ICM, Inc. is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with
Western New York Energy, LLC (WNYE) to implement ICM’s cutting-edge
FOT Oil Recovery™ system.
Under the terms of the agreement, ICM will be responsible for
engineering, equipment procurement, and installation of its
proprietary FOT Oil Recovery™ system at WNYE’s advanced facility in
Medina, New York. This agreement marks the sixth commercial
installation of ICM’s proprietary oil recovery technology.
FOT Oil Recovery™, a two-step separation system integrated after
the distillation process, significantly increases downstream oil
recovery by optimizing solids-liquid separation in the whole
stillage. This system also dewaters the whole stillage cake as it
goes to the dyer, reducing a plant’s natural gas load.
“WNYE was an early adopter of ICM’s Base Tricanter System™ and
Selective Milling Technology™,” stated Tim Winters, CEO of WNYE.
“We are excited to collaborate again with ICM for the integration
of this efficient process technology, which we anticipate will
bring substantial oil recovery, energy savings, and overall
operational improvements targeting a lower production CI
score.”
Tom Ranallo, vice president of operations at ICM, emphasized the
unique benefits of FOT Oil Recovery™: “What sets FOT Oil Recovery™
apart is its dual impact: improving oil recovery while
simultaneously reducing natural gas usage. This not only enhances
our customers’ profitability but also contributes to lowering their
carbon footprint. We are thrilled about the opportunity to
collaborate with WNYE and deliver these benefits to their
operations.”
ICM’s customized strategy for supporting customers such as WNYE
in enhancing their oil recovery involves identifying different
opportunities across the entire facility. This collaborative
approach extends beyond the FOT Oil Recovery™ system and enables
ICM to offer better performance guarantees for improved oil
recovery.
The on-site installation of FOT Oil Recovery™ is slated to
commence this fall, with a system startup in the Spring of
2025.
