At ICM, Inc., we work to understand our customers’ needs, then make it our mission to deliver guaranteed solutions to meet them. That’s why we offer turnkey solutions based on a full-service, best-value engineering approach, whether you’re building a new facility or expanding an existing plant.

Our licensed, professional engineers design customized solutions to meet our customers’ unique requirements then see them through fabrication, installation, construction, training, startup, and testing.

We have extensive experience operating ethanol plants, including process design, operations management, and environmental compliance. We even offer a comprehensive menu of professional engineering services designed to take our customer from initial concept studies and design through operational training and startup.

In addition to the high level of experience, service, and dedication our team offers, ICM-designed plants have several advantages:

25% Less Piping

ICM-designed plants use 25% less pipe than other plants, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination, making pipes easier to access, and lowering costs.

Batch Processing

Because ICM design takes advantage of batch processing, as opposed to continual processing, plant operators can clean pipes and tanks after each batch has been processed. As a result, the risk of bacterial contamination is reduced, and beer columns require less cleaning.

Unique Evaporation/Distillation Process

ICM’s proprietary evaporation/distillation process results in a 10% energy reduction, because heat is shared between the units, and 5% less downtime.

Operationally Friendly Design

Nothing is more frustrating than a high-tech gadget that’s impossible to operate. ICM took this into consideration when designing our easy-to-use DCS systems and control panels.

24-Hour Plant Support

Along with unparalleled service during plant design and construction phases, ICM is committed to keeping its plants up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We even offer a Plant Support 24-Hour HOTLINE (888-237-8163).

Big River Resources, LLC

Construction was complete on Big River Resources, originally a 40 MGY plant, in April 2004. The plant's since undergone an expansion, increasing nameplate capacity to 52 MGY. Part of the expansion project involved increasing grain storage capacity from 400,000 bushels to 1.2 million bushels, allowing the plant to position feedstock in advance. This West Burlington, IA, plant features our design, dryer system, thermal oxidizer, and bio-methanator.
