The Andersons Albion Ethanol facility is capable of producing 55 million gallons of dry mill fuel ethanol annually. To keep up this production schedule, the plant requires 20 million bushels of corn to make its ethanol quota. It can also make 155,000 tons of dried distillers grain on a yearly basis.© 2007 -

Much of the 20 million bushels of corn comes via railcars.© 2007 -
Once the delivered corn is ground into a fine yellow powder, it is blended with other materials in fermentors to produce ethanol.© 2007 -
To protect its materials, security is important at the plant.© 2007
