the necessary design changes to achieve these production milestones. We expect our improved output to contribute to Magic Valley’s bottom line results. We have begun marketing our new high protein products and anticipate sales from associated products to ramp up in the fourth quarter of 2024.”
