Fluid Quip Process Technologies Announces the Largest Clean Sugar TechnologyÔäó Order to Date

White Dog Labs orders the technology to produce ProTytonÔäó, a premium
Single Cell Protein for Aquaculture

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fluid Quip Process Technologies announced today that it had reached an
agreement with White Dog Labs (WDL) to provide an 18 million
bushels/year of Clean Sugar TechnologyÔäó (CST) to WDL's first full scale
production plant.

WDL has developed and scaled up ProTyton, a Single Cell Protein
ingredient that exhibits upwards of 85wt% crude protein and over 35wt%
essential amino acids. The product is highly digestible and performs
well in multiple aquaculture diets with leading indicators of health
benefits beyond nutrition. ProTyton fermentation, similar to that of
ethanol, is a simple anaerobic process, thus allowing straightforward
conversion of ethanol plants to ProTyton production.

The patented CST technology was developed by FQPT as a bolt-on to dry
mill ethanol plants to produce a sugar slip stream that allows
diversification of co-products, thus providing additional revenue
streams without detracting from existing co-products. The CST system,
first commissioned in 2016, leverages many FQPT technologies in the
ethanol space. It separates the slurry stream into clean sugar, spent
grains, and corn oil. FQPT will provide the CST technology, separation
equipment, process engineering, construction oversight, and startup
support for the ProTyton plant.

CST is the 5th commercially proven ethanol industry
technology released by FQPT in five years. Each of these technologies
are designed to bring diversification in co-product revenue streams to
the industry.

ÔÇ£We are delighted to be a part of WDL's first ProTyton plant,ÔÇØ said Neal
Jakel, Vice President of Strategy and Technology at FQPT. ÔÇ£In addition
to their organism and process development work, WDL has completed an
impressive process scale-up, using their 5000 gallon in-house fermenter.ÔÇØ

ProTyton, is estimated by aquaculture analysts to command a $2000/ton
price while its production costs are estimated to be below $500. It thus
offers the ethanol industry a profitable diversification into the large,
and ever-growing aquaculture industry.

"We are privileged to work with FQPT,ÔÇØ said WDL's CEO, Bryan Tracy.
ÔÇ£They are the premier process engineering firm in the biofuels industry,
and their track-record of successful MSC and CST installations will
contribute to the plantÔÇÖs start-up and production ramp.ÔÇØ Tracy added,
ÔÇ£Our collaboration will start with the initial construction of our
pre-production line.ÔÇØ
