Site Overview
• ICM Fagen design-build commissioned in 2008. • Permitted to produce up to 130 million gallons of ethanol / • Approximately 196 acre plant site with optional 250 contiguous acres / • Established industrial infrastructure and efficient site layout designed for expansion

Grain Receiving and DDG Loadout
• Efficient site logistics<br>Grain Receiving: / • Two 500,000 bushel grain bins / • Inbound and outbound scales with RFID reader / • Two grain unloading bays with 18,000 BPH legs / • Truck turnaround on site in average 8 minutes<br>• Distillers Grain Loading: • 2 truck/container/rail loading bays at 15,000 BPH / • Wet pad truck loading as required

Process Building
• Process maintenance / • Process control room / • Fermentation Row: Seven 800,000 gallon fermenters and a 1,000,000 gallon beer well / • Corn oil extraction

Energy Center
• Four ICM rotary drum dryers with 45 mm Btu/hr burners / • Six Flottweg centrifuges / • Two Victory Energy boilers and one Nebraska boiler all rated at 100,000 pounds/hour / • Two ICM Thermal Oxidizers at 135 mmBtu/hr

Distillation and Dehydration
• Eight evaporators by A&B Process systems / • Beer column / • Rectifier / • Side stripper

Water Treatment Center
Worked with U.S. Water Services to transition to a Zero Liquid Discharge water treatment system dramatically reducing the amount of water required to produce ethanol and eliminating waste water discharge to the environment.

Ethanol Storage
• Two 1.5 million gallon finished ethanol product storage tanks / • 200 proof tank / • 190 proof / • Denaturant tank / • Distillers Grain storage: • DDG building dimensions 125 ft x 175 ft / • Two 4,000 ton storage silos / • Wet pad dimensions 105 ft x 85 ft

Ethanol Loading
• Two rail loading stations can simultaneously load two cars per hour / • Automated truck self loading station / • Currently load and ship ’96 car unit trains

Rail Yard
• Superior rail infrastructure: • Six ladder tracks with 8 miles of installed rail / • 15 total switches / • Capacity to handle 275 cars on the ladder tracks and 75 cars on “in plant” tracks / • Steel ties throughout / • Served by Iowa Interstate RR

Sieve Bottles
Installed three additional sieve bottles to support meeting EU ethanol specifications without reducing plant run rates.
