Unlock the value in every kernel

Fiberex® is a blend of enzymes targeted to break down the complex matrix of every corn kernel. It converts fiber to simple sugars so you can more easily produce fiber-based ethanol.

Tap into the hidden potential of corn

Although fiber makes up 10% of a corn kernel, very little of this fraction is used during starch-based ethanol production due to difficulty converting the matrix of cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, protein, oil, and minerals.

Maximizing the potential of your ethanol plant

As an ethanol producer, you know that corn-based ethanol is crucial to sustaining an energy strategy that leads to a cleaner environment.

Novonesis Fibrex® is a drop-in enzymes solution that maximizes in-process corn kernal fiber conversion and enables entry into low-carbon-fuel markets without the need for CAPEX.

Unlock the value of your corn fiber

With Fiberex, you can maixmize the potential of your ehtanol plant in 3 ways:

Release untapped potential
The more fiber broken down into simple sugars assimilable to yeast, the higher your ethanol yield. Fiberex breaks down the fiber matrix, releasing fiber-bound starch - often a missed opportunity passed ot the distillers’ grain as residual starch.
Releasing this fiber-bound starch result in a shift of low-value co-product to ethanol of high value.
Maximize cellulosic ethanol plant
Ethanol created from corn kernel fiver qualifies as cellulosic ethanol, enabling an opportunity to enter low-carbon-fuel markets.
Fiberex enables industry leading volumes of low-carbon, high-value cellulosic ethanol as measured by certified analytical laboratories. This new stream represents an opportunity of low-carbon-fuel credits. including under California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
Go beyond ethanol
The value you can access from your corn goes far beyond ethanol and low-carbon-fuel credits. With Fiberex, you can unlock up to 15% more corn oil form the fiber matrix, translating into a profit boost. additionally, Fiberex has a dewatering effect on wet cake and, can help save energy in drying operations.
