Ethanol production has taken off and DuPont is now offering corn growers a way to measure the demand for corn in ethanol production. Dupont says its QualiTrak technology will help spur the growth of the ethanol industry.
Ethanol plants have a new tool to enable them to increase the amount of ethanol they produce per bushel of grain. DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred today introduced QualiTrak(SM), a new measurement and reporting system that facilitates the flow of predicted ethanol yield information to both plant personnel and corn growers.
QualiTrak is the only system that predicts and reports ethanol yield data in gallons per bushel.
The measurement function of the QualiTrak system incorporates the Pioneer proprietary Ethanol Yield Potential calibration technology used with FOSS grain analyzers. This calibration accurately predicts ethanol yield on all commercial grain, regardless of seed source. The reporting function provides comprehensive comparative information for all loads of grain delivered to a plant. This data can help both growers and processors evaluate and compare each delivery.
