At Marquis Energy, we utilize the starch from locally grown corn to produce ethanol, leaving behind a concentrated mixture of proteins, fats, and fibers, which is sold as Distiller's Grain (DG). DG provides a consistent source of protein and energy for livestock throughout the United States and the rest of the world. In Hennepin, we utilize the most advanced steam tube drying system in the renewable fuels industry. This low-heat system allows us to produce the highest quality dried distiller's grain available in the world, Marquis Gold 60.

The utilization of direct steam drying ensures that Marquis Gold 60 never sees temperatures over 220 deg F. Lower temperature drying helps maintain a high quality amino acid profile, maximizing the availability of key nutrients wherever it's being fed. By avoiding any direct flame, Marquis Gold 60 is produced without the black specs that are commonly seen in distiller's grains. What remains is perhaps the brightest product in the industry. With Hunter L scores consistently over 60, the Marquis Gold DDGS is the feed of choice for feed users throughout the world.

The consistency of Marquis Energy's product is unprecedented, as a state-of the art system of complex matrices allows for the systematic production of DDGS. The work spent developing the drying matrices have allowed the facilities to maintain specific temperatures and moistures throughout the distiller's grain drying process, thereby ensuring the highest quality feed products.
