LIMA — Each day, Guardian Lima grinds roughly 420 acres of corn. The ethanol plant is known for its production of fuel-grade ethanol, an alternative, corn-based fuel mixed with gasoline in fuels like E15 and E85. But the plant also produces dry distiller’s grain and distiller’s corn oil, lesser known products used in animal feed, biodiesel and other oil-based products.
A single bushel of corn is turned into three gallons of ethanol, 15 pounds of distiller’s grain and one pound of distiller’s corn oil, Guardian Plant Manager Jack Wolfcale told the Lima Rotary Club on Monday.
