POET Biorefining-Laddonia, MO, is undergoing a 10-million-gallon expansion that will result in additional corn demand of three million bushels/year from area farmers, reportsTheVandalia Leader.
诗人总经理史蒂夫·墨菲说Leaderthat POET had been looking to expand for several years, but those plans were halted by a drought in 2012.
The expansion is scheduled to be complete by early to mid-summer, weather permitting. The bioprocessing facility is adding a small building extension for equipment, another fermenter and another mill to grind corn into flour. Most of the expansion, though, will occur inside the existing plant.
