    Master Every Drop with Kurita at Fuel Ethanol Workshop

    Boost Production. Cut Carbon Intensity. Total Plant Mastery.

Fuel Ethanol Workshop (FEW) 

St. Louis, MO · June 2 - 4, 2026 · Booth 1101

Ethanol producers are under increasing pressure to produce more while lowering their carbon intensity scores. 

The key is plant-wide mastery. 

From fermentation to product, inefficiencies in process performance, water use, and energy demand - all contribute to lost production and higher CI scores. 

At the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo, we’ll show how integrated process and water solutions help producers: 

  • Increase yield  
  • Reduce water and energy consumption 
  • Improve carbon intensity scores 

Visit our booth to learn how to Master Every Drop — from feedstock to product.
