International Process Plants (IPP) has leased its fermentation-based bio-acetone and bio-butanol plant in Little Falls, Minnesota to Nuol Green Chemistry, a company focused on replacing petrochemical products with sustainable alternatives. The 40-million-gallon-per-year plant will be used to produce isobutanol and acetone, among other advanced bio-based chemicals. The 27-acre site features commercial and pilot-scale fermentation and distillation systems, as well as comprehensive product testing laboratories. The facility can handle large-scale production, with features including four 285,000-gallon fermenters, milling and ultrafiltration systems, and multistage distillation and evaporation systems. Nuol Green Chemistry aims to accelerate the commercialization of its sustainable chemical products, which will support decarbonization and reduce reliance on petrochemicals. This partnership marks another significant step towards sustainable manufacturing, as IPP’s President, Ronald Gale, notes.
