Western New York Energy Sees Major Oil Recovery Gains with Installation of ICM's FOT Oil Recovery™ System
Following a smooth, quick startup, WNYE reported an increase of nearly 80 percent in corn oil yield, going from 0.67 to as much as 1.20 pounds per bushel. This represents a significant performance gain, particularly in a region where the fat content of incoming corn is typically lower than the national average. Additional benefits include a 4 percent reduction in natural gas usage, improved distillers grain quality, and a rise in fermentation yield.
'In my 18-year career, this was probably the quickest and most successful project I've been a part of,' said Isahia Schoolcraft, Vice President of Operations at WNYE. 'We completed construction, started up the system, and the very next day we saw the results we were promised.'
'We evaluated multiple technologies and felt this was the best fit for us,' added Timothy Winters, President and CEO of WNYE. 'The system integrated smoothly with our existing operations, and the ICM team was flexible and collaborative throughout the process. They designed around our plant, trained our operators, and made sure we were set up for success.'
ICM's FOT Oil Recovery™ System is a mechanical solution that does not require the use of chemicals or demulsifiers. It helps ethanol producers recover more corn oil while offering flexible configurations to meet plant-specific goals and budget.
'Western New York Energy continues to be a strong partner, and we're proud to help them achieve this level of performance,' said Chris Mitchell, President and CEO of ICM, Inc. 'The results speak for themselves. Greater yield, less energy use, smooth startup, and a very happy customer. That's the kind of impact we aim to deliver.'

Kioxia Commences Sample Shipments of 9th Generation BiCS FLASHTM 512Gb TLC Devices
Combine Existing Memory Cell and Advanced CMOS Technologies to Maximize Investment Efficiency TOKYO, July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced it has commenced sample shipments¹ of 512Gb Triple-Level Cell (TLC) memory devices incorporating its 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM 3D flash memory technology. It plans to commence mass production in fiscal year 2025. The devices are designed to support applications requiring high performance and exceptional power efficiency in the low- to mid-level storage capacities. They will also be integrated into Kioxia's enterprise SSDs, in particular those that aim to maximize GPU efficiency in AI systems. Kioxia continues to pursue a dual-axis strategy to address the diverse needs of cutting-edge applications while delivering competitive products providing optimal investment efficiency. The two axes are: 9th generation BiCS FLASH™ products: these achieve high performance at reduced production cost by leveraging CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology,² which integrates existing memory cell technologies³ with the latest CMOS technology. 10th generation BiCS FLASH™ products: these incorporate an expansion in the number of memory layers to meet the expected future demand for larger-capacity, high-performance solutions. The new 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM 512Gb TLC, developed using a 120-layer stacking process based on 5th generation BiCS FLASH™ technology and advanced CMOS technology, exhibit significant performance improvements over Kioxia's existing BiCS FLASHTM products⁴ with the same 512Gb capacity. These include: Write performance: 61% improvement Read performance: 12% improvement Power efficiency: enhanced by 36% during write operations and 27% during read operations Data transfer speed: the Toggle DDR6.0 interface enables high-speed 3.6Gb/s⁵ NAND interface performance Bit density: increased by 8% through advancements in planar scaling Additionally, Kioxia has confirmed that the 512Gb TLC operates at NAND interface speeds of up to 4.8Gb/s⁵ under demonstration conditions. The product lineup will be determined in accordance with market demands. Kioxia is committed to strengthening its global partnerships and pursuing further innovation in order to continue delivering optimal solutions that meet the diverse needs of its customers. These samples are for the functional check purpose and the specifications of the samples may differ in mass production. Technology wherein each CMOS wafer and cell array wafer are manufactured separately in their optimized condition and then bonded together. A 112-layer 5th generation BiCS FLASHTM and a 218-layer 8th generation BiCS FLASHTM technologies. The new lineup of 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM products will incorporate one of these, depending on the model. 6th generation BiCS FLASH™, which is deploying the same 512Gb TLC product as this product. 1Gbps is calculated as 1,000,000,000bits/second. This value is obtained under specific our test environment, and may vary depending on use conditions. Notes: In every mention of a Kioxia product: Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications. The definition of 1Gb = 2^30 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits.
