ADM has successfully scaled up and commercialized a catalytic technology licensed from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for the production of propylene glycol from glycerin. The technology is currently being practiced at 200,000 metric tons per year at our corn wet milling facility in Decatur, Illinois. The plant is capable of producing both industrial grade and the world’s only USP grade propylene glycol. This presentation will discuss the challenges and successes of scaling up a new to the world renewable technology from primarily a technical perspective but also from a customer and market perspective.
