QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

FUEL GRADE ETHANOL & CORN OIL
Kawartha Ethanol has been producing environmentally friendly fuel-grade ethanol since 2010. Ethanol is a high-octane, economical, clean-burning gasoline additive that improves engine performance, reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and supports the agriculture economy. Our fuel-grade ethanol is sold and distributed across Canada through major oil and fuel companies.
Corn oil is a co-product of ethyl alcohol production. Our corn oil is sold for use in providing animal nutrition, and to create bio-diesel and renewable diesel – clean alternatives to fossil fuels.
DISTILLERS CO-PRODUCTS
At Kawartha Ethanol, we use our resources efficiently. The distillation process produces co-products, namely distillers grain, and corn oil. Wet and dry distillers grains with solubles (WDGS and DDGS) are an excellent source of protein and energy for ruminant and non-ruminant livestock. Corn oil is utilized as a feedstock for bio-diesel and renewable diesel production. Sales of our WDGS, DDGS, and corn oil are handled through our related company, Lamond Feed Energy.

MINIMIZING WASTE AND MAXIMIZING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
Maintaining a healthy environmental balance is crucial to Kawartha Ethanol. One of our commitments is to adopt initiatives and actions that allows us to use renewable resources without compromising the environment’s ability to regenerate and serve to future generations. To fulfill this, Kawartha Premium Alcohols has acquired an extremely efficient distillation technology. This includes top of the line instrumentation and control systems through which we are able to optimize the use of resources (water and energy). The efficient use of resources plays a significant role in the “golden” rules of environmental sustainability: reduce, reuse and recycle. This ultimately translates into environmental preservation and footprint reduction.
The ethyl alcohol expansion project was funded in part by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario.
