Bioethanol plant in Argentina

11 November 2011

AGD (Aceitera General Deheza) of Argentina and global player Bunge, two renowned agribusiness groups, have teamed up for a bioethanol project in Argentina and selected VOGELBUSCH technology for their grassroots facility.

The new joint venture, ProMaíz S. A., is to be located in Alejandro Roca, Córdoba province. As its name implies, the plant will process corn which is abundant in Argentina. The country currently exports 60% (14 million tons) of its corn production and is the world's second largest exporter behind the United States. The facility will require 0.35 million tons of corn annually.

The plant has a nameplate capacity of 420,000 liters of bioethanol per day and is projected for startup in early 2013. Bioethanol and byproducts produced by the facility will be marketed in local markets. In Argentina, gasoline must contain 5% ethanol (E5).

VOGELBUSCH will provide process design, detailed engineering, procurement assistance, and supervision of erection and start-up of the plant.
